What Will Change?

What’s Changing with UKG WFM? 

The move to UKG WFM will bring significant changes to how UNM manages timekeeping. Here’s an overview of what to expect: 

For Employees 

  • New Interface: A modern, user-friendly system accessible via web or mobile devices. 
  • Simplified Leave Requests: Submit leave requests directly in UKG WFM, with real-time status updates. 
  • Accurate Time Tracking: Clock in and out through an integrated system that eliminates manual errors. 
  • Improved Accessibility: Ability to track hours and view schedules anytime, anywhere, using a mobile app. 

For Managers and Supervisors: 

  • Automated Approvals: Streamlined workflows for approving time and leave requests. 
  • Enhanced Scheduling Tools: Create and manage schedules more efficiently with built-in analytics. 
  • Transparency: Gain insights into team attendance, leave balances, and time-off trends with just a few clicks. 

For Timekeepers and Payroll Staff: 

  • Centralized Data: A single platform for all campuses, reducing inconsistencies and duplication of effort. 
  • Integration with Payroll: Direct syncing with payroll systems for faster and more accurate processing. 
  • Automated Reporting: Generate detailed reports on attendance, overtime, and compliance metrics without manual effort. 

What’s Changing? 

  • LoboTime: The current Kronos Workforce Central system will be demised in early  November 2025 when LoboTime transforms to the new UKG Pro Workforce Management system. We will continue to use the LoboTime name and those using other methods for timekeeping will transition to the new LoboTime. 
  • Banner Time Entry: The manual timekeeping process will no longer be used. 

What Stays the Same? 

  • University Policies: Leave accrual rates, overtime policies, and other timekeeping-related rules remain unchanged. 
  • Support Systems: UNM will provide robust support during and after the transition to ensure everyone can adapt smoothly. 

This transformation is about more than just technology; it’s about creating a better experience for all.
