SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Settlement Agreement and Release of All Claims Between The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida (HCPS) and Kronos Incorporated (Kronos) and Authorize the Chair to Execute the Agreement (Business Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The firm of Thompson, Sizemore, Gonzalez & Hearing, PA requests approval of the agreement and release of all claims to resolve a dispute between the School Board and Kronos.

As background, the Board approved the contract for Paychex Time and Attendance d.b.a. Stromberg to provide a time and attendance system to the School Board on May 20, 2008.  Prior to implementation, Kronos acquired Paychex.  Initially, Kronos was willing to install Stromberg product and software.  Negotiations came to an impasse after Kronos suggested HCPS move to a five-year agreement with Kronos software and equipment, where HCPS would incur additional cost and reduced services.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)
Kronos agrees to pay the School Board the sum of $900,000 in full and complete satisfaction of the dispute.
