pseudo approval
When looking at historical pseudo approvals , we would be nice to know if the employee requested for a set amount or a percentage. We can see that they requested a deduction amount but we can't confirm if they wanted a set amount or a percentage withheld. (checking to see if we set it up correctly) Just a letter like "P" for percentage next to the word deduction - would be helpful.

Expand Attachments function to show more than 20 records
Please do this ASAP!! We are trying to go paperless and are scanning old documents into the Attachments area of the Employee Profile but you are only allowed to view 20 records at a time. This way, if there are more than 20 documents, if you try to sort by title or date, only page 1 sorts and the items on page 2 don't sort with it so you would have to go in and sort page by page to find things. Almost every other field in Skyward allows you to expand what shows on a page up to 2000…

It would be great if you could print Copy A that is submitted to the IRS for 1099's, if there is an issue efile you can submit via mail
It would be great if Copy A of 1099s can be printed from skyward. If there is an issue wit e-file with the IRS there is an option to print instead of handwrite all 1099's
4 votesThank you for submitting this idea. Our Federal Reporting and Compliance Department reviewed it and provided the following response:
Because Copy A is only valid when printed on specialized paper forms obtained directly through the IRS, it is in the best interest of our users to not offer that particular printing option since submitting the forms on the wrong paper could result in penalties from the IRS.
Please reference this website for more detailed information: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1099nec.pdf

Please add ability to mass change position amount in Position Assignments Mass Change Utility.
We use an amount on our stipend positions because they are the same for everyone that gets that stipend. This year we raised the amounts for some stipends. I had to manually edit each position for each campus in order to update the amount on the position because on the position-mass change utility, there is no place to update the amount. I would like a field to be added to the position -mass change utility that will update the amount on positions selected.

Allow text messaging option in addition to email for alerts and updates.
Allow text messaging option in addition to email for alerts and updates. For example in Time Off, Fast Track; notification could be received via text to alert that a request has been submitted.
3 votesThank you for submitting this Product Idea. We researched implementing Text Message within our system and determined the scope of development did not align with our Roadmap vision.
We do have Push Notifications for some areas in our Business Suite:
Time Off: Request Awaiting Approval, Request Approved, and Request Denied
True Time: Time Sheet Awaiting Approval, Time Sheet Denied
Finance: Requisitions Awaiting Approval, Check Requests Awaiting Approval, and Credit Card Transaction Awaiting Approval
To enable these Push Notifications please navigate to: Product Setup / System Administration / Push Notification Queue/ Configuration (PS\SA\NQ).
We will evaluate implementing Fast Track pus notification as part of researching this Product Idea.

Pulling Reports on Historical Data when an Employee has changed Employee Type
I would like to see some enhancements on historical payroll data reports.
I want to pull a report showing the total payroll amounts by Employee Type and pay code type. HOWEVER, I want the report to show those that were in that employee type during the time frame of the payrolls.
For example, in 2020-21, Susie Smith was a paraprofessional. In 2021-2022, she became a teacher. I want to be able to pull a report for 2020-21 showing employees that were paras at the time. Right now, the system only pulls current employee types. So if I need to pull…2 votesThank you for submitting this Product Idea.

Mass assign work schedules - ask for confirmation prior to update
When mass assigning work schedules in TT, when viewing the report after hitting run, ask the question "Are you sure you want to commit to changes?" This is asked all over the place when making changes in employee management.
3 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We'd like to see more support for this idea from the Skyward User Community prior to considering it for development.
This idea will remain open for continued voting and commenting.
In the meantime, we suggest clicking "Report" to preview the mass assignment changes in the report first, and then clicking "Run" to commit changes. There will be a pop-up once you hit "Run" that says "Are you sure you want to Mass Assign the following work schedule for MM/DD/YYYY to MM/DD/YYYY to the selected employees?"
Thank you!

Re-open Credit Card transaction in batch status
It would be nice if at the district office level, we could re-open/unlock a credit card transaction that someone has hit the "approved" button on. There are many times when someone makes a mistake and would like to fix, but only one of us in the district offices can do it through PAC on the back end. I would like to be able to open it back up for them to fix on the web side.

