Student Life staff will go live in one phase, we will notify you of the timing, we will send out communication to keep you informed.  Check the Student Life HR web page for updates.

What is the Kronos timecard process?

  • Student employees will punch in & out for each shift worked; at the end of the pay period they submit their time
  • Managers/supervisors review and approve employee hours worked and/or leave taken.  As necessary, they will work with the employee and/or departmental Timekeepers to correct any missed punches/shifts.
  • Timekeepers review timecards to ensure approvals are complete prior to payroll upload deadline. For incomplete timecards or timecards with errors, they work with the supervisors to finalize timecards prior to payroll upload deadline.
