29.”Employee Borrowing” When building a schedule and assigning employees to a position, there is an option in the Schedule Assistant called “Borrow.” This option provides a list of employees that the user  can chose from when assigning employees to the schedule.

30.Weekly Coverage Report – Provides a summary view of the positions  and coverage needed in the schedule. 30.Weekly Schedules by Position Report – listed by position, coverage,  and employees that are assigned. 30.Weekly Schedules by Employee – listed by employee and assignments.  Schedules “Copy” option modified to allow the user to specify that      schedule assignments should be copied in addition to the Schedule Planner information. Schedule Maintenance – A new “Select Employees Using Employee     Number or Badge Number” flag was added that specifies whether the user will be entering badge number or employee number when filling out the schedule assignment screen. Skill and Certification Maintenance Programs relocated to the Setup     Maintenance menu. The location information configured within Schedule Maintenance     (Labor Level Codes and descriptions) has been added to the Scheduler Planner screen. The Schedule Assistant screen was modified to exclude employees who     are not authorized to work at the location (labor levels) specified in the schedule or position within the schedule.

A Scheduler Reports menu option was added that includes the Schedule     Coverage Report, Schedules by Position, and Schedules by Employee, Schedule Signup Report, Schedule Template Planner Report, and the Schedule Rules Violations Report. New Violation for Leave Added to the Schedule Rule Template    

Terminal Entry Module 4 4.1 5 5.1 5.2 6 6.1 6.2 Add pay code entry to time card entry screen  Comment Entry on the add hours screen  Setting and values for Terminal Entry moved from company settings to self-service profiles under utilities and securities.  New Time off Request Option Available Within Terminal Entry  It is now possible to enable a function key that will allow employees to user the Time off Request function from within the Terminal Entry application. In the previous version employees would have had to been   granted access to the self service menu option within Timekeeper for Time off Request functionality. New Controls on Employee Clock In and Transfers – Controls are now  available to restrict and control access to labor level, pay code, and comment fields when an employee is clocking in or performing a   transfer within Terminal Entry. Terminal Entry Restriction Profiles have been moved to the base  application where the restriction profiles can be used in other areas of   the application.

Kronos iSeries Gaming 4 4.1 5 5.1 5.2 6 6.1 6.2 Kronos iSeries Tips Module Renamed Kronos iSeries Gaming Module     The functionality of the new Gaming module has been significantly increased to better handle various gaming requirements including the  handling of tips, toke pools, special events, certifications, messaging and meal/break reporting. 31.New Labor Level Settings to Support Kronos iSeries Gaming Module      New 4500 Communications Library Created for TimeWorks Gaming     Application Labor Level Combinations –The user interface for options involving   labor level combinations has been enhanced for increased usability and flexibility. Labor level combinations can now easily and quickly be defined and maintained through flexible default values, intuitive data layouts, and on-going summary views of defined combinations. Areas in the application that are affected include Daily Processing > Multi-Level   Rate Maintenance, Gaming > Tip Compliance Rate Maintenance, Gaming > Toke Pool Assignments, Setup Maintenance > Shift Assignments and Utilities and Security > Labor Level Set Profile Maintenance A new option “Shift Assignments” was added to “Setup Maintenance”.   The “Shift Assignments allows the use to configure the application so that the shift code value retrieved for a time record during the totalization process can now be by labor level combinations, and the resulting shift code value is stored on any resulting monetary adjustment   records. This allows for a single time record that overlaps multiple shifts, to produce multiple monetary adjustment records, one for each shift that was overlapped.