Allow Time Off to be allocated to 2 different pay codes
Allow Time Off to be allocated to 2 different pay codes. Example: an employee that works as a bus driver and an aide will need time off for both pay codes and there is not great option to do this.

TImesheet Approvals
It would be helpful for timesheet approvers to be able to mass approve timesheets even if they are over or under the scheduled hours. It is time consuming to have to look at each time sheet if required to approve it.
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea.
It would be helpful for us to know what Timekeeping Rules you currently have set up at your district. There may be some adjustments you can make that would no longer require approvers to review each one that is over or under scheduled hours.
We suggest reviewing the options highlighted in the attached screenshot. If these options are set at your district it will prevent mass approval of timesheets.

True Time Exception Report
On the True Time Exception Report it would be helpful to have an option for employees who are not clocking in/out for lunch. We have quite a few number of employees who are doing this and we need to correct the issue with them.

Have you tried creating a Data Mining Report where the Total Hours worked are greater than a certain amount, but the lunch hour duration is less than a certain amount?
It could looks something like the attached example.

Taxable Life Insurance Warning
There should be a warning that pops up on your first payroll in December (or even all payrolls in December) that reminds you to include the taxable benefit for group life insurance over $50K. This is a very common error that could be mostly avoided if there was a small pop-up that just reminded you to do it. For those that do it each payroll it would be a small annoyance, but for the people that do it once a year it could save a tone of time. Both for the employer and Skyward support during a very busy time…

Pre-populate pay period/payroll dates
When doing the payroll processing, you need to enter the payroll date, posting date, pay period, etc all manually. These dates could easily be automatically filled in. the way I would suggest to do this is to use the "Run Numbers" that are currently in the payroll system and just add some additional settings that would like you select the frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc). Based on the frequency selected and a calendar the system could determine what the dates would be. This would help everyone that does payroll to be more efficient and less likely to have a typing…

Ability to RE-NAME rate table codes in Sub Tracking
We would like to RE-NAME some of our rate table codes in Sub Tracking. In other areas of the software I rename deduction/benefit/pay codes/Employee Management Plans with a "Z" in front of it, so that it doesn't even appear in my browse. Thank you for your consideration. I submitted SC 4911174 and it's not available and they suggested submitting an idea.
5 votesThank you for submitting this idea.
The Rate Tables are a combination of Employee Type & Sub Type. Have you tried changing the Employee Type Code and/or the Sub Type Code to re-name one of the rate table codes in Sub Tracking?
Thank you.

Under SBAA it would be nice to be able to print a group of check detail reports individually
Currently I can print a report under check request report. But it prints all of the checks in the range on one sheet. It would be SO HELPFUL if it gave us the option to print each check report separately rather than as a group

Limit TO by code and employee type
Our teacher’s group has contractual cap for personal days. No more than 3% from this group can use a personal leave on any given day. Right now I need to pull a time tracker report and manually crosscheck the number of requests. It is very time consuming and it would be helpful to have the system prevent entering requests when the limit is reached.

TRS ED45 able to enter Multiple records in the same month
TRS TX ED45 able to enter Multiple records in the same reporting month. For example is for subs that the ED45 records is created for each month. If an error is made and I need to delete multiple months I have to do an ED45 record for each month. Skyward only allows one ED45 record per month. I have to submit the record in the TRS portal. Then go into the ED45 change the information to the next month submit the record.
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea. How often do you find you need to make multiple adjustments in a single month?
It has been passed on to our State and Federal Compliance Department to review.

Unsubmitted Timesheet - Notification should also send email to employee.
With the new enhancement in the TT Timekeeping Rule > Timesheet submission, if we check 'Display Notification Alert to Employee' and set a threshold (for us we entered '2 weeks'), it places the yellow-circle+exlclamation point on the employee's Employee Access toolbar, but in our district, no one is seeing this very small notification. It is basically meaningless. Can this same functionality be taken one step further and have the system auto-generate an email to the employee stating they have unsubmitted timesheets? Thank you
