Modern timekeeping practices powered by Kronos Incorporated at the University of Toronto (U of T) streamline workforce management of more than 3,000 hourly employees, translating to an estimated $300,000 in annual savings for the organization. The unified Kronos solution delivers the convenience of electronic timesheets available 24/7 in the cloud – saving 9 tons of paper annually – and gives employees and department managers greater confidence in the U of T payroll system.

News Facts

  • U of T is a public university based in Ontario, Canada that enrolls more than 90,000 students annually. Following the success of its initial Kronos deployment in 2018, U of T has embarked on a multi-year effort to replicate its model of efficiency across three campuses with plans to automate the tedious tasks involved with monitoring time and attendance for up to 8,000 shift workers.
  • Automated timekeeping and payroll processes now centralize workforce management operations for 16 U of T departments, maximizing productivity, reducing manual payroll errors, ensuring compliance, and keeping employees engaged.

    • Automated employee scheduling and timecard approvals streamline administrative work for department managers, while real-time visibility into critical workforce data – such as when employees approach overtime – provides greater control over labor costs.
    • Unionized pay rules and employment standards are now consistently defined and applied across departments to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
  • The University of Toronto will continue to introduce payroll and timekeeping efficiencies across its campuses while additional solutions, including advanced scheduling, will be implemented with personalized support from Kronos customer success and strategic advisory teams to help U of T achieve the greatest value from its workforce management investment.
