The first time you log on after the upgrade, the application will prompt you to change your password. Your new password must be at least 3 characters in length and can be any combination of letters or numbers or both.
Steps
1 2 3 Access the Workforce Central log on page. Enter your user name and password in their designated fields. Click Log On or press Enter on the keyboard.

Transferring to a Different Labor Level or Work Rule this section is only applicable to the Royal ships.
If you work in a different department, should receive incentive pay, are working a concurrent job, are working call back, or have a combination of these events, then you need to record that information in the Time Stamp screen in Kronos at the time of the transfer. The following illustration highlights the Transfers drop-down list:
Kronos allows two types of transfers: Labor Level and Work Rule. It is possible to have a combination of the two types of transfers. Use the Search option to find and select a labor level and work rule. Recently selected labor levels and work rules automatically appear in the Transfers drop- down list.
