Committee approves time-sheet exception report to address Kronos payroll errors
Summary
The committee approved creating a time-sheet exception report and a remedial reconciliation/training process after finance staff reported recurring Kronos issues and clerical discrepancies; staff will implement corrective steps and return with updates.
The Sumner County committee approved a time-sheet exception report and action plan to address recurring payroll and Kronos time-card errors.
Finance staff said supervisors frequently submit incomplete or inconsistent time sheets and the payroll team spends significant time reconciling discrepancies before payroll runs. "We need to create a time sheet exception report and... have these people identify errors and undergo training," the finance director said.
Commissioners discussed who would review exceptions and how to hold supervisors accountable. The committee agreed the report would identify employees with repeated errors and require corrective action plans or training. Chair Cherry Boyd said she would contact CTAS for best practices on internal controls and oversight for positions that currently lack a clear payroll manager.
The committee voted in favor of the motion to create the exception report and to monitor results at subsequent meetings. The committee directed staff to implement reconciliation steps and provide periodic updates to the committee.
