e-STAR — Electronic Scheduling Time and Attendance Record
The conversion from the Kronos timekeeping system to e-STAR, originally planned for April 19, has been postponed until a later date to give staff members some relief during this challenging time.
Be on the lookout for email updates on the launch. The e-STAR system supports staff schedule preparation, self-scheduling capabilities, and payroll accuracy. It also strengthens emergency preparedness by providing real-time staff presence and availability information.
Employees will be able to view available MyTime and Extended Illness Bank hours through e-STAR. Nursing staff will use the Advanced Scheduler module to identify staffing needs.