  The Toke Pool options have been combined into one menu option for usability. New security options have been created to control access to   functionality within the Toke Pool Maintenance/Processing option to allow for different job responsibilities.   Committee member amounts can either be entered directly to employees who are on the committee, or they can also be entered to a non-employee   committee amount which also would reduce the total allocated to the employees when processing tokes. The toke pool screen was changed to show the gross and net amounts due to the committee portion. New security flags were added to control whether a user has the   authority within the Time Editor to cancel toke pool assignments and/or   use the new Manual Posting option. Adjustment amounts to a toke pool in the form of direct monetary   amounts, or amounts of time to be included in the distribution calculation, can now be entered for a toke pool. Additionally, the adjustments may be labeled with a user-defined adjustment reason code   to identify the nature of the adjustment. The toke pool screen was changed to show the gross and net amounts due to the toke pool adjustments. When defining a toke pool in the Toke Pool Maintenance/Processing   option, you can now specify 1/10th hour rounding for a toke pool. This th allows the system to round partial amounts of time to the nearest 1/10   hour amount when allocating an employee’s time for the toke pool 2 distribution calculations. Previously, rounding was available to the nearest hour amount. When defining a toke pool in the Toke Pool Maintenance/Processing   option, you can now specify “Even” as the method for toke pool distribution. This allows the system to override all other allocation   settings when calculating the toke pool distributions and give all participating employees equal amounts of the pool. A new percentage field has been added to the Toke Pool Assignments   option to allow you to configure a percentage to be applied to an employee’s time that would be included in a toke pool. Previously, the inclusion of time in a toke pool was based solely upon the designated labor level combination, and assumed to be 100%. Now, in addition to   the labor level combination, you are able to designate what percentage of the qualifying time would be included in the toke pool distribution calculation. When defining a toke pool in the Toke Pool Maintenance/Processing   option, you can now specify whether once the monetary adjustment amount has been calculated, remove the fractional amount to create whole value. The fractional amounts will be accumulated and optionally carried forward into the next period’s toke pool depending on the setting   of the Carry Forward field. Example: $258.32 would adjust to $258.00, and the 0.32 could be simply noted on the processing report, or automatically carried forward to the next toke pool. New Hours Adjustment Field Added to Toke Pool Summary Display. If   a toke pool has any hours adjustments, the total of those adjustments are now shown on the Toke Pool summary display. Previously, you had to   display the details for the toke pool to see any hour adjustments.

New Rounding Methods Added for Toke Pool Processing   The rounding method for toke pool processing that supports rounding to partial portions of the hour has been expanded to support ¼ hour and ½   hour rounding. Previously, this method only supported 1/10 hour rounding. Rounding Parameters Added to Toke Pool Assignment Option   It is now possible to specify a rounding method and round point for toke pool assignment definitions that will override these same parameters defined for the toke pool in the “Toke Pool Maintenance/Processing”   option. This allows different groups of employees to participate in the same toke pool, but have their time rounded differently. New Toke Pool Report Option It is now possible to produce a report of   the toke pool distribution information for selected toke pools. Previously,   this information was only available from the report produced by the “Toke Pool Processing” – “Process” option. New Optional Time Extract Option There is now an option for Kronos   iSeries Central that is the equivalent of the Timeworks Extract option 43. This option allows you to build a file of employees’ time information   named CKEXPTIM that can be exported for further reporting and analysis. New Security Profile to Control Access to Toke Pools A new security   profile has been added to allow you to control which toke pools the user   can access. This is done by creating the new profile and assigning the profile in the user’s “User Profile”. A new “optional” designation has been added to the Skills /Certifications   processing to allow you to define job codes as having a minimum number of optional Skills or Certifications. Previously, Skills and   Certifications were either required for a job code or not. This new feature allows you to designate multiple Skills and Certifications for a job code, as minimally required. New Function to Allow Tip Canceling for Tip Compliance Employees in   Time Editor Option A new feature has been added in “User Profile” option to allow the user to control delete all tips (monetary adjustments)   associated with a tip compliance employee’s time record, without having to have access to the “Monetary Adjustment” option. New Gaming Clock Parameter for Automatic Disabling of the Clock   A new parameter has been added to the “Time Clock Maintenance” option to control the availability of the clock during periods of inactivity. You may now specify the number of minutes after which if there is no punch activity at the clock, the system will set the clock’s Clock Enabled/Disabled status to “D” for “disabled.” Once the clock’s Clock   Enabled/Disabled status is set to “D” for “disabled,” to accept punch activity once again, the status must be set to “E” for “enabled” either using the Time Clock Maintenance option, or by performing the :Clock Enable transaction at the clock. New Hours Totals for Wage Analysis Report The Wage Analysis report   now includes a total of the employees’ hours. Previously, the report only   included the total gross monetary wages for each employee. New Toke Pool Processing Parameters – In addition to being able to   exclude an employee from toke distribution calculations, it is now possible to control what rates are used in the calculation. You may designate in the “People Editor” that the employee’s home job rate,   worked job rate, or the greater of the home or worked job rate, be applied in the toke distribution calculation.

