Key Features

Absence Management: Kronos Workforce Ready’s scheduler allows managers to sort employees based on availability, seniority, skill set and more in order to build schedules, fill open shifts and adjust when there are unplanned absences.

Automated alerts remind candidates to finish incomplete forms, enroll in benefits, complete orientations and more.
