Kronos is Changing

Changes are coming to the County’s employee timekeeping system. For one, what most have been referring to as Kronos switched a while back to UKG, for Ultimate Kronos Group. We’re going to start calling it UKG.   

UKG is getting an upgrade that is scheduled to go live on May 10. Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming changes and a planned system outage: 

Signing On and Look 

UKG uses a single sign-on that means if you’re already signed into a County system, like InSite, you will no longer need to enter your username and password.

Once in UKG, it will look similar to Kronos. The most significant change is a navigator view where the menus/widgets are now displayed on the right-hand side of the page.  

New Website Address  

Effective May 10, UKG will have its own link, different from Kronos. You’ll be able to get to it from Top Links menu on the InSite home page as “Employee Timecard” and not “Kronos/Employee Timecard.”  

If you currently get to Kronos from a shortcut or saved link in your Favorites list/bar, you will need to update that link.  

UKG Mobile App Update 

If you use the UKG app to review and approve your timecard, you’ll need to update the Server URL under the UKG Workforce Central Settings on or after May 10.  Further instructions will be posted on Kronos Korner on May 10. 

Planned Outage 

During the upgrade, the system will go down Friday, May 6 at 9 p.m. then be available the morning of Tuesday, May 10. 

UKG Training 

UKG training is available in Learning Management System (LMS). The training will be in “Assigned Training” or “Current Training” sections of your “My Learning” page. In addition, there’s a Frequently Asked Questions document.
