Daily Kronos Duties
INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY
KRONOS - Account for Subs Each Day
If Subs are to bepaid properly,
they mustpunch properly!
And, if youtrain them to
punch properlyit will make
your job easier!
1. Take a few minutes each morning to account for your Subs in KRONOS
• Once the Sub leaves for the day, you cannot have them re-punch. Save time and frustration by doing an accountability check each morning.
2. Use the Daily Sub Report from Smart Find Express & compare with the names you see in KRONOS
• If you have 5 Subs working, you should see 5 timecards in KRONOS.
3. Remember, the KRONOS clock accepts anything the employee enters –good or bad! The clock doesn’t know how they are suppose to punch, it’s a dummy terminal.
• You will NOT see the Sub’s timecard if they do not punch In correctly!
4. If the punch is missing or incorrect, and the Sub is still at your school, have him/her punch again so they know they didn’t punch correctly the first time. They won’t learn from their mistakes if you don’t tell them!
• The timecard must be adjusted in KRONOS.
5. A correct punch and/or edit in KRONOS creates a position (IT0554) automatically overnight in SAP for those working at an org unit for the first time
• This position is required for the Sub to be paid correctly.
6. If you must miss a day’s accountability, you can still account for your Subs for that day during the same week

Viewing Today’s Subs Punches
n
KRONOS
✓ When calculating time for Employees,
Kronos will round to the nearest quarter
hour.
✓ You should review the amount of
time that will be paid to determine if it
is correct .
✓ The “break point” for rounding time up
or down is shown to the right (i.e. 7
minutes on either side of the quarter
hour rounds to the quarter hour).
✓For example, 7:00am = any punch
times from 6:53 – 7:07 am rounds to
7:00am. 7:08am would round to
7:15am.

VIEWING TODAY’S SUBS’ PUNCHES
Please use All Home & Transferred-In in the Show Box which is also the default when you log into
Kronos & Select Today in the Time Period to see the list of subs (Transferred-In) & you will also
see your (Home) employees too that work at another location that uses Kronos.
You can use your School's Name in the Show Box if they have correctly punched in & out for the day.
✓ Please take 2 minutes each day to view your sub’s punches before they leave to make sure all
sub’s are accounted for that day because you can’t make them come back & re-punch once they
leave.
✓ Since the clock accepts all punches, the subs will also know they did not punch properly when
you discuss the issue with them & have them punch again.
INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY
VIEWING TODAY’S SUBS’ PUNCHES
1. The On Premises column will have a check mark for all sub’s that punched in for
Today.
2. If you do not see a name, then the sub did not punch or did not punch properly. Have
the sub re-punch before they leave & verify that you can see their name.
3. Since an important issue with Kronos is making sure your sub’s punched in properly,
you can log out of Kronos & edit timecards later.
INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY
VIEWING TODAY’S SUBS’ PUNCHES
1. If you want to view the sub’s timecards, the On Premises column will have a check
mark for all sub’s that punched in for Today.

Cost Overrides
In
KRONOS
INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY
Cost Overrides/Account Coding
• Are mainly used for Substitute Teachers
• Should be entered timely
• Should be made in KRONOS whenever possible
✓After the KRONOS hours are uploaded on Sundays, changes must be made in SAP (CATS)
• Coding entered into KRONOS is different from coding entered into SAP
• The line of coding for the reclassification (cost override) will be provided by the Budgetkeeper or the org unit/location paying for the reclassification
• Accuracy is critical for costs to be posted to the correct budget and incorrect coding entries can result in errors during the running or posting of payrolls
INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY
KRONOS - Coding1. There are different types of coding formats in KRONOS:
✓ Option 1A – Grant Coding where the WBS Element # has 16 digits
✓ Option 1B – Grant Coding where the WBS Element # has 17 digits
✓ Option 2 – Internal Order (rarely used)
✓ Option 3 – Cost Center Coding (used most often)
2. Use the Chart of Accounts to check the coding information and to verify the accuracy

