Kronos Labor Transfers
Western Michigan University employees are assigned to a primary labor account, default work rule and a primary job. During their normal workday, all their worked and non-worked hours are calculated using the default work rule and charged to their assigned labor account and job.
However, employees are not limited to working in their primary labor account, at their primary job, using their primary work rule. Sometimes employees work other jobs in other departments or have their hours calculated differently using a different work rule. These are employees with multiple jobs.
Timekeepers can perform transfers so an employee’s hours are calculated differently or charged to a different account and job which is not the employee’s primary account or job. Transfers can be for the entire shift or a portion of the shift.
If you are the primary labor account or home account, the transfer process is not necessary.
