The transition from the Kronos timekeeping system to the new My UT Health Time Manager is a significant update that aims to streamline and modernize time management for employees. This new system is designed to be more user-friendly, featuring intuitive navigation and a dedicated mobile app. Employees can expect a smoother experience when it comes to managing their schedules, tracking notifications, and submitting time-off requests electronically. The switch will officially take place on October 24, at which point all accrued leave balances will be migrated to the new system. However, delegates previously assigned in Kronos will need to be reassigned as this information will not automatically transfer.
Employees will appreciate the continuity as they will continue using existing time clocks, with new clocks being added specifically at the UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital. The changes necessitate a few preparatory steps to ensure a smooth transition. To assist with this, transition checklists have been provided to both employees and managers. These lists offer a comprehensive guide through the necessary steps for the migration, ensuring no one is left behind in the update process.
The new system also offers a range of training resources to support employees during this transition. These resources include job aids, simulation exercises, and instructional videos, all available on-demand. Additionally, the Human Resources Time and Attendance team will be holding office hours from October 25 to November 15 to provide further support. This span of support ensures employees have ample opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new system and resolve any questions or issues that may arise during the initial weeks of its implementation.
