CalKronos Supervisors

Supervisor Responsibilities

Supervisors are responsible for reviewing, updating, and approving your employees’ CalKronos Timecards each biweekly pay period.

Supervisors’ timekeeping duties depend on a number of factors, such as whether employees record their hours worked on a realtime basis, how complex the employee schedules and pay rules are, and whether employees use computers or time clocks to enter hours worked into CalKronos.

Supervisors may need to:

  • Approve time cards
  • Add, correct, and delete entries by employees
  • Add and delete comments on timecards
  • Change a job assignment for a shift
  • Change the work rule for a single shift
  • Enter a transfer to change the cost center when an employee works at a different location or event
  • Remove timecard approval to return a timecard to an employee
  • Edit employee’s schedule
  • Generate reports
