[nfbcs] Questions about the accessibility of Kronos

[Jeanine Lineback]

Thank you Loyd. That is helpful information. You are using it for the same purposes that my chapter members need to use it for. They have tried jaws, NVDA and voiceover on the iPhone. Interestingly enough, they’ve had the most luck with voiceover on the iPhone. However, they have still been unable to activate any of the table areas in order to enter their time. They are able to log in. They can usually read some information. It’s possible that they are on a completely different version of the system. I have forwarded your email to both of them so that they can refer to it and find out what version of Kronos they are using at their place of work.

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.

> 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.
