The Payroll Office would like to make you aware of a Kronos upgrade taking place this summer.

We are upgrading Kronos, our timekeeping system, from version 5.2 to version 6.3. Ultimately, this upgrade will result in a more efficient system and improved customer experience. Additionally, the upgrade will correct the Java compatibility issues and challenges we currently face on Kronos version 5.2.

We anticipate only a small period of downtime, two to three days, as we transition from our current version to the upgraded system. The transition will take place the last week of July; the Payroll Office will provide continued communication and updates as we proceed through the upgrade.

The core functionality of our system will remain virtually the same; however with the upgrade, Kronos will offer enhanced features, plus a new look and feel that should be a welcome change to our users. The upgrade will also allow us the capability to incorporate additional tools and features in the near future, as determined by customer need and experience.

We look forward to sharing additional information and training resources with you in the upcoming weeks. If you have questions or concerns regarding the upgrade, please email Kimberly Hogan at Kimberly.hogan@pepperdine.edu.
