County staff: Kronos can separate new hires starting July 1; commission asked to adopt resolution
Summary
Sumner County staff told commissioners June 5 that the county's Kronos timekeeping system can distinguish new hires from existing employees by July 1 and recommended forwarding a resolution to require the change; the commission approved the item at the meeting by voice vote.
A county staff member told the Sumner County Commission on June 5 that the county’s Kronos timekeeping system can be configured to separate newly hired employees from existing staff by July 1 and asked the commission to send a resolution implementing the change.
“We are able to, by July 1, to separate new employee versus old in the Kronosystem,” the staff member said, noting the department had reviewed timelines and would test the change before the fiscal-year break. “If you wanna send that on to the commission for resolution, we'll take care of it.”
Commission members agreed to move the item forward. One commissioner made a motion to approve the change and the commission adopted the item by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting minutes. The staff member said the July 1 date would give a clean break for the fiscal year and time to test the system.
What was directed: Commissioners approved forwarding the Kronos configuration to the full commission for a resolution requiring the change; staff was instructed to implement and test the separation so the county could start the policy at the beginning of the fiscal year.
No further details on the resolution text or any enforcement procedures were provided at the meeting.
