We are just beginning the work of implementing Kronos Workforce Timekeeper which will be integrated to our GP environment ( I am planning to upgrade to GP 2016 before we cutover to Kronos). I didn't see a specific community for GP/ronos although maybe there should be one but . . .
I was wondering if anyone in this chain that has gone through (or will be going through) a Kronos timekeeper implementation would be willing to share their contact info with me for questions on how you might have dealt with items such as :
1. Labor Levels
2. Pay codes
and lots of other questions I know are going to come up!

We have been using Kronos Workforce Ready for a couple years now and love it. We use a combination of their Middleware product and eOne SmartConnect to manage the integration of employees, accruals and projects/cost categories. Timesheets are integrated with Project Accounting Timesheet Entry. Not the simplest implementation but extremely reliable given GP is traditional on premise and Workforce Ready is SaaS.

Hi !
using both Kronos and GP , I've found a few tricks.
one is that you can either write reports from within Kronos or outside using ssrs or other programs to access the correct tables. Kronos support can help you ID the right tables
Kronos has 2 pieces , timekeeper and HR/Payroll .. I assume your looking at the timekeeper side and using the payroll package on GP?
In kronos their is a tab called Data integration. in that you can select interfaces. Using that you can create an interface that generates your needed GP import report and saves it on a preset schedule and location .
Then using the smart connect or other import program you then set up a pull the file into GP and do clean up afterwards .
If you really want to , you can set up smart connect to access KRONOS using a SQL query and pull it directly into GP.

Will a Kronos timekeeping product fully interface with GP without double entry or using integration manager to import files? I have a retirement home client that is being urged to purchase a Kronos product instead of upgrading their Untiime time & attendance biometric system that fully interfaces with GP. Are you a GP user that uses a Kronos product that fully interfaces with GP or are you a partner that have clients using Kronos? What product does fully interface with GP? My client does not want to incur any double entry of employees nor rely on having to export a file from Kronos that we have to write an integration from integration manager to import hours for payroll processing.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to answer my questions.
