Correcting a Punch from the Wrong Punch App It is important to correct the timecard if an employee records a punch using the wrong punch app at the terminal. Unless the timecard is fixed, the employee s hours will not be correct and the system will not calculate the correct accruals for the employee. Punched Using the Public Safety Punch App by Mistake Example: On Friday, the employee punched in using the Public Safety Punch app instead of the Standard Punch app resulting in the following issues: 1. Public Safety Record Punch reflects on the timecard. 2. 5:00pm automatically inserted into the timecard by Kronos 3. Only 72 hours will be paid to the employee. 31

Steps 1. Click in the Transfer cell. 2. Click Search. 3. Click the Work Rule drop-down arrow. 32

4. Click None. 5. Click OK. 33

6. Right click in the punch cell. 7. Click Add Comment. 8. Enter both a comment and a customized note explaining the employee punched in with the wrong punch app. 9. Click OK to close the comments box. 10. Click Save. Punched Using the Standard Punch App by Mistake Steps 1. Follow steps 1-2 in the Punched Using the Public Safety Punch App by Mistake section. 34

2. Click the Work Rule drop-down arrow. 3. Click Public Safety Record Punch. Follow steps 5-9 in the Punched Using the Public Safety Punch App by Mistake section. 35

Adding Missed Punches An employee might forget to punch in or out. When this happens, a solid red box appears in the missed In or Out cell. To add that punch, you click the cell and enter the missed time. Kronos accepts multiple formats for entering punches in a timecard. Time to Enter 8:00am 1:30pm Acceptable Formats 8; 8a; 8am; 8:00; 8:00a; 8:00am 13:30; 1:30p; 1:30pm Example An employee notified you that she forgot to punch out on Wednesday. The employee started her shift at 7:30 A.M. and ended her shift at 4:00 P.M. From the Reconcile Timecard Widget, access the employee s timecard and add the 4:00 P.M. out punch on the employee s timecard for Wednesday. Steps 1. Click the cell containing the missed punch exception. 2. Enter the missing time. 36

3. Enter a comment and note to explain the edit. (Remember, comments and notes are mandatory and justify the edit and record appearing in the Audits tab.) 4. Click Save. Deleting Duplicate Punches with a Comment and Customized Note As a rule, you should not delete punches from timecards because they represent actual times that employees started and stopped working. However, there is an exception to this rule provided we document our actions to reflect in the Audits tab. For example, an employee might punch twice when starting or ending a shift. When this occurs, you will want to delete the extra punch. The Audits tab provides a record of all timecard edits. Example An employee could not remember if he punched in at the beginning of his shift and punched a second time by mistake. You want to delete the employee s second punch. Steps 1. Right-click in the cell where the duplicate punch is located. 37

2. Press the delete key on your keyboard. 3. Click Save. 4. Right-click in the cell where the original (first) punch is located. 5. Click Add Comment. 6. Select one or more comments from the list and write a customized note. Your customized note must justify the transactions which reflect in the Audits tab. 38

7. Click OK. 8. Click Save. 9. Review your work in the Comment and Audits tabs. Overriding Punches For non-exempt employees, Kronos automatically interprets employee punches in the following order: Employee Action Punch Information 1 st punch for day In Punch 2 nd punch for the day Out Punch 3 rd punch for the day In Punch 4 th punch for the day Out Punch 39

However, in the event an employee forgets a punch during the day, Kronos may misinterpret the employee s remaining punches for that day. If this occurs, the employee s manager will need to override the existing punches so they will automatically move to the correct areas of the timecard. Example On Monday, an employee forgot to punch in at the beginning of the shift. Although the employee did punch in and out for the rest of the day, the punches are not in the correct columns. Steps 1. Right-click in the cell containing the 12pm (out for lunch) punch. 2. Select Edit Punch. 3. Select Out Punch from the Override drop-down menu. 40

4. Click OK. 5. Repeating steps 3-4, override the 1pm punch to an In Punch and the 5pm punch to an Out Punch. 6. Click Save. 7. Click in the cell where the solid red box is located. 8. Enter the employee s start time. 9. Click Save. 10. Right-click in the 8am cell. 41

11. Click Add Comment. 12. Select one or more comments and write a customized note. 13. Click OK. 14. Click Save. 42

Marking/Unmarking Exceptions as Reviewed Once you have reviewed an exception and resolved it to your satisfaction, you can mark the exception as having already been reviewed. Once the exception is marked as reviewed, a green border will appear in the cell containing the exception. Additionally, at any time you can choose to unmark an exception as reviewed. Example On Tuesday, an employee (with prior pre-approval from his manager) arrived to work 30 minutes early and left 30 minutes earlier than scheduled. Steps 1. Right-click in the cell where the Early In punch is located. 2. Click Mark as Reviewed. 3. Right-click in the cell where the Early Out punch is located. 4. Click Mark as Reviewed (cell border turns green). 43

