[nfbcs] Questions about the accessibility of Kronos

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

At the Library of Congress we use Chronos Web TA version 4.2 to request leave, report hours worked and other functions. We don't use it to sign in and out each day; just report number of hours. 
I used to use it with Window-Eyes and IE 11, but now use it with JAWS 2018 and Chrome. 
Most of the blind employees here at NLS are not entering their own data into this system, because we still also use paper sign-in sheets. 
I might be able to talk someone through use of what we have, but I'm not even sure whether we are talking about the same system. It requires facility with the use of HTML tables, creation of new rows into these tables at each pay period where they will be used, and sometimes clicking on the correct link to change one type of leave or work time to another. I haven't found anything in the parts of the system that I have used to be inaccessible, but it can be complicated.

Subject: [nfbcs] Questions about the accessibility of Kronos

Hi, I have a question. I’m asking on behalf of several chapter members who are employed for a company here in Austin that use the Kronos workforce management software. They are having difficulty using it with screen reader technologies. They have tried  NVDA, Jaws, and voiceOver.  Do any  of you  use Kronos and if so, what has been  your experience? Any tips or recommendations are welcome.
I can provide more information about the difficulties they’ve had if anyone is familiar or has experience with the software. 
Thank you,

Jeanine Lineback
