Work History

- Responsible for all things Kronos and payroll for a large, multi country database. Items include development, functional roles, collaborating with the business leaders and developing innovative out of the box ideas to make things better for the organization.
- Over the years while being on the business side, I have been responsible for several innovative items that Kronos/UKG have adopted. 1. QR code punching that is now in the Dimensions mobile app. It started as an idea I had to use NFC tags to only allow punching on the mobile app when the employee was in our unit and also to capture the labor level transfer information on the tag to automatically pick up the transfer information. Fresenius medical care paid for 1/2 of the development of this and Kronos paid for the other half. This was added to the mobile app for Android phones. 2. Kronos Analytics came from me indirectly. I had an outside firm, Clarity Matters out of Atlanta, doing some custom reports for us. While doing this work they asked me if Kronos had a need for data warehousing. I thought that was a great idea and let them use my database and taught them the database tables and setup a meeting with Kronos management. Kronos liked it so much they aquired Clarity Matters and turned this into Analytics.
