News Facts
- Hawthorn selected the time and attendance solution featuring the next generation user interface from Kronos. The solution will be used by 1,800 employees across 35 locations. Based on technology that harnesses the ease of use and intuitiveness of consumer-oriented technologies, the next generation user interface appealed to Hawthorn users.
- The Kronos system will replace Hawthorn's previous timekeeping tool, which lacked the scalability and advancements required to match the organization’s growth objectives. The biggest drivers of the Kronos selection were complete automation and real-time reporting capabilities leading to superior analysis of data. With Kronos, Hawthorn can analyze data across different locations for improved bottom-line results.
- Additionally, Kronos will help Hawthorn avoid penalties associated with non compliance with various federal, state, and union labor law regulations. For example, the state of California has complex labor laws around meal and rest breaks and Kronos can automate those adjustments in pay rules. Also with Kronos, Hawthorn can provide accurate labor-related information if audited by the Department of Labor.
