Kronos Basics When people go to the URL for Kronos, they see the page where they will log in using their NetID and password which is the same NetID and password used for email, and many other University systems. Employees will immediately be taken to their time sheet unless they are a supervisor. If they are a supervisor, they will see a list of all of their employees where they can double click the person to see that person's time sheet. Supervisors will see all employees to which they have access grouped by who the direct supervisor is but can limit this group by picking a different group from the "Show" drop down box such as only temporary employees. New filters can be requested with this form.

There are two different types of time sheets. One is where they just log their hours for the day which has the days of the week horizontal across the screen.

This is the other where they use their WildCARD to swipe in and out for their job using a badge reader which has the days of the week vertical down the screen.
