News Facts

• Mobile applications – New webTA mobile applications improve productivity by making it easier for managers and employees to complete a wide range of workforce-related tasks using a variety of mobile phones and tablet devices. The apps give employees and managers flexibility in how they interact with each other and provide an anytime, anyplace, instant connection to webTA.
  • Employees may track their work in real time, leading to the automatic creation of timely and accurate timesheets. Employees can request time off, and, if appropriate, perform time in/time out (TITO) entries.
  • Managers may use their mobile or tablet devices to monitor resource data, resolve exceptions, and respond quickly to employee requests, such as approving timesheets and granting time-off requests.
  • Kronos mobile applications for webTA are available for Apple iPhone and Blackberry, as well as for the Apple iPad tablet. For information and downloads, customers may visit https://kronosfederal.com.
• Enhanced data capture – With escalating budget pressures and a demand for higher degrees of transparency, federal government leaders are requiring not only more granular levels of data capture across accounts and projects, but across activities and cases (projects associated with funding) as well. The webTA solution now includes products that enhanced data capture and reporting for activities and cases by allowing:
  • Automatic capture of data at the account code, activity, and task levels in a single timesheet;
  • Tabbed summary of labor and case hours fed directly from timesheets; and
  • Case tracking assignment at the employee or organizational levels. In addition, the Case Coordinator role, newly defined in webTA, provides for a more effective management of the case tracking process.
• More than one million employees within 70 U.S. federal government agencies use a Kronos workforce management solution.
