Delegation within the time-off module in Kronos has recently been enhanced to increase the flexibility of who a manager can assign as a delegate. Managers who wish to officially delegate their time off authority in Kronos, whether short or long term, can select either another manager or a timekeeper as their delegate. As a reminder, timekeepers may assign delegation to another timekeeper.
When delegation is initiated, the delegate has the ability to see and edit the tasks of the manager or timekeeper (i.e. approve annual time, manage timecards). It is possible for an individual to accept more than one delegation. More information about initiating and accepting delegation can be found in the following document, also available on the Benefits Time Off Learning page.
September Learning Opportunities
Throughout September there will be learning opportunities, including webinars for managers and employees. Benefits will also continue to host weekly virtual office hours where employees can ask questions in an open forum to time off questions such as, “How do I cancel a request?,” “How do I submit time on behalf of a direct report?” Virtual office hours are a Q&A session only and will not include training slides or formal instruction.
Micro-video tutorials
We recently added additional micro-video tutorials for managers to our Time Off Learning page including how to review and approve/cancel time off requests, how to create a hyperfind for your direct reports and more! In addition, pre-recorded webinars for both managers and employees will be available at the beginning of September. These webinars will cover topics such as approving your direct reports’ time-off requests, canceling a request when plans change, and viewing accrual balances.