New Toke Pool – Employee Report – There is now a report of toke pool   information which is sorted by employee, rather than the toke pool. This   report provides an “employee perspective” of what toke pools they have been a part. Job Code Certification Requirements Now Enforced in the Time Editor –   In previous versions of the application, only Smartview transactions enforced certification requirements for job codes, now when you attempt to charge time to a job code that requires a certification and the employee’s certification is expired, the Time Editor will prevent you   from completing the edit. A new parameter has been added to the User Profiles option in Security to allow the user to override the message about a Gaming employee’s expired certification and complete the edit to charge the time to Job Code. New Parameter for Shift to Control Rate Retrieval – It is now possible to   have the system use the date of a worked shift’s out-punch, rather than   the in-punch, to determine which rate will be applied to the shift. When defining a toke pool in the “Toke Pool Maintenance/Processing”   option, you can now specify whether time for terminated employees will be included in the distribution calculations. Previously, terminated   employees were automatically excluded from the calculations. Secondary Toke Pool Assignment - A second Toke Pool in the Toke  Pool Assignments function to allow time worked to be assigned to two    Toke Pools rather than just one in previous versions.

    Kronos iSeries Leave 4 4.1 5 5.1 5.2 6 6.1 6.2 The new Kronos iSeries Leave has been added to the Kronos iSeries     Central suite offering as an ancillary. The Leave module includes FMLA  tracking, multiple leave requests, document generation, and email notifications, etc. Language Localization Folders for Documents - When processing Leave     documents, the system is now sensitive to the Language code of the user  and the recipient, and retrieves the document from the appropriate language folders in the IFS.

Previously, the employee leave request was limited to Kronos iSeries Terminal Entry users.  New Time field is available on the “Add Hours” entry – it is now      possible to designate a time for an hours transaction entered from the Add Hours entry option. Previously, hours transactions defaulted to   midnight.  Employee Profile Parameter - Controls the ability to create time from a     previous pay period or current schedule therefore forcing the employee    to fill in their time card.          Kronos iSeries Manager 4 4.1 5 5.1 5.2 6 6.1 6.2 32. HTML based iSeries Manager Client (Service Pack 2)  All Kronos iSeries Central base program changes have been included in    the Kronos iSeries Manager module. These include changes to the Time  Editor, Genies, Scheduling, and reports. Schedule File Maintenance screens are now available for    manager/supervisors to build and maintain base schedules (standard,  primary, and generic) using the Kronos iSeries Manager module.

All Kronos iSeries Scheduler module functions are now available to    managers using the Kronos iSeries Manager Module. The customer  would only have access to these functions if they were licensed to use the Kronos iSeries Scheduler. The sign on screen for Kronos iSeries Manager was changed to use the    new settings in Company File Maintenance for the password/PIN  expiration interval and minimum and maximum password/PIN lengths. New Function –Sensitive Help for Web Access (Service Pack 4)     Web Access Session Monitor - It is now possible to log information   regarding users accessing Kronos iSeries Central via the Web Access interface. The new monitor tools allow for the collection and viewing of   usage data by users for all database companies use for Kronos iSeries Central. Web Access – Context-Sensitive “Help” - The “Help” option within web   access has been enhanced so that it is sensitive to where the cursor is positioned to on the page. Now if the user is in a particular input field and clicks on the “Help” function the documents will automatically open to the topic within in the function document that addresses that input   field. Previously, the documents were only opened to the function document and the user had to search for the topic pertaining to the input field. “My Favorites” in Web Access now include Background Job   Submission- An option for submitting background jobs is now included  in Kronos iSeries Manager within the “My Favorites” tab. Before users    would only have access to background job submission through green  screen access.

