News Facts

Charleston County school district selected Kronos time and attendance
and absence management solutions, as well as mobile applications. And
the school district chose to deploy the solutions in the Kronos Cloud
to achieve a faster return on investment through expedited
implementation and to leverage Kronos expertise to manage, scale, and
upgrade applications. Deploying in the Kronos Cloud will also free up
time for the school district's IT staff members so they can be
re-assigned to other priorities.

The Kronos workforce management solution replaces previous error-prone
and time-consuming manual processes, which limited the transparency of
overtime pay and created difficulties in payroll forecasting. The
primary objective of replacing the organization's legacy system with
Kronos was to compensate employees accurately for hours worked while
maximizing efficiency.

state, federal, and union laws. Through complete automation and
standardization of key processes with Kronos, Charleston County school
district will now be able to set and track schedules and work rules
more accurately. Also by removing manual processes to track,
calculate, and accrue absence- and leave-related information, Kronos

applications of fair time off and leave processes.

Rock Regan, director, public sector practice group, Kronos
"K-12
school districts are struggling to preserve critical programs and
maintain high levels of student service. These institutions need to
take preemptive steps to ensure that they address all loopholes in
processes that may threaten financial viability. From lost revenue due
to understaffing, disruptions in continuity of services, and improper
payments, the failure to manage the workforce accurately and
efficiently can have serious consequences for these entities.
Charleston County is among those school districts that are taking the
right steps to optimize processes for better service outcomes."
