STEPS time entry
We're improving STEPS time entry
We have improved time entry for STEPS employees.
You will either use your area's Kronos timekeeping system, or you will enter your working hours in Fieldglass, an online system accessible through myUK, depending on where you work. Below, you'll find information about how these new time entry systems work specific to your type of STEPS position. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with these systems. If you have any questions, please call Marty Jacks at (859) 257-9561 or email gmjack2@uky.edu.

UK HealthCare Kronos FAQs
For employees
For managers and supervisors
I work remotely. How will I enter time?
STEPS employees will be automatically set up with web access which will allow for time entry while working remotely. However, you will need to work with your supervisor to ensure this is appropriate for your position.
Which time clocks will be available to me to clock in and out?
You will automatically have access to all Kronos time clocks near your work area. You should work with your supervisor to identify the time clocks that are most appropriate.
What information do I need to clock in and out?
To access Kronos time clocks, you will need a valid UK HealthCare badge or WildCard. If you do not have one, please work with your supervisor to obtain one from the UK HealthCare WildCard ID Office. The office is located in Chandler Hospital, room A.00.807. You can also contact the office at (859) 323-2356 or email SecurityIDbadges@uky.edu
I do not have a badge. Where do I get one?
You and your supervisor should work together to obtain a badge or WildCard from the UK HealthCare WildCard ID Office. The office is located in Chandler Hospital, room A.00.807. You can also contact the office at (859) 323-2356 or email SecurityIDbadges@uky.edu
My badge is very old. Will it still work?
If your badge allows access to your work area, the badge should work with the Kronos time clocks. If you have trouble, please work with the UK HealthCare WildCard ID Office to obtain an updated badge.
It doesn’t appear that I am in Kronos. What should I do?
If you are in a position that is funded by a grant, you will not be able to leverage Kronos for timekeeping purposes. You will use an online system called Fieldglass, accessible through myUK. You will need to create a user account for this system, and your supervisor will approve your time using this system. This system will not be available until February 28. Until that time, you will continue to submit paper time sheets.
If you have multiple assignments within STEPS or with a UK HealthCare department outside of STEPS, you will not be able to track both assignments using Kronos. You will use an online system called Fieldglass, accessible through myUK. You will need to create a user account for this system and your supervisor will approve your time using this system. This system will not be available until February 28. Until that time, you will continue to submit paper time sheets.
My STEPS employees work as needed and do not have a set schedule. How will this be handled?
Most employees will appear in the Kronos scheduling tool. You may set up schedules for the shift your employee is expected to work, or they may simply clock in an out when they are needed to work.
I have an employee who works in another position in UK HealthCare. I understand they cannot use Kronos. Why is this?
Although STEPS employees are in Kronos, they are in a different personnel area. Unfortunately, Kronos cannot have the same person in two different personnel areas. Therefore, STEPS employees who have another UK HealthCare assignment will need to enter their work time for their STEPS position directly in to Fieldglass, which is an online time approval system accessible through myUK. As their supervisor, you will also need to access this system to approve your employee’s time.
My STEPS employees work off site. How will they be able to record time?
STEPS employees will be automatically set up with web access which will allow for time entry while working remotely.
I am not an approver in Kronos. What do I need to do?
If you are not an approver in Kronos, most likely there is an individual in your area who already has this responsibility for regular staff. We would recommend using this same resource for time approval for your STEPS employees, if possible.
My employee works long weekend shifts. Is it possible to only clock in at the beginning of the shift?
Employees are expected to clock in at the beginning of their daily shift and clock out at the end of their daily shift.
What if my employee only works a shorter shift? Will meal time still be removed?
If your employee works 4.5 hours or less, no meal period will be deducted. However, if your employee works five hours or more, they need to take a meal period. This time will be automatically deducted.
Online time entry users
If you are a campus STEPS employee in an area where you do not use the Kronos timekeeping system, you will enter your time online through a timekeeping system called Fieldglass, accessible through myUK. You will log in to myUK and find STEPS time entry in Employee Self Service.
If you have multiple assignments, this is the time entry system you will use.
