Kronos Launches Workforce-Centrics Apps Marketplace for SMBs

Compatibility with Kronos InTouch time clock. In this latest version, customers can leverage InTouch to “reshape the way employees interact with their workforce management data.” Another cloud service, InTouch was designed to work securely over the Internet and through firewalls. Its color touchscreen, graphical interface and multimedia capabilities were designed to provide customers with a high level of personalization for faster employee adoption and increased productivity.

A Workforce-centric applications marketplace. Through the apps marketplace, Workforce Ready integrates with products and services from a variety of accredited third-party providers directly through the application. Applications are certified for inclusion in the Workforce Ready Marketplace, with the idea of extending the reach and functionality of Workforce Ready SMB cloud services. A few of the first services that are available in the marketplace include a service that enables background checks on prospective employees, one that verifies U.S. citizenship to ensure employees are compliant with employment legislation, and another that simplifies the integration of organizations’ benefits carriers with the Workforce Ready HR application.

A number of new features and enhancements around payroll processing exception handling, data import and conversion processes, and support for compliance charges required by federal, state and local jurisdictions.
