If you have specific questions regarding the your property’s community clean up, please contact your supervisor. Happy Spring Everyone!

Kronos Entries

Employees:

Please be sure that you are entering your time worked into Kronos on a regular and consistent basis.  This is an essential record keeping responsibility that must be given greater priority in your day-to-day activity.

You should enter your time into Kronos at the beginning of your day, when you leave for meal break, return from your meal break and when you leave for the day.   By developing this habit, the idea of tracking time should become almost second nature both for you and for each of your fellow employees at your site.

Inaccurate reporting — or delayed reporting, results in payroll processing errors and a burdensome reliance on memories of events which occurred often several days in the past.

Please acknowledge this important record keeping requirement by committing to on-going, timely and accurate reporting of all hours worked.
