Welcome to Kronos in the Cloud — Timberlake FSs and Service Techs Page 1 of 5

What is happening? A new version of Kronos is coming to all AWC employees.

About the new version of Kronos: When is it coming? Old Kronos goes off line on 05/11/2015 at midnight EDT.

New Kronos Version 7.0 becomes available on 05/18/15.

What is it? New Kronos is browser-based (Internet Explorer) just like before. New Kronos is on the Cloud, not on an internal AWC server.

Who is it for? All employees, supervisors, payroll and leave processors will use the new Kronos effective 05/18/15.

How is this better? New features: The Kronos version has several new features, like canceling a previously approved time off request. VPN not required: You will no longer need to access Kronos using VPN. As long as you have internet connectivity, you will be able to log into Kronos.
