About this Role:

The GovTA Developer will support the modernization of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Human Resources Information Technology (HRIT) ecosystem by enhancing and optimizing the GovTA (Government Time & Attendance) system built on UKG/Kronos technology. The developer will design, configure, integrate, and maintain GovTA modules to streamline timekeeping, compliance, workforce management, and HR operations across HHS operating divisions.





The role requires deep knowledge of UKG/Kronos Workforce Central/Dimensions, federal HR/pay regulations, and secure enterprise integration within a federal environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Configure and customize GovTA modules including pay rules, work rules, accruals, schedules, approval workflows, and timecard functionality. Build HyperFind queries, Genies, and optimized business workflows to support HHS HR operations. Develop enhancements to improve HRIT functionality, user experience, automation, and compliance. Design and maintain integrations using Kronos Workforce Integration Manager (WIM), REST APIs, and file-based interfaces. Collaborate with interfacing teams to ensure accurate data flow between GovTA and HR/payroll systems such as HR Connect, NFC, and internal HHS applications. Perform SQL-based data validation, troubleshooting, and reporting. Utilize Java, JavaScript, JSP, or other UKG-supported technologies to customize front-end and back-end components. Develop scripts, automation tasks, and API connections to support modernization objectives. Maintain system documentation, technical diagrams, and data mapping. Apply knowledge of OPM regulations, federal leave categories, alternative work schedules (AWS), FLSA, comp time, and telework policies. Ensure GovTA configurations comply with federal audit, security, and timekeeping requirements. Support Access Control and RBAC configurations aligned with federal security standards. Participate in Agile ceremonies, sprint planning, and backlog refinement. Work closely with HRIT leadership, HR functional SMEs, and HHS program teams to gather requirements and translate them into technical solutions. Support testing lifecycle activities (unit, integration, UAT, regression). Assist in legacy-to-modern Kronos/UKG migrations as part of the broader HRIT modernization roadmap.