Appendix

Detailed description of listed features

This appendix provides more information on the features noted in this document that required a greater level of detail. Each feature heading below links back to the corresponding feature within the table above:

1. Cumulative Source Code Installation The source code installation has been modified to have cumulative source from service packs go into one location, thus eliminating the search through source libraries for latest source program. All source code will now go into the library KTSRCV51 and as each successive service pack is loaded, the source would replace the prior version.

2. Archive/Test/Production Library Designations Users can now designate archive, test, and production libraries on one IBM iSeries Server when converting from previous versions. Archive and Test libraries will not impact the Kronos iSeries licensing.

3. Date Format Routines Modified to Improve System Performance The Clock Date Format (CLKDATFMT) program has been modified to eliminate redundant calls and to alleviate processing overhead. The modification will help improve overall system load for systems that are near processing capacity. The date conversion routines are all behind-the-scenes processes. The main modification will allow the date routines to be included within each compiled object at compile time, eliminating the need for the program call during execution.

4. New Modular Licensing by Employee Count The Kronos iSeries Central application can now be licensed by module. Previously, the employee count for Kronos iSeries Central had to be consistent across the suite. The suite licensing structure has been collapsed and now each module can individually be licensed for different employee counts. The application now controls the licensing for the individual modules within the new People Editor licensing screen. Kronos now requires that each employee be licensed for the individual modules, and the system will monitor when the employee count has exceeded the purchased licenses.

5. Inherited Model for Object Authority The requirements for system authority have changed for the Kronos iSeries Central application. Kronos iSeries Central V5.2 utilizes an inherited model for object authority. All programs and database objects will be owned by the user “kronosownr” and public use will be set to *exclude. Users will be assigned to a new user group called “kronosgrup” which will be given *use authority to program objects. The program objects will all be compiled with the option to adopt authority from the object’s owner, allowing the programs to have full access to the database objects. Using this new model, customer no longer is required to grant “All Object Authority” to the Kronos program and database objects.

6. People Editor Maintenance Screens The design of the People Editor has been enhanced so that from the main screen of the People Editor the user can navigate to the appropriate detail screen. Some of the screen choices are based on which modules the employee has been licensed for. Detail screens include the following:

 General Information - general details such as address, hire date, birth date, etc.

 Rules - pay rules.

 Location/Access - labor level assignments and authority profiles.

 Scheduler - schedule codes and details. If you own Kronos iSeries Scheduler module and the employee is licensed to use the Scheduler module fields will be available to assign an availability profile and schedule rule profile.

 Device Assignment - terminals an employee is assigned to as well as restriction profiles.

 Additional Information - interactive voice response settings.

 Licensing - lists all the modules that an organization is licensed to use and allows the user to mark employee to count toward the module licenses. What an employee is licensed to will determine what options are available on the first screen of the People Editor.

 Access - available if the customer owns the Kronos iSeries Access module and the employee is licensed to use the module. The Access option is where the user will assign the access schedule code; roll schedule detail, and restriction profile.

 Accruals - available if the customer owns the Kronos iSeries Accrual module and if the employee is licensed to use the module. The Accruals option takes the user directly to the Accruals maintenance screen for assigning accrual profiles.

 Activities - available if the customer owns the Kronos iSeries Activities module and if the employee is licensed to use the module. The Activities option will allow the user to assign the employees activity status and defaults.

 Attendance - available if the customer owns the Kronos iSeries Attendance module and the employee is licensed to use the module. The Attendance option is where an Attendance Profile is assigned.

 Debit - available if the customer owns the Kronos iSeries Debit module and the employee is licensed to use the module. The Debit option is where the employee can be assigned to a debit limit, split profile, and the number of splits the employee allowed.

 Employee/Terminal Entry - available if the customer owns the Kronos iSeries Employee and/or Terminal Entry modules. The Employee/Terminal Entry option allows the user to set the employee password, self-service profile, and restrictions.

 Skills & Certifications - available if the customer owns the Kronos iSeries Scheduler module and the employee is licensed to use the module. The employee can then be assigned to a specific skill and or skills and certification information can then be attached if required.

7. Pay Rule Building Blocks Several new maintenance programs (building blocks) have been added to define each specific set of pay rules that currently make up both daily and pay period rules. This allows for a particular set of rules to be set up once and reused over several daily and pay period rule profiles. Another new maintenance function was created that will allow the customer to piece together the various building block rules to create the daily and pay period rule sets.