OPTISPOOL REPORTS
INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY
Optispool Report Errors
1. The Kronos Optispool Error report is sent to you on Fridays & Mondays after
7:30 am. Friday’s Report is titled Kronos Time Preliminary in Optispool.
Monday’s Report is Titled Kronos Time in Optispool. The date is the date the
report is run which is usually the night before.
2. You will need your Bookkeeper/Budgetkeeper’s Optispool Password to see
your location’s Optispool Report to find out who the errors belong to & what
date so you can make corrections.
3. The Optispool website is https://webapp.browardschools.com/optispool/ /
4. If you need your Optispool password reset, please contact the I & T Service
Desk 754-321-0411 & listen for the prompt for Password Reset.
INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY
Optispool Report Errors
1. Substitutes that had errors on their
timecards are shown in this area of the
error report, that I send you on Friday &
Monday mornings & will not be paid
correctly unless you address the issues.
All errors on Friday are made in Kronos.
All errors on Monday are made in SAP.
2. Some subs did not press the blue sub key
first when punching in, so you cannot see
their timecard unless they worked for you
another day during the current week. You
can bring up a prior timecard and edit the
Transfer info. You can also have them re-
punch with the blue sub key & edit their
timecard.
3. The sub’s names with negative hours are
because there is an error on an edit that
you made on the timecard for that day.
For Example, you added a row to adjust
the hours, but forgot to add your Transfer
column info. Hours will overpay without
the Transfer column info.
INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY
Optispool Report Errors
1. This sub shows up on the Substitute Teacher’s Portion of the Error report for 3 days 3/5, 3/6 & 3/8 because the
sub did not press the blue sub key 1st when punching in.
2. Your school’s coding that shows in the Transfer column on the timecard is programmed in the blue Substitute
Teacher button on your clock. When they do not punch in properly, the Transfer column is blank & you cannot
see the timecard.
3. No hours will transfer into SAP for Payment unless the timecard is corrected before Sunday’s Kronos Pull into
SAP at Noon.
4. If the timecard is not corrected by Sunday’s Kronos pull into SAP, the hours will need to be entered in SAP on
Monday.
INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY
Optispool Report Errors
This sub shows up on the Substitute Teacher’s Portion of the Error report because the Transfer column info is blank.
1. A row was added on 3/5 to adjust the 7.00 hours to 6.75 because the sub punched in too early or out to late.
The Pay code RGR is correct & the Amount -0.25 is correct. The Transfer coding is missing & that is the error
on the timecard. Without the Transfer column info, you did all that work for nothing because this adjustment is
incorrect.
2. The sub will be OVERPAID .25 since they worked 7.0 hours instead of 6.75, unless a correction is made in
Kronos before Sunday’s pull into SAP.
3. If the OVERPAID hours are transferred to SAP on Monday in error, have the Payroll contact make the correction
in SAP.
INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY
Optispool Report Errors
1. For Those of you who have Error Message, Hours are Not Positive or LE 0, there could be several errors
that are the reason for this error message.
a) You forgot to add the Transfer column coding for the row you added to adjust hours.
b) The Pay Code is not correct, REG for Pool Subs & RGR for Interim subs & regular subs.
c) You adjusted the hours & both Transfer columns do not match.
2. The sub could be OVERPAID hours unless a correction is made in Kronos before Sundays pull into SAP.
3. If the OVERPAID hours are transferred to SAP on Monday in error, have the Payroll contact make the
correction in SAP.

Optispool Report Errors
1. For Those of you who have Error Message, Position Not In SAP for Employee, 080101 Interim sub
teacher there could be several errors that are the reason for this error message. By the way 080101 is
the Job Class # for Interim sub teachers & is not a Personnel #.
2. You have an Interim Sub punching as an Interim sub & they are not in the position in SAP yet or the
position has ended. You can have them punch as a regular sub until they are in the Interim Sub position
in SAP so they have some $ because it can take 2-8 weeks to be in the position in SAP.
3. You added a position # to the wrong type of sub (i.e Interim position # for a regular sub.)
4. The hours will not be paid unless a correction is made in Kronos before Sundays pull into SAP.
5. If the timecard was not corrected in Kronos before Sunday’s pull into SAP, you will need to make the
correction in SAP on Monday.

Optispool Report Errors
1. For Those of you who have Error Message, Cost Center is Invalid, Fund is Invalid, Grant is Invalid,
WBS Element is invalid, Bad Indicator – must be C, O, or G these are coding errors. Please refer to
the next 2 slides to see the coding options.
2. If the timecard is not corrected in Kronos before Sundays pull into SAP, the hours are transferred in
SAP but not the coding because it is not correct. We do not penalize the sub’s hours for your coding
error.
3. You can add the coding in SAP, but not on Monday because payroll will be running. If you enter the
coding in error, the hours will kick out & not pay in that paycheck.
4. Coding in Kronos is easier because we have 15 rows of history to select prior coding that we used in
the Transfer column. In SAP, you have to enter everything manually.
5. If you make your edits in Kronos before you leave on Thursday, Friday’s Optispool will tell you if you
have any errors & can correct them before Sunday’s pull into SAP.