5. Enter both a comment and a customized note in either of the cells. 6. Click Save. Note: To switch back to a not reviewed status, right-click in the cell and select Unmark as Reviewed. (For example, after marking as reviewed, you decide you want more time to think about the situation and turn the cell s border red as a flag/alert to return to this area before approving the timecard for payroll.) Paying Overtime Do not alter an employee s timecard to avoid paying overtime. In compliance with City Policy, 4-21, Overtime Policy and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employees designated non-exempt are eligible to receive overtime pay for time worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek at the rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay. This is regardless if the overtime was approved or unapproved by the employee s manager. Note: Overtime is calculated on a weekly basis, not daily. Therefore, overtime does not apply/begin to calculate until a non-exempt employee has worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek. TIPs Remind non-exempt employees that overtime worked without prior authorization from a supervisor may result in disciplinary action. 44

Pay Approved Overtime Example: At the manager s direction, an employee punched in on Monday at 7:00am instead of 8:00am and earned one hour of overtime for the week. The overtime will be paid to the employee. Steps 1. Click the day where the overtime was earned. 2. Click Approvals. 3. Click Approve Overtime. 4. Verify the amount of overtime displays in the Unapproved Overtime Amount (hh:mm) field. o Does the overtime display in the Unapproved Overtime Amount (hh:mm) field? o No; click the Overtime Date drop-down arrow. 45

Change the Overtime Date to either Friday or Saturday of that week. (The date depends on when the employee worked in excess of 40 hours for that workweek.) o Yes; click an Amount and enter Amount (hh:mm). All None Some Amount Options Definition Approves all overtime hours entered into the Amount (hh:mm) field. Approves 0 overtime hours entered into the Amount (hh:mm) field. Approves only the amount of overtime entered into the Amount (hh:mm) field. Amount (hh:mm) Stays grayed out; no need to enter hours. Stays grayed out; no need to enter hours. Enter hours. 5.

Enter both a comment and a customized note explaining the employee was approved to punch in early and the overtime was approved. 11. Click OK to close the Comments box. 12. Click Save. Note: In the Totals & Schedules tab, the EPrem_OT pay code now displays (was EPrem-OT_Unapproved before the approval.) 47

Pay Unapproved Overtime Example: Without your authorization, an employee punched in on Monday at 7:00am instead of 8:00am and earned one hour of overtime for the week. The overtime will be paid to the employee. Steps 1. Right-click in the cell containing the exception. 2. Click Marked as Reviewed. 3. Right-click in the cell containing the exception. 4. Click Add Comment. 5. Add both a comment and a customized note explaining the employee punched in too early without authorization. In addition, add to the customized note the date the manager provided the employee constructive feedback not to work overtime without authorization. 6. Click Save.

Note: In the Totals & Schedules tab, the amount of hours moved to comp time reflects displays in the ECmp_Time_Earned pay code. Do not go back and approve the overtime. 55

Adding Pay Code Amounts to Timecards Pay codes keep track of the type of worked and non-worked time that is entered in the timecard. Examples of pay codes include: Holiday, Overtime, Sick, Annual Leave, Call Back, etc. It is important that hours are tracked to the correct pay code so that the employee is paid correctly. There are times when you might have to edit an employee s timecard and use a pay code to track his or her worked or non-worked time; for example, when an employee is ill and unable to work the last day of the pay period and unable to submit a request for time off before the pay period closes. Acceptable formats for entering pay code amounts Acceptable format Example Interpretation by Kronos Leading zeros (optional) 07 7:00 hours 08:30 8:30 hours Colon 7:30 7:30 hours Decimal 8.5 8:30 hours Note: If you enter an amount without a colon Kronos interprets your entry as is, which may be a much larger amount than you meant. For example, if you enter 730 (without the colon), Kronos interprets that as 730 hours. Full Schedule Day/ Half Schedule Day full sched day/half sched day in the Amount field Employees receive hours based on their schedule assignments for that day 56

Adding a Pay Code for a Full Day Example On the last day of the pay period, an employee (who works Monday-Friday) called in sick, and is unable to request sick leave via the terminal (or Time STAMP). The employee s manager will need to manually enter the Sick pay code and amounts (hours). Steps 1. Click in the Friday Pay Code cell. 2. Select the pay code from the list. 3. Press the Tab key on your keyboard one time to move to the Amount cell. 4. Enter the correct amount of hours. Note: Double-check to ensure the correct hours show in the Daily column. 57