By separating the various rules into building blocks, the same building blocks can be used for multiple daily and pay period rule sets. A change that is made to a building block rule (such as a rounding rule change) would then automatically apply to any daily rule that uses that building block.

8. Holiday Rules Profile A new Holiday Rules Profile maintenance function was added to allow a user to enter pre-defined holiday rule sets. These rules will be similar to those currently found in the “mass entry” function in iSeries Central. The current “holiday prorate” rules found in the pay code file setup will also be moved to the Holiday Rules Profile. The Employee Maintenance function was modified to allow each employee to be (optionally) assigned to a holiday profile. The profile the employee is assigned to will determine the rules for paying the employee benefit time for the holiday. A new table of holiday dates has been created to allow the user to define which dates are considered holidays for the current and future years. A new background processor job (see section 3.5) will monitor the holiday dates and automatically generate the holiday pay for each employee assigned to a holiday profile.

9. Values have been added to Company maintenance The following values have been added to Company maintenance for Terminal Entry. These values control whether the functions are available for use in the new Self-Service Profiles. The items designated “new control for 5.1” are items that were previously available, but are now controllable in the Self-Service profiles – those options:

 Enable Change Password Option – new control for 5.1  Enable Add Hours Option  Enable Cancel Meal Option  Enable Transfer Option  Enable Accruals Inquiry Option – new control for 5.1  Enable Employee Inquiry Option – new control for 5.1  Enable Monetary Adjustment Option – new for 5.1

10. Retain Labor Level Transfer Data on Meal/Break Punch In Company maintenance a new flag that controls how the system handles labor level data on time records when punches are processed from a device or the Terminal Entry module was added. This flag does NOT impact manual edits performed in the Time Editor option. If an employee performs a transfer and then punches out for a meal or break, you have the option of what labor levels are applied to the time record that's created when they punch in from the meal or break. Enter "Y" to have the previous "transferred" labor level values applied to the next time record after the meal/break; enter "N" to have the employee's default labor level values applied to the next time record after the meal/break.

11. Pay Rules – Building Blocks Two new exceptions have been added for control in The Pay Period Rule Exception Block – Unauthorized Labor Level and Unauthorized Pay Code. These two exceptions will be produced if an employee is assigned to one of the new Labor Level Profiles or Pay Code Profiles (see New User & Profiles Menu Option in the Security & User Profiles section of this document) and a user has manually overridden a profile setting for that employee.

12. Various Company Maintenance Settings Moved to New User Profiles Maintenance in Utilities and Security Time Editor Settings previously in Company Maintenance are now available in the User Profiles, formerly known as Security User Profile Maintenance. Moving the settings will allow them to be set by user rather than globally. The following are now included in User Profiles:

 Access to Clock Out Date - allow access to the Clock-Out Date field in the Time Editor.  Display Schedule When Absent - controls if an employee’s schedule hours display in the Time Editor when they do not have a time record for that day.  Default Rounded /Actual Time - controls the default of rounded or actual time when accessing the Time Editor.

13. New Access Controls for Kronos iSeries (HTML) Manager Module add to Company Maintenance A new section for the Kronos iSeries Manager module has been added to Company Maintenance. The Manager section provides settings for the minimum/maximum lengths and expiration information for the managers’ personal pin. The Kronos iSeries Manager timeout value is also included where the user can enter the number of minutes from 5 to 60 that the Kronos iSeries Manager Module session will remain active with no activity.

14. Apply Tip Compliance Rate to Pay Code Hours A new flag has been added to pay code definitions in Pay Code maintenance for the new optional Kronos iSeries Gaming module. The new “Apply Tip Compliance Rate to Pay Code Hours” flag when set to a “Y” retrieves and applies rates from the Tip Compliance Rate table for the hours designated for this pay code.

