General Announcements


Augsburg is Moving to a New Web Time Entry System

Everyone is invited to several information sessions / Q&A about our upcoming move to a new web time entry system. Starting May 25 everyone using the current time entry system will start using the new time entry system. All staff, faculty supervisors of students or staff, and student employees will begin using the new system starting May 25.

Both systems are from the same company, Kronos, but the new system has many improvements. Including:

- no Java except for what is in your coffee mug
- easy time entry for students with multiple jobs
- supervisors able to view time worked by student workers in all jobs
- up to the minute benefit accrual time information on the main screen showing time taken, available and requested
- easier reporting options for supervisors

The new time entry system will be the place where the benefit accrual time will be calculated each pay period for the benefit-eligible employees. It will be the main keeper of the benefit accruals.

We have been testing the system over the last few months and have received great feedback from our pilot group which included staff and students.

We have scheduled the following sessions to show what the system looks like and to answer questions. The first 45 minutes focuses on employee time entry and the last 15 minutes focuses on supervisor approval and reporting. You are welcome to stay for all of the time.

Thursday May 8, 5pm - 6pm Cedar room

Hands-on training sessions will begin May 12. These will be open labs. Come when you want and leave when you want.
