Kronos Updates

Paid Time Off Program for Benefits-Eligible Employees

UTMB is transitioning to a paid time off program for all benefits-eligible faculty and staff. The new myPTO program will provide the flexibility and privacy needed for a healthier work-life balance. Employees will have more control over how they use their earned time off — whether it is for vacation, an illness, a field trip with a child or any other personal reason. The program replaces the existing state-sponsored vacation and sick leave plans and is expected to launch March 28, 2022.

Getting Access to Kronos

There are three levels of access to Kronos. The decision concerning which level of access will be granted to you has been determined by your department.

 

Employees recording their time using a phone

  • UTMB Employees are able to clock in and out shortly after they are actually "hired" into the system.
  • No additional paperwork is required.
  • Your Timekeeper / Manager should have instructions on how to use the phone system.

Employees who are Timekeepers / Managers for their area

If you are a Timekeeper or Manager:

  • ALL Timekeepers and Managers must attend training before access is granted to edit and approve timecards. Register for the 4-hour classes.
  • Once you've attended class, your trusted requestor for your department will need to submit a Tivoli request for you to be granted access.

To access Kronos from an off-campus PC, you must be using VPN or Citrix. Learn more on the Working Remotely webpage.
