Workers at 11 hospitals are still experiencing payment issues from the Dec. 11 ransomware attack on Kronos Private Cloud, according to news reports.
The attack affected the companies' software platforms for scheduling, timekeeping, payroll and human resources.
A spokesperson for Ultimate Kronos Group told Becker's in an emailed statement that the company has mobilized all of its available resources to support customers and systems that were affected by the attack.
"We have organized our teams to bring as many customers live as possible. In light of the global pandemic, we have specialist teams dedicated to healthcare, first responders, and customers who rely on UKG for payroll processing," the spokesperson wrote. "These teams are in addition to separate teams that are simultaneously working on other customer groups in parallel."
Eleven hospitals and health systems still reporting payment issues the last couple of weeks:
1. Valleywise Health (Phoenix)
Employees at Valleywise Health are being paid the same amount they received Dec. 3, regardless of whether they worked more or less hours, The Arizona Republic reported Jan. 13.
Those who have worked fewer hours than the Dec. 3 paycheck were told that they may have to pay money back to the system, according to the Republic.
A 3 percent raise is also on hold.
2. Amita Health St. Joseph Medical Center (Joliet, Ill.)
Many staff members at Amita Health St. Joseph Medical Center are only receiving partial paychecks, NBC Chicago reported Jan. 12.
"Each one [of my checks] has been about $400 less," Colleen Dial, a nurse at the hospital, told NBC Chicago. "There's not backup. HR should have been there to make it right."
3. A.O. Fox Hospital (Oneonta, N.Y.)
