Keeping up-to-date on new requirements and legislation is one part of the challenge, while accurately tracking and maintaining compliance is the other. Kronos provides solutions with workforce diversity in mind for workers of all generations, regardless if they are contractors, part-timers, hourly or salaried, telecommuters or field workers. Our software is powerful, scalable and flexible enough to handle complex pay rules while providing employee selfservice and collaboration features to empower the workforce.
