UVA Health is moving to a unified time and attendance platform, bringing both the University Medical Center and UVA Community Health together on a single instance of UKG. This transition upgrades the legacy UKG Workforce Central, formerly Kronos, system and modernizes how our teams manage time and attendance across the organization.

University Medical Center team members will begin submitting time punches in the upgraded UKG system on Jan. 17, 2027. UVA Community Health team members will follow, beginning time entry in UKG on Feb. 21, 2027. Training and resources will be available to help team members prepare, with details shared via email and posted on the UKG/Kronos page on the HIT intranet.

Why are we changing?

The move to UKG improves the day‑to‑day experience for both leaders and team members. This upgrade will deliver a consistent, intuitive interface, and simplify routine tasks. With a mobile‑optimized design and a clean, user‑friendly interface — UKG will be flexible and easy to use across all work environments.

Throughout this transition, the focus remains on continuity and accurate timekeeping. Current policies and processes will be preserved wherever possible, and UKG is configured to closely reflect today’s workflows while introducing new features and capabilities. This approach improves efficiency, strengthens business processes, and establishes a strong foundation for future improvements.
