Homebase Timekeeping System
As you know, Kronos has been hit by a cyber attack and is currently unavailable. Kronos is used for timekeeping (hours worked, PTO, leave, etc.) at DMAR, DMAT, DMTN, DLNT, DMCN, DSCN, and all DMMI and DPAM locations.
Associates do not need to reset their password – Kronos is unavailable. Unfortunately, we are not sure when Kronos will have the situation resolved for the global companies, including DENSO, that use their timekeeping system.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
TEMPORARY SYSTEM
In response to the Kronos issue, DENSO is implementing a temporary system for timekeeping called Homebase. Homebase is a simple software application that allows non-exempt associates and team leaders to enter their time clock in/out.
- This temporary process is for non-exempt associates and team leaders only. This includes office non-exempt associates.
- Managers of Exempt associates will need to enter their associates’ exceptions (PTO, leave) into EPIQS. Exempt associates should notify their manager of exceptions.
- Temporary associates at DMMI will need to use the attached paper form to track their time, and their managers will have to enter their time into EPIQS.
- Temporary associates at all other impacted sites will follow established process through their agency.
RECORD YOUR TIME
There are 2 methods for non-exempt and team leaders to capture time worked, starting Monday, Dec. 20.
