BYU KRONOS system to enjoy upgrade

After nearly 12 years of service, BYU's Kronos time-keeping system will be upgraded Saturday, Nov. 22. This upgrade will allow many staff and student employees to take advantage of Internet technology to log their time directly from their computer workstations.

Feedback from Kronos supervisors in each department has determined that approximately 6,000 employees should use Web-based time entry, while another 7,500 will continue to use the existing time clocks located across campus. In addition, supervisors will have access to much-improved time-reporting and time-correction tools. Those using Web-based time entry from their individual workstations may also use time clocks to enter time. For employees authorized to work from home, Web-based time entry may also be used.

Kronos supervisors will train employees on which entry method they should use; supervisors will also have reporting tools that show the computer or clock from which an employee logged his or her time.

Beginning Wednesday, Nov. 19, staff and student employees can check to see if they have been granted Web-based entry rights by entering Route Y and selecting "Kronos" under the Stage section heading. If entering the Route Y login information allows access to Kronos, an employee is an authorized Web-based user. Otherwise employees will continue to use the time clocks.

Employees who are able to access Kronos in this test mode may also try the Web-based time entry and report options without affecting their regular time-reporting or payroll information until Nov. 22. On that day, the Kronos item will move to the Work section heading and the system will be live for time-reporting and payroll.

A demonstration of the Web-based time entry process is available by selecting the first item on the right side of the Payroll panel at http://finserve.byu.edu/Finserve.jsp?page=50.

Save your tears for another day — BYU researchers can use them to detect disease

It’s been said that angry tears are salty and happy tears are sweet. Whether or not that’s actually the case, it is true that not all tears are the same. Tears from chopping an onion are different from those shed from pain – like stepping on a Lego in the middle of the night — as are those special basal tears that keep eyes moist all day. Each type of tear carries unique proteins that reveal insights into health.

A new study conducted by BYU researcher Julianne Holt-Lunstad finds that offering a single act of kindness each week reduced loneliness, social isolation and social anxiety, and promoted neighborhood relationships.

Humanities professors Michael Call and Brian Croxall have introduced a new video gaming initiative to BYU’s campus. With the support of the College of Humanities, students gather each Monday at 4:00 p.m. in the Humanities Learning Commons for a short faculty lecture about the video game of the week. The game is then available to play throughout the week. Beginning with Stardew Valley and Minecraft, the highlighted games and analyses are continuing through the semester.