15. Certifications Maintenance Moved to Setup and Maintenance The Certification Maintenance program has been added to the Setup and Maintenance menu and removed from the Kronos iSeries Scheduler menu. Previously, certifications applied only to the Kronos iSeries Scheduler module, but now they are also used by the new Kronos iSeries Gaming module. Employee Certifications are specified in the People Editor and are only available if the employee is licensed for the Kronos iSeries Scheduler or Kronos iSeries Gaming module.

16. Full Screen Editor The Full Screen Editor has been renamed Time Editor. The Time Editor Selection screen has been modified to allow for the selection of all seven-labor levels instead of just three. In addition, a combination of levels may be selected for filtering of employees rather than just a single level.

 Display changes have been made to the Punch Summary Screen. Day of the week text has been reduced to two characters to accommodate a new notes field. Notes will contain A=Automatic Meal Deduction, M=Meal or B=Break, $=Dollar Adjustments, C=Comments and F=Forced Overtime. Additionally, multiple labor levels may be displayed based on a setting in the User Profile configuration – the user still has the ability to roll through individual labor levels.

 A new user profile flag has been added to specify whether a user is restricted from approving punches at the employee level within the Time Editor.

 A new user profile flag has been added to optionally display an additional total at the bottom of the Time Editor screen. This total will be a sum of the pay code breakdown rather than a total of the elapsed times for each punch

 A new user profile flag has been added to control access to the employee number specified in the user profile. I (Include) specifies that the user may edit punches only for the employee number entered. E (Exclude) specifies that the user may edit punches for all employees (meeting other security entries) except for the employee number entered.

 A new user profile flag has been added to restrict a user from approving punches at the employee summary level.

 The dollar adjustments entry screen within the Time Editor will now show entries between the start date/time and the end date/time selected on the Editor selection screen rather than all entries for the pay period.

 The Time Editor’s Exception Selection Screen has two new questions – Show only Employees with Exceptions and Show only punches with exceptions. This will allow the user the ability to change which employees and which time records are shown when the Time Editor is in Exceptions Only mode.

 A new option has been added to the Time Editor. F23 will display a new screen, which shows the totals for different labor levels. The F11 key will allow the user to view the totals for each individual level or all levels configured in the user’s combination field in security file maintenance.

 There is a new adjustment total next to the breakdown total on the time editor screen. This will show the total of the monetary adjustments during the current pay period or the selected date range.

17. Purge Enhancement The Purge program has been revised to allow for individual selection of the various files to be purged. This will allow certain data to be purged such as punch history or audit trail records while keeping time history on the system. Dates can be selected individually for each of the files. An audit trail is generated each time the purge is run.

18. Audit Trails on All System Files Two new options are now available, Audit Activation and Audit Inquiry under the Utilities and Security menu option. The Audit Activation option controls what system files should be audited throughout the software. The user can now activate or deactivate an audit trail on virtually any and all database files within the application. The audit activation will track all additions, deletions, and/or changes being made to the activated file. The Audit Inquiry option provides a view of the audit trail, including information on the user ID, date/time, type of audit, and program. A filter on the audit is available so that the user can filter the audit information based on date, user, event, and program.

19. Test to Production Utility A utility to move objects from a test environment to a production environment is now available. Changes can be made in a test environment to daily rules, pay period rules, and pay codes. This utility will replace records in your production library with the changed records from your test environment.

20. Message Duration Setting and Employee Acknowledgement A new option has been added to the Terminal Messaging Maintenance program to specify whether the message should be displayed for the entire duration of the selected date range, or if it should not be displayed again after the employee acknowledges receipt of the message at the clock. The ability to acknowledge a message can be done at the 4500 terminal in Smart View mode.

21. Schedule Assistant In the Workload Planner when assigning employees to positions the user can access the Schedule Assistant. The Schedule Assistant provides a list of employees that are qualified and available to work the position. Within the Schedule Assistant the user will have access to eight user-defined columns that display information about the employees. The data may be filtered and sorted to display only certain employees in a desired order. The following data is available within the Schedule Assistant. All can be filtered and/or sorted:  Available – based on the employee’s availability profile.  Badge Number – the employee’s badge number.  Certified – will show if the employee has all of the required certifications  Employee Number – the employee’s id number.  Expected Hours - actual worked hours for the pay period added to scheduled hours anticipated.  Hire Date – the employee’s hire date.  Home Labor Levels 1-7 – the employee’s home labor level assignments.  Pay Rate – the employee’s pay rate.  Pay Type – the employee’s pay type.  Phone Number – the employee’s phone number.  Scheduled Hours – the number of hours the employee is scheduled for the week.  Seniority Date – the employee’s seniority date.

