  2. Payroll Deposit Statements

    Payroll Deposit Statements - Allow the individual PDF Deposit statements to be posted into Employee access for each payroll, similar to W2's. It would be nice for employees to see the time off and YTD totals for each payroll. The current view in employee access both Show Check and Show Check with YTD totals are not as clean as the PAC Payroll: Deposits for each payroll.

  3. PO Atatched to Multiple Credit Card Transactions

    It would be a huge time saving message if we were able to attach a PO to multiple transactions at one time.

  4. Electronic Survey for Year End Special Payroll in Employee Access

    We would like to provide an electronic delivery option for the year end teacher payroll where teachers have the option to select lump sum or monthly payroll for summer payroll.

    Currently we use a form to collect that information and then use that information to create two payrolls (lump or monthly).

    We would like a delivery option similar to the W2 option asking employee to choose between paper or electronic delivery. In this case, they would select payroll for lump or monthly and then that collection of data would create two separate payrolls.

  6. True Time Worksheet Import Verification

    I would like to see dates beside each week's entries for Regular hours/Overtime hours. It is very hard to determine which line on the report matches up to which work week.

  7. PSERS Demographic Address Reporting

    For the PSERS reporting--- when entering an employee into the system you add in their home address information. The address then auto-fills into the retirement- demograph tab but in address 1 but then require manual entry to Address 3. According to a service call with Skyward, this is the only option as it has to be in address 3 for the PSERs reporting. It would be helpful if Skyward could reroute from Address 1 to Address 3 automatically if that is where the information is required.

    When you run the PSERS Member Demographic Record submission, the system takes the Address 1 in the profile and reports it in Address 3 in the maintain and the file. No manual edits need to be done in the Employee Profile to move the address to Address 3. The system takes care of that during processing for the Member Demographic submission.

    If assistance is required, please submit a Service Call and our State Reporting Rep will be able to assist you.

    Thank you!

  8. Check History Printing multiple checks at a time

    It would be nice to be able to print multiple checks at one time instead of having to do one at a time. Maybe a date range of checks to be printed?

  10. Balance Sheet Detail Report

    Currently you can print a report for the balance sheet assets but it does not allow you to include the details of each transaction. I would like to see an option to include the details of each transaction on the report showing what makes up each transaction for CR, AP, PR, and JE's. Not just the summary update total.

  11. Auto Populate W2's Issued

    When employees process their own tax returns, like through Turbo Tax, they can choose to have their W2 auto populate once a few fields are filled out. Skyward W2's do not auto populate.

  12. PR1500

    There seems to be a glitch in the new Texas reporting PR1500. The Bilingual/ESL/Special Education field is a required field. The system will not allow you to proceed without choosing one or the other.

  13. Provide the ability for users to elect to hide SSN when running the Accumulated Sick Leave & Vacation Report

    With this report being generated and possibly sent to employees with no need to see SSN, it would be great if could to hide SSN when running the Accumulated Sick Leave & Vacation Report. Similar functionality exists elsewhere in the software and it makes sense to add it here as well.

  14. Employee Access/Ethnicity

    When allowing employees to change their Ethnicity in Employee Access, instead of Hispanic/Latino?, two separate boxes would be most beneficial. One box that states Hispanic Latino and another that states Non Hispanic/Latino

  15. Create a report to comply with new MN Wage Theft Law, new form

    Create a report to comply with new MN Wage Theft Law, new form.
    New employee form requires notice to employee of wage change or any change to pay. We can do this individually for new hires but for mass changes due to contract changes it would be helpful to have a utility to create a form from skyward to send to the employee.

  17. Cooperative contract auto send the PO to the cooperative

    Vendors who have a cooperative contract tied to them to auto send a copy of the PO to the cooperative for verification. Much like we are able to auto send a copy of the PO to the vendor we could auto send a copy of the PO to the cooperative based on the contract used.

  18. EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT

    When the pre-verifer is selected on the first screen of entry it does not hold. After the expense details are added and saved it either defaults back to no pre-verification is needed or a previously selected pre-verifier. In addition, the optional pre-verifier field should default to no pre-verification needed. If the user had a previously selected pre-verifier it holds that data on their next entry. This is not always going to be that same person so the chance of this getting routed to the wrong person is high.

  19. Swap the position of Hire Date and Birth Date on Employee Profile Screen

    Birth Date should follow age on Employee profile screen. I look at age and assume the date following it is birth date. Swap the position of Hire Date and Birth Date.

  20. Add district option to hide Credit Card number from Credit Card Trans Rpt

    Currently there is a option on the Credit Card Transaction Report screen to show the card number as a Full Number, Last Four Digits or Do Not Display. We'd like a district option to remove the choice of displaying the Full Number on the Credit Card Transaction Report. We instruct staff, with access to this, to choose either "last four digits" or "do not display", but they can select the "full number" option. To add a layer of security we would like to remove this option for all users in our district. WP\AP\CC\RE\CT
