Will County Health Department Using Kronos

The Will County Health Department in Illinois is using the time and attendance solution from Kronos® Incorporated to accurately track employee time at H1N1 flu vaccination clinics. The real-time information offered by Kronos is helping the department properly reimburse employees working extra hour

CHELMSFORD, Mass. (December 17, 2009) –

The Will County Health Department in Illinois is using the time and attendance solution from Kronos® Incorporated to accurately track employee time at H1N1 flu vaccination clinics. The real-time information offered by Kronos is helping the department properly reimburse employees working extra hours and effectively track labor hours accurately for federal grants received to administer the clinics.
News Facts

* Kronos is helping the health department pay its employees working extra hours at seven clinics set up in schools across the county. Employees are conducting various duties including site coordination, vaccine administration, and review of release forms.
* Will County Health Department is also using Kronos to develop a First Responder emergency tracking strategy.
* Kronos allows the health department to add extra pay codes and specific comments in the system, to help calculate accurate overtime for First Responders. Given the complexity of a government organization’s payroll environment, the more challenging pay rules a time and attendance system can handle, the greater the reduction in error.
* Will County Health Department selected Kronos to completely automate and centralize its time and attendance data collection process, which is a common weak point in many government infrastructures. If time and attendance data collection is done manually, it can leak hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dollars each year. Considering that labor costs represent one of the largest operational expenses for government organizations, time and attendance data collection is a great place to look for efficiency improvement and quick payback.

Supporting Quotes

* Sue Olenek, director of administrative services, Will County Health Department
“Complete automation of complex processes such as tracking time, calculating overtime, and managing absence leaves no room for error. This becomes even more critical when we need employees to spend extra hours during unforeseen circumstances. Kronos has been a valuable technology partner in enabling us to develop our First Responder strategy and helping us become as accountable as possible to the public.”
* Christine Carmichael, director of public sector marketing, Kronos
“Today it is the H1N1 virus that is capturing the nation’s attention, but tomorrow it may be another crisis. Since workers are key to successfully executing a First Responder strategy, the ability to actually track employee time is crucial. Will County Health Department is using Kronos solutions to achieve the important goal of tracking effectively during emergencies in addition to controlling labor costs, minimizing compliance risk, and improving workforce productivity.”

Kronos Retail Labor Index(TM) Shows Retail Hiring at Highest Level in 2009

Kronos® Incorporated today announced the December release of the Kronos Retail Labor Index�, a family of metrics and indices that analyze the relationship between the demand and supply sides of the labor market within the U.S. retail sector, and provide a distinct and early indicator of the overa

CHELMSFORD, Mass., (December 07, 2009) –

Kronos® Incorporated today announced the December release of the Kronos Retail Labor Index(TM), a family of metrics and indices that analyze the relationship between the demand and supply sides of the labor market within the U.S. retail sector, and provide a distinct and early indicator of the overall state of the economy. The December release includes data for November 2009. The report is available on the Kronos Retail Labor Index website.
News Facts

* The Kronos Retail Labor Index: (This metric is defined as the percentage of job applications that result in a hiring, normalized within a scale of 0 to 100. A level of 3.00 percent means that for every 100 applications received, three hirings occurred). The Kronos Retail Labor Index increased to 3.87 percent this month, its highest level in 2009.
* Retail Hiring Level: The 68 retailers representing 27,034 distributed locations across the U.S. that make up the Kronos data sample recorded 49,412 hirings in November 2009; an 8.49 percent increase over October. This followed a 13.31 percent increase from September to October. November’s seasonally adjusted figure represents the highest level of hiring so far in 2009.
* Retail Applications Level: The supply of applications decreased in November for the first time in 2009 to a seasonally adjusted level of 1,266,902 down from 1,583,990 in October.
* Retail Employee Retention Rate: Continuing the trend of increased employee retention, the 60-day retention rate for November 2009 was 3.87 percent higher than it was in November 2008.
* Holiday Hiring: While the level of applications received by retailers in November has increased each year since 2006, the cumulative number of hirings made in each of those years has decreased and is currently at its lowest point since 2006, indicating that retailers are expecting a slow holiday sales season.

Supporting Quotes

* Dr. Robert Yerex, Ph.D., chief economist, Kronos
“The Kronos Retail Labor Index reached its highest level for the year this month, a positive sign for retailers and for those seeking retail employment. While the short-term news is good, the longer- term view is more troubling. Since 2006, the level of applications received by retailers from September through November each year has increased, but the cumulative number of hirings made over the same period has decreased. This indicates that retailers are expecting the 2009 winter holiday retail season to be weaker than each of the previous three years, and in response, delayed their surge in holiday season hiring by two weeks as compared with previous years.”

Supporting Resources

* Organizations that use Kronos hiring solutions employ approximately 15 percent of the U.S. consumer retail labor market, providing Kronos with a unique set of data on employee job applications, hirings, and length of service.
* The Kronos Retail Labor Index is released on a monthly basis. Go to www.kronos.com/retail-labor-index to access: the full report; a schedule of upcoming Index release dates; the Index methodology; and downloadable graphics.
* Note to reporters: cite Index findings as “Kronos Retail Labor Index”.