 Shift – the employee’s home shift.  Skill Level – a numerical value containing the relative skill level based on the skill ranking.  Status Code – the employee’s pay status.  Worked Hours – the number of hours the employee has worked this week that count toward overtime.

22. Schedule Rule Template A schedule rule template allows for the creation of various schedule rules that can be applied to specific employees or groups of employees. When building the schedule rules, the user can designate the severity of the rule once the violation has been met by indicating that system will “I” ignore the violation of the rule, “P” prevent the violation of the rule, or “W” warn the user of the violation of the rule. Schedule rules include the following:

 Minimum/maximum hours per day or week  Minimum/maximum days per week  Minimum/maximum shift length  Minimum time between shifts  Maximum consecutive days an employee can be scheduled  Availability violations  Employee scheduled for a labor level not authorized to work  Skills Violation  Certifications Violations  Employee is scheduled and has expired certification  Overlapping schedules

23. Schedule Rule Profile The schedule rule profile is assigned to employees in the People Editor and determines what schedule rules template applies to an employee when they are being assigned to a schedule. The Schedule Rule Profile also allows a user to attach an effective start and end date to handle seasonal rule changes.

24. Skills and Ranking In Kronos iSeries Scheduler, a Skills Maintenance menu option is available to define the types of skills needed for each position in your particular environment. The skills would then be available in the People Editor where each individual employee can be assigned a specific skill set. Once a skill set is defined at the employee level, a ranking can be assigned to show the level of skill the employee has with each assigned skill. When building a schedule with positions requiring a certain level of skill, only those employees who have the required skill set to fill the position will be available for the user to choose from.

25. Certifications and Expiration Dates A new certifications master has been added to define company wide certifications and to determine if an employee can be scheduled for a particular position. A new screen in the People Editor allows the user to specify which certifications a particular employee has. If the employee has certification, the screen will allow the input of a certification “as of” date and certification expiration date. The certification requirement and expiration date are checked and used during the employee assignment phase within the scheduler.

26. Availability Templates Availability templates allow a user to define specific days and times of day a certain employee or group is available to work. The template can be set to roll and the user can assign an effective date on which the template should start. The user

can designate seven various times of the day, and flag each time segment as “A” for available or “U” for unavailable. The Availability Template is assigned to an Availability Profile that is then set at the employee level in the People Editor.

27. Availability Profile The Availability Profile is where an Availability Template is assigned and effective dates are defined. The Availability Profile controls if an employee is available when a user is trying to schedule them in the Scheduler by position or employee using the Schedule Assistant. Employees are assigned to an Availability Profile in People Editor under Scheduler.

28. Schedule Rule Violation Inquiry Within the Scheduler, when assigning employees to positions, there is an option to view “Violations.” The violation inquiry lists the date, employee, the severity of the violation, and a description of the violation that occurred. Violations are identified through the schedule work rules attached to each individual employee.

29. Employee Borrowing When building a schedule and assigning employees to a position, there is an option in the Schedule Assistant called “Borrow.” This option provides a list of employees that the user can chose from when assigning employees to the schedule. There is a “Borrowing Labor Level Profile” within security that controls which employees the user can access to “borrow” for scheduling purposes. This is based on an employees’ labor level assignment in their employee master record.

30. Scheduler Reports Reports for the Kronos iSeries Scheduler are available within Schedule Maintenance. Options to run the report include sending to the printer or e-mail. There are three report choices:

 Weekly Coverage Report - Provides a summary view of the positions and coverage needed in the schedule.  Weekly Schedules by Position Report - listed by position, coverage, and employees that are assigned.  Weekly Schedules by Employee - listed by employee and assignments.

31. New Labor Level Settings to Support Kronos iSeries Gaming Module New settings have been added to the Labor Level Maintenance program to support new features in the Kronos iSeries Gaming module. The new settings only apply to the labor level specified on the Gaming Configuration screen. New settings include the tip method, maximum meals allowed, normal shift length, and early out exception limit.

