California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Standardizes Management of 35,000+ Staff on Kronos; Expects $1.5 Million in Annual Savings
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), one
of the largest state government departments in the nation, uses the
TeleStaff solution from Kronos
Incorporated to standardize more than 35,000 staff schedules and
create greater accountability of staffing, overtime costs, and leave
usage. By automating critical processes, the Kronos (News - Alert) TeleStaff solution
is improving productivity at the department, helping it achieve an
anticipated $1.5 million in annual savings.
News Facts
-
CDCR selected the Kronos TeleStaff solution for its employees across
34 institutions and one contract facility. The Kronos TeleStaff
solution replaced a disparate, manual legacy system that required
time-consuming analysis and validation, and lacked the ability to
apply business rules consistently across the department.
-
With the Kronos TeleStaff solution, CDCR now has access to real-time
labor data and can more effectively manage its workforce through
standardization and complete automation of processes.
-
The department is poised to achieve $1.5 million in annual savings
through greater accuracy and efficiency.
-
CDCR is now able to assign shifts and overtime by seniority, helping
ensure compliance with union and department pay rules. Also, overtime
is now calculated within hours and more accurately, as opposed to
requiring HR staff to do the calculation manually with the previous
legacy system over four or five days each month.
-
Additionally, greater employee leave usage accountability has improved
overall leave management. Prior to leveraging the Kronos TeleStaff
solution, it was harder for employees to see how much paid time off
was available, resulting in leave-related errors.
-
The Kronos TeleStaff solution also integrates with CDCR's SAP (News - Alert)
enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, significantly improving
payroll accuracy through real-time, high-quality labor data entering
the system.
-
Ultimately, by standardizing critical processes, providing access to
real-time labor data, and accommodating complex pay rules across
various business units, the Kronos TeleStaff solution allows CDCR to
take preemptive action across every unit before challenges become
larger organizational problems.
