KBS utilizes the KBSPresence mobile timekeeping software, allowing employees to accurately log their hours and stay informed on employment-related information via their personal mobile devices. Employees are eligible for reimbursement for cell phone use based on local laws.

Additional benefits include limited medical insurance with virtual access to board-certified physicians, a 401k program with company matching, a flexible quick pay option for hourly employees, and access to Perkspot discounts on various lifestyle needs.
