Kronos is a flaming pile of shit and I hate everything about them.

I used to have to time keep in Chronos/Stradasoft at my old job
They should've been paying me an administrative fee, the time it took me to put my hours in
Now my new job uses ADP, and I kinda like it

We're in the implementation process right now- the project management process so far is top notch - the most well structured implementation we have done.

Kronos, ADP, PayCom, WorkDay, is there a pay management system that isn't garbage?

Workday SOAP calls make me feel like I'm back in 2005, so I have that going for me, which is nice.

One of the clients for the MSP I work for uses WorkDay. I don't know if my issues with it are from the application itself or the completely bass-akwards way the client decided to implement it. Need a password reset for someone who doesn't have a company phone number or email and is never in the office because they're basically a freelance contractor? lol, good luck. Even if you called for yourself and got through our phone queue (completely jammed because of your company), you better hope you speak English, because a large number of their staff don't and we have two techs that speak Spanish. Oh, and the process for resetting passwords apparently might take a few hours to go through.

We used to use Kronos at a major oil and gas firm. Most of our hourly users were offshore and It would time out downloading the applet. So we published it via Citrix. It got to the point where the only reason we kept the Citrix farm was to publish Kronos.

Ours requires silverlight. FFS.

ADP has a HTML version for most things. We use ADP at the office and the only ones that need Java are the supervisors to do approvals etc. It's published in RDS for their use.

Surely there’s a PDQ package for that. 😉

Ah ADP.
I have no idea how users fuck up punching in and out on an iPad.
Then there are the 'hey, my pc is running slow'. No, ADP's webapp just blows.

Our company switched to ADP for time punches about 3ish months ago from SumTotal. This was because HR couldn't log IP addresses with the punches. Sumtotal didn't require flash. Now, for every unit that we deploy, we have to make sure that either
- Flash is enabled in Chrome or Firefox
Or
- There are no shortcuts for ADP using Firefox or Chrome.
On top of this, IF ADP is functioning properly, it takes an extra 5 minutes to punch in. SumTotal never took longer than a minute. ADP has caused multiple users to clock in late due to these load times.
Oh yeah, and HR doesn't want us using Quick Timestamp because it doesn't log IP addresses. So, either the employee is disciplined for using Quick Timestamp, or disciplined for clocking in late. Can't win in my company.

We have the newer version of Kronos, no more Java. It required Flash for a while but they've gotten rid of that now too. I can run it all right in my Android phone browser.
