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.

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.

Identify Teaching Postings with Subject Specificity
We would like to be able to add the subject area to the position in a posting. For example, a math position would also have "Algebra I" or "Geometry" included in the name of the position, not just the body of the posting.

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.

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?"

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.

Reset All in Account Management
The ability to "Reset All" filters in the accounts screens instead of resetting each individually. I have to scroll back and forth to make sure there are no other items with a filter on when I want to do a new search.

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…

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.

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.

Employee Pseudo Approval Email Confirmations
When approving or denying items in the Employee Pseudo Approval section, it would be great if an email was sent to the employee confirming the approval or showing them the reason for denial. The email could go to the employee's email address(es) on file.

Direct Deposit Notification Change Emails Causing Alarm
We have enabled the auto email notification to send to employees when their direct deposit has changed.
However, the system sends an email when you
1. Are setting up a new employee (they had no direct deposit in the system, and now they do since you just got their direct deposit set up)
2. When you change their direct deposit to print instead of "Do not print direct deposit on check run." We commonly change this when the employee is leaving as we cut off their access to employee access.This causes a lot of undue alarm in people. Is…
16 votesAfter researching the two issues detailed in the
Product Idea we have some feedback.We will not be considering #1 for development. Best practices in security are constantly changing and bad actors become more resourceful and creative. This is a valid valid email event to me. If a Bad Actor adds a direct deposit number when there wasn’t supposed to be one, that would be something our users would want to be notified about. Even if it does cause alarm, better to be safe then sorry.
We looked into #2 and are not able to duplicate this issue in any environment. We will need to know the exact steps you took to recreate the event.
Thank you.

3rd party time off import dates
During the 3rd party import for substitute tracking/time off, you have the "Acquire Data Using Web Services" button. The dates in this section default to 01/01/1900 and 12/31/2999. I have no problem typing in the dates, but I have seen several people struggle trying to use the calendar and scroll through to the correct date....which could take a while since it is a long ways off. It would be nice if it just defaulted to the current date and let people change the dates as they need it.

Expand Pay Record Import to include Benefits/Deductions for Existing Pay plus Funding Allocation for the New Assignment
Within Human Resources > Payroll > Assignment Export/Payroll Import (WH\PA\AE), On the export/import screen there are 2 options for importing pay records. There is an issue when exporting/importing multiple assignments with the same pay code during the same fiscal year. The first option imports the correct funding but drops most of the benefits and deductions. The second option imports the benefits and deductions assigned to the existing pay records, but prorates the funding allocations from both assignments and creates split funding. I would like to request a combination of the two:
Import the benefits and deductions assigned to the existing…

allow to override sending an email to employee and approver in True Time
We have it set up that approvers receive email notification when a timesheet, TS, has been submitted and employee receives email notification when a TS is denied.
Sometimes Payroll has to deny sheets to make corrections such as a pay code used or deny and resubmit so it catches the time off because employee submitted before the TO pulled in.
In these cases we make all the changes, mostly because by the time we get to them there isn't a lot of time to wait for the employee to fix, resubmit, and have them re-approved. When the email goes out…6 votesThank you for submitting this idea.

Add School Year to Requests Waiting for Approval View
I would like to request that a column be added to the Requests Waiting for Approval screen to show the School Year that the approval is for. The data is available on the request, but users need to drill into the details currently in order to see it. Having it on the main view screen would allow our users to be more efficient.

Add a TRS step field on Salary Hourly Mass Change to be able to give different amounts to different years of experience
We are beginning to give raises based on years experience since HB3. We are giving teachers with 0-5 years experience one dollar amount and anyone 6-25 years experience a different amount. I am doing an export and import so I don't have to individually give every teacher a raise but it would be so much easier to just be able to filter this on the Salary/Hourly mass change and add the dollar amounts to the specific years of experience.
