CHELMSFORD, Mass., Jan. 20, 2009 — Kronos® Incorporated today announced that the Guild for Exceptional Children in Brooklyn, NY is live on Kronos for time and attendance, HR, and payroll. The Guild for Exceptional Children is a non-profit organization that provides support services to children and adults with disabilities.
News Facts
- The Guild for Exceptional Children had been using ADP for payroll, but wanted to avoid paying a monthly subscription fee and have access to information in real time, so that smarter labor management decisions could be made. The Guild expects to save more than $200,000 per year because of the switch to Kronos.
- Employees at the Guild for Exceptional Children often perform multiple jobs in the same pay period. With Kronos, it is easy to keep track of position management and ensure that payment is applied correctly.
- In an organization where unions play a critical role, Kronos provides the Guild for Exceptional Children with a reliable and automated way to track time worked to ensure proper record-keeping and minimize compliance risk.
- Before it started using Kronos, the Guild for Exceptional Children had a totally manual, paper-based timekeeping system. Employees often had multiple time sheets from each of its 19 locations and there was no centralized way to keep track of hours. Now all timekeeping is centralized and managers have access to all of the information in real time so they can track hours and offer additional shifts only to those employees who are not at risk of incurring overtime.
