Kronos Workforce Ready (WFR) Time & Attendance

In addition, basic user profile information and organizational unit (OU) data is synchronized from the Cornerstone HR system to Kronos. When a new user or OU is added to the Cornerstone HR system, the user or OU is automatically be added to the organization's Kronos system as well. In addition, when an existing OU or user is updated in the Cornerstone HR system, the OU or user's profile is updated in the organization's Kronos system.
This functionality is only available to organizations using Cornerstone HR.

User Sync Error Handling
If the Kronos integration is enabled and an error occurs when the Cornerstone HR system submits an OU or user record to the Kronos system for synchronization, then the Cornerstone HR system generates an email to the Kronos integration email address. This email contains the error messages that were indicated by Kronos. The email address to which these error emails are sent is the email address that is configured to receive notification messages in the event of sync failures.
Configure Settings for WFR URL Endpoints
The Settings page allows customers to configure settings based on unique WFR URL endpoints as follows:
Considerations
- The integration does not sync from Kronos to Cornerstone HR, meaning that if a user is added or updated in Kronos, these users are not added or updated in Cornerstone HR.
- The system begins syncing OUs and users after the integration is enabled. Any existing Cornerstone HR users must be added in bulk via the Kronos solution. User data sync between Kronos and Cornerstone is not real-time because it uses the outbound or inbound data feed.
- Cornerstone HR does not share any Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (SPII) with Kronos. Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (SPII) fields cannot be included in a data load feed. Only manual data loads are supported.
- User record custom fields in Cornerstone cannot be shared with Kronos with this integration.
- Custom fields on the OU are not currently shared with Kronos.
- Custom OUs are not currently shared with Kronos.
