You can’t fully use MyTime Kroger without signing in, but you can use the FEED mobile app and smart notification settings so you stay updated on schedules and company news with minimal logins. The goal is to let notifications do the work while you quickly confirm details when needed.
What MyTime Notifications Can (and Can’t) Do
MyTime Kroger is built on UKG/Kronos and is designed as a secure employee scheduling and timekeeping system, so most actions (accepting shifts, fixing punches, time‑off requests) still require a proper login. However, Kroger’s FEED mobile app and related tools can push key schedule updates, company news, and HR alerts to your phone so you don’t have to manually check MyTime several times a day.
These notifications help Kroger employees, store associates, and department leads stay ahead of last‑minute shift changes, new schedules, training reminders, policy updates, and communication from management.
Set Up FEED Mobile for Quick Alerts
The easiest way to stay updated with minimal logins is to use the official FEED mobile app that connects to MyTime and other Kroger associate tools.
- Download FEED Mobile
- Open the Google Play Store or Apple App Store on your personal phone.
- Search for “FEED Mobile” by The Kroger Co. and install the official app for associates.
- Sign in once with SecureWEB
- Log in using your EUID (Enterprise User ID) and SecureWEB password, the same credentials used for MyTime.
- After this first sign‑in, you usually stay logged in longer on mobile than on a web browser, so you won’t need to enter credentials as often.
- Turn on push notifications
- In FEED, go to Settings or Notifications and allow push notifications for schedule, news, and company updates.
- Also enable notifications in your phone settings so the app can alert you without opening it every time.
Once this is done, FEED can ping you when new schedules are posted, when there’s store news, or when links to MyTime tools are relevant, even if you haven’t manually logged into the MyTime web portal that day.
Use FEED to Glance at Schedules Without Full Web Login
You still authenticate through Kroger once, but you can then glance at your MyTime schedule and notifications quickly from FEED without going through the full browser login flow each time.
- Check your MyTime schedule (E‑Schedule) from the FEED schedule tile to see upcoming shifts, departments, and start/end times.
- View timecard summaries and punches to catch missed punches or errors before the end of the week.
- See notifications about schedule changes, training, skill updates, and new opportunities posted to your account.
This works well for associates who just want a quick “What days do I work?” or “Did my shift change?” view on their phone without re‑entering credentials into a desktop browser every time.
Turn On Email and In‑App Notifications Strategically
Besides push alerts, Kroger tools and the mobile app can also use email notifications and in‑app notices so you catch important updates even when you ignore push alerts.
- Opt into email alerts for account updates, schedule posting windows, and HR communications where available in your Kroger profile settings.
- Keep an eye on the Notifications or Messages area inside MyTime/FEED for items like missed punch exceptions, time‑off request responses, and schedule confirmations.
- Adjust notification types so you see critical workforce updates (schedule, pay, benefits, timekeeping) but don’t get overwhelmed by low‑priority messages.
This notification mix lets store associates, cashiers, department heads, and overnight stockers stay informed about work hours, labor scheduling, vacation approvals, and policy changes without constantly logging into the MyTime website.
Best Practices for Kroger Associates
To make MyTime notifications genuinely useful (and compliant with Kroger policies), Kroger employees should treat FEED and MyTime as their single source of truth for work scheduling.
- Always confirm that you’re using the official portals: mytime.kroger.com, kroger‑sso.prd.mykronos.com, and the real FEED Mobile app from Kroger Co.
- Use notifications as reminders, but verify details for things like overtime, time‑off balances, and pay‑related corrections inside MyTime itself when needed.
- If you stop receiving alerts, check FEED notification settings, phone OS permissions, and, if needed, report issues to the MyTime help desk or store management.
Used this way, MyTime Kroger plus FEED Mobile give Kroger associates a near real‑time view of shifts, timecards, leave requests, and HR communication, while keeping actual logins to a minimum and still protecting secure employee data.
