  1. To have the option under datamining to print term code long description.

    To have the option to select and print a termination code long description. The report is only printing the short description and this can be difficult for some to understand the code.

  2. Fixed Assets

    Fixed Asset Attachments

    Our AP person scans invoices in for each check. However, when we go to create Fixed Assets from the invoices, the attachments do not come with. Therefore, we still have to look up individual vendors to print off invoices for our auditors. It would be nice to have the invoice attached to a specific asset and it is double work to scan and attach it to the Fixed Asset if you already do so for the check payments.

  3. Michigan passed PMLA (Paid Medical Leave Act) effective 3/29/19

    Need to be able to track non union employees who will accrue sick time. An eligible employee earns 1 hour of paid medical leave for every 35 hours they work. I wish it were that simple. As with any Act that is passed there are other stipulations that go along with this. An employee is not eligible for benefits under the PMLA if he/she averages fewer than 25 hrs per week in the immediately preceding calendar year or if he/she is employed for fewer than 25 weeks in a calendar year for a job scheduled for 25 weeks or fewer.

    Our State Compliance Department assured this functionality already exists to allocate this time in Skyward SMS 2.0:
    1. Customer should be able to create a new Time Off Code and have it Accrue if they are qualified.
    2. Time Off Code will have to be created with a code of PMLA or something to that sort
    3. Districts will have to keep track of individuals who work 35 or more hours per week to be eligible to accrue an hour of PMLA,

  4. Accounting adjustment for General Ledger

    We need an accounting adjustment routine for general ledger similar to the accounting adjustment routine we have in the payroll module.

  5. Sort option by "complete" worksheets in PAC

    Would be a huge efficiency if we could sort by "complete" in PAC. We have around 500 worksheets, so this would be a huge time saver and reduce errors by making sure all the "complete" worksheets are pulled into payroll.

  6. Track Probation

    Support Staff are eligible for time off after they have completed 90 days of employment. It would be helpful to have a field on the Salary Information/Term of Position screen which would calculate that date based on 90 days from their start date using the calendar in their Salary Information in Assignment Maintenance.

    Thank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We suggest that you try this instead:

    Navigate to Web Human Resources > Time Off > Setup > Utilities > Run the Probation Utility to Calculate Time Off Eligibility.

    Next, navigate to My Print Queue, select the Probation Utility to Calculate Time Off, which you just ran, then click on “Tasks”.

    Next, click on “Schedule This” to create a Scheduled Task with the selected utility (Probation Utility to Calculate Time Off).

    Thank you!

  7. W-2 address

    An employee can request changes to their address and their mailing address. We mistakenly thought that by changing the mailing address, it would change their W-2 address, but it does not. Several employees did not receive their W-2 because it had an old address.

    I am requesting that the employee be able to submit a W-2 address change as well. This would be great customer service for those that want a paper copy!

  8. Supplemental Pay / Other Earnings

    We need a way for employees or supervisors to submit Other Earnings or Supplemental Pay electronically other than through spread sheet and paper form. This electronic process would need an approval process much like requisitions but should be payable through the payroll processing and not accounts payable. Right now other districts as well as our district have to use paper forms and convert any spreadsheet to CSV files to import into payroll. Very labor intensive for supervisors, administrators, and the payroll department.

  10. Security Groupds - 1099M 3rd Party Import

    Per support ticket 3960037, appears this option is not driven by the security groups and is only available to users who have system wide access. This option needs to be added to the security group settings.

  11. create date

    Fixed Asset has a field call "Create Date". This field needs to be populated for all records regardless of how the record is created. Would greatly improve the ability to search for errors when you know that something happened within a date range.

  14. 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.

  15. Utility to Mass Add Active Screener by Employee Type

    Now that the process has changed in Skyward that someone has to be in a screener group and also be an active screeners . It would be helpful to have a utility that we could mass add active screener to a certain employee type (ex. principles, counselors, etc). If the utility is not an option at least have a way to update active screener from the screener group area.

  18. Add filter option for Time Off Transactions Details screen.

    Add filter option for Time Off Transactions Details screen. When preference is set to use larger font, viewing Time Off transactions doesn't show allocated, used, and left without scrolling. The column widths should only be as wide as that column allows (group, code, date, etc.) or it should only extend to width of the largest entry.

  19. calendar reports in Employee Management

    When I print the calendar report from employee management calendar codes, it would be nice to have a notation of how many days per month and the total in the year. I often have to prorate contracts and like the physical calendar to be printed to make notes on, etc. I'm often counting days on the calendar, so to save time it would be nice to have the count already there.

  20. ACA Tracker highlights

    The ACA Tracker report highlights changes. These changes do not export to excel. When viewing almost 2000 records, it would be easier to just view the changes. Viewing that many records on the screen is not very user friendly
