PROJECT OVERVIEW

U of T will be upgrading to Ultimate Kronos Group’s (UKG’s) Dimensions timekeeping solution in advance of Kronos Workforce Central’s end of life in 2025. UTime offers users an improved look and feel, while retaining the robust timekeeping functionality currently available in Workforce Central.

This Information Technology Services initiative started in late fall 2023 in collaboration with People Strategy, Equity & Culture, and participating divisions and faculties across the University. Full implementation is anticipated to extend to late 2024.

In addition to the implementation, the project team will optimize current application configurations to streamline business processes across the tri-campus.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

Our central timekeeping and advanced scheduling solution has over 6,000 users and is established in over 20+ clients/faculties and divisions at the University. Dimensions has an improved look and feel while retaining robust timekeeping functionality currently available in Kronos’ Workforce Central.

To facilitate a smooth transition to Dimensions, there is a Workforce Central production freeze as of October 1, 2023. No new client groups will be onboarded to Workforce Central until Dimensions is generally available. However, for existing client groups, new managers/supervisors and users can continue to be added or modified in Workforce Central during the implementation.