5. Right-click in the Amount cell. 6. Enter both a comment and customized note explaining the adding of the pay code and hours. 7. Click OK to close the comments box. 8. Click Save. Adding a Pay Code for a Day with Existing Punches Example On the last day of the pay period, an employee (who works Monday-Friday) arrived to work at 8:00 A.M. At 10:00 A.M., the employee became ill and informed her manager she needed to leave work for the rest of the day. Respecting that the employee did not feel well, the manager allowed the employee to leave immediately without asking the employee to punch out and submit a request for time off. Steps 1. Enter the time the employee left in the Out cell. 58

2. Click Add Row. 3. On the 2 nd Friday row, enter the Pay Code and Amount. 4. Click Save. 5. Right-click in the out punch cell and enter both a comment and customized note. 6. Right-click in the out punch cell and click Mark as Reviewed (see Marking/Unmarking Exceptions as Reviewed section of this manual). 7. Click Save. 59

Approving Time Off Requests Employees will submit time-off requests using one of the following methods: Employee Group Employees punching in/out at Terminals Employees with web access entry PBA (Police) and IAFF (Fire) represented employees Telestaff Method to Request Time Off Terminal Using a computer Telestaff Example An employee submits a request for eight hours of Annual Leave on a day when she is scheduled to work. You review the Time Off Request and determine the employee has enough Annual Leave hours accrued, so you approve the request. Steps 1. Received an email in Lotus Notes indicating an employee has requested time off. Note: If an employee logs into the terminal and enters multiple requests, the start and end dates may not always be consecutive days and the request could contain multiple pay codes. More information to help is provided in step 5. 2. Log into Kronos. 99

3. Locate the request by either of the following methods: a. Request Alert 1) Click the Request alert. 2) Click Time-Off. b. Manage My Request Widget 1) Click the Manage My Request widget. 100

Note: The manager will only see requested dates off within a six-month period of time (from today and six months into the future.) Therefore, if a request for time off (or part of a request) is greater than six months, those dates will not display in the Edit view. This is why it is important to use Details to view all the dates associated with this request. 7. Scroll down to review the accrual balance(s) associated with the request. 103

8. Click the Status drop-down menu. 9. Click an option. Status Option Submitted Pending Information Automatically displays when an employee submits a request.

Retracted Cancel all dates associated with the request. Example: Employee changed his/her mind and wants the manager to cancel the request. Refused Deny all dates associated with the request. Examples: Department is unable to spare the employee. Employee does not have enough accrued time. 104

10. (Optional) Click the Comments drop-down menu to select a comment and type a note in the Notes field. 11. Click the Edit tab to save. Note: Once the request is approved or refused, the employee will be able to view the confirmation in the My Messages app at the terminal and/or by email. 105

Managing Family Medical Leave (FMLA) 1.) Employee requests FML to HR as per FML policy. 2.) Department and employee s manager will be advised of approval/denial by the Human Resources FML Coordinator. 3.) FML Coordinator sets up leave case in Kronos. 4.) Manager enters FML time (continuous or intermittent) in the employee s timecard. **Paid time automatically cascades from one leave type to another, based on the time available for each employee, per the Leave Administration Policy.** Remind your employees not to request sick time at the terminal for anything Family Medical Leave related. Managers shall Refuse these requests instead of approving them. If the manager mistakenly approves a request, the employee will need to cancel the request at the terminal. Sick Leave-Not Related to FML 1.) Employee in need of sick time for illness/injury not related to FML, requests time sick time at terminal, for the number of hours needed, both hourly and salary employees. 2.) FML & Sick Time - If an employee had time off for FML and a sick request not related to FML in the same day, the same process would apply. Hours for non-fml sick would be requested at the terminal, FML hours would be managed by their manager. 3.) Managers would approve these requests as described in the Approving Time Off Requests section of this manual. Entering an Employee s FML Leave (Continuous or Intermittent) An employee should notify their manager they need to take time off associated with an Open Leave case. The employee should not discuss any specific health-related information; nor shall the manager ask any health-related questions. Example Mr. Jones, I have an appointment on 7/7/2014. It is for a leave case I had opened and I ll be gone 8 hours. Next, the manager will enter the leave in Kronos. 106

Steps 1. Using the Reconcile Timecard widget, open the employee s timecard. 2. Click Leave. 3. Click Edit. 4. Enter the needed hours on the correct date/line. 107

5. Click Save & Close. Note: Kronos will calculate the Leave takings and apply the pay code in the correct amounts. The manager may need to refresh the timecard to see the edits. Timecard examples: The employee had ample Sick Leave hours in the accrual balance. Therefore, Kronos automatically deducted the 8 hours out of employee s Sick Leave accrual balance. The employee did not have ample Sick or Vacation hours in the accrual balances. Therefore, Kronos automatically cascaded the 8 hours starting with the employee s Sick Leave 108

Delegation of Authority Note: It is a violation of City Policy 1-28, Computer Policy to share User IDs or passwords.
