Kronos Coming to IPFW ---- No More Time Cards!
 Kronos, a type of electronic timekeeping software, will be used to pay bi-weekly employees for hours worked beginning in January 2014. This includes students, temporary non-students, and regular benefited clerical and service and operations/technical assistants.
This new process will enable IPFW to provide a single automated timekeeping solution, eliminate those big yellow time cards, reduce inconsistent processes and their associated costs, and increase compliance with Purdue policy and federal wage and hour laws (Fair Labor Standards Act).
Kronos will be implemented in two phases. The first phase, beginning in January 2014, will include most non-academic departments. The second phase will be implemented at a later date in 2014. For more information, visit the Human Resources website.