32. HTML based iSeries Manager Client The new Kronos iSeries Manager application allows Kronos iSeries Central customers to slash server overhead and provide a supervisory “portal” to effectively manage their workforce. The new HTML-based Kronos iSeries Manager allows users to perform daily manager functions such as editing time records, running reports, and managing labor resources. And include Genies and Hyperfind support, scheduling maintenance, and other expanded supervisory functionality. Because the Kronos iSeries Manager is HTML-based, system server requirements are a fraction of what current iSeries JWALK (GUI) client resources utilize. The HTML-based iSeries Manager is simply another method to deploy the Kronos iSeries application when accessing the application in a managerial role. It is important to note that all environments- HTML, JWALK GUI and 5250 Green Screen -can coexist on the same server

33. New HTML Web Based User Interface Option Kronos iSeries Central introduces a new suite wide HTML web-based user interface for all Kronos iSeries Central role based users. In previous versions the only HTML-based options available were for manager and employee type users. The new HTML web-based user interface provides a new and improved look to the Kronos iSeries Central application across the entire suite. Features of the new user interface include drop down menus, hover over features and streamlined navigation throughout the application. The HTML user interface leverages the existing technology framework of the IBM iSeries operating system utilizing the Apache server so no additional hardware components or servers required.

Benefits of the new HTML web-based user interface include the new look, feel, navigation, no applets needed, nothing needs to reside on the client except the browser and no need for any 3rd party software.

It is important to note that JWALK GUI is no longer supported or sold in Kronos iSeries Central version 6 and that the Kronos application can be deployed in one of two ways 5250 Green Screen or in the new HTML-based method.

34. 4500 Communication Monitoring A new “Group Device Monitor” option has been added to the communications selection screen to replace the “Ethernet Group Maintenance” program. The communications monitoring program allows users to monitor 4000 series communications using a communication dashboard which provides detail such as job start and stop, host port, group status, last message information, monitoring date and time, and record download information. The 4000 series monitoring program provides organizations with the tools they need to better manage communications allowing you to be pro-active versus reactive when there is a problem with the 4000 series terminals which can result in lost punches and downtime. NOTE: The monitoring option is only available for 4500 terminals.

35. Improved Time Clock Communication Configuration Setup The “Time Clock Communications” maintenance programs have been relocated and modified to simplify device configuration. In previous versions of the application the configuration fields needed for each of the different type devices were combined therefore making it hard for a user to know which configuration fields were applicable to each device type. Now with the improved communications setup the user will be prompted to enter the device type and based on the clock selected the configuration screens will only display those configuration fields that apply to that clock type.

36. Time off Request Within the release of Kronos iSeries Central version 6.0 release service pack 2 the functionality was added to the Kronos iSeries Employee offering that allows employees to request time off via web access or via the 4500 terminal. Employees make the request and using email notification (optional) the manager would receive an email notifying them that a new leave request had been submitted and was available for them to approve or reject the request using the “Managing Time Off Requests” feature. Once the manager has approved the request the system will automatically create the timecard and/or schedule entries automatically to record the time off.

37. Navigators and Widgets Web Access (Kronos iSeries Manager) now includes a new optional Navigator dashboard approach to manage events that require action in real time. The Navigator allows manager and supervisor users to see all relevant information pertaining to the managing of their employees in one convenient dashboard, which also provides links that take them directly to the areas of the application where actions can be taken. Widgets are windows of information that can be assigned to a Navigator. The types of Widgets that can currently be configured are: Employment Anniversaries, Employee Birthdays, Exceptions, Time Off Requests, Approaching Overtime, Scheduled Not Clocked in conditions, Certification Expiration conditions and Approval/Attestation status. Navigators and Widgets are only available in the web access and not the standard green screen interface.

38. Mobile Applications As part of the Next Generation of Kronos iSeries Workforce Management, Kronos iSeries Mobile enables employees to use their mobile devices to access Kronos iSeries Central. Kronos iSeries Mobile allows managers and employees to complete basic functions while on the go.
