  1. Attachments in Employee Access, Prof Development

    Employees that don't keep copies of their transcripts or grade reports need to have access to the attachments HR adds in their profile for credits. They can see their credits and classes in Employee Access, Employee Information, Personnel, Prof Development but the attachments don't show up. It would be extremely helpful if they could view any attachments here.

  2. Credit Card approvals

    I know the final approval has the option to "select all" transactions for approval. Why can't the Accounts Payable person have the same option? I am clicking on 200-250 transactions. Thank you.

  3. ER 27 for Retirees based on calendar month not pay period

    System is creating an ER27 adjusting the days and hours worked based on sub tracking (which is pay period) when retirees have to be reported by calendar month. We are submitting ER20's every month with the correct hours and days for the calendar month and the next month an ER 27 is adjusting it and it shouldn't be. We are deleting the ER27 prior to submitting them.

  4. Vendor profile - viewing inactive vendors

    It would be extremely helpful when pulling up vendors in Vendor Profile if inactive vendors could be differentiated in someway. Maybe make inactive vendors a different color or something easy to spot when typing in the vendor key. In order to see if a vendor is inactive while in profile you have to select that vendor to view the vendor information. This would also be helpful in Vendor Browse. Instead of looking at the columns for a Y or N an easier view would be to make them stand out like in employee browse. In HR all inactive employees show…

  5. Add Mass Change Assignment Breakdown utility to SN

    Employee Management has a utility Mass Change Assignment Breakdown Fields but it is missing from the Salary Negotiations utility menu. It would be very helpful to add this utility here since we rely on SN for the KS Licensed Personnel Report.

  6. Wisconsin Retirement System

    The current Wisconsin Retirement System requirements dictate that a percentage gets applied to each the employee benefit and deduction. Can there be a payroll exception added, similar to FICA and Medicare, that will identify if there is a pay code with one or the other, but not both?

  7. 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?

  8. changes to time off transactions

    It would be helpful to be able to expand changes that can be made to a time off transaction after it's been approved to include all fields. Sometimes since the Time Off field defaults to a certain code, employees forget to change that, but enter the correct reason code. In order to change it to the correct code (that actually goes against their balances), the entry needs to be deleted and reentered. If I were able to simply change the time off code, that would be a lot more efficent.

  13. Check History -

    Check History - Why is there no column listed with hours paid under check history? Check number, Gross Wages, Net Amount, Taxables, etc.... are all available but one of the most important items is hours and you can not view unless you click on the check.

  15. Being able to see time sheets for former employees without having to put them back on the org chart

    Often times for audits we have to pull reports for former employees showing hours worked during a specific time. I've found that if the person is a former employee, they will not get pulled into the report, nor can I see the time sheet if they are not listed on the org chart.
    I'd like to be able to have former employees pulled in to reports without having to add them to the org chart again.

  16. Expense Reimbursement - Verify Available Funds

    GOAL:
    The Verify Funds options should be made available in the Expense Reimbursement module. Without this function, reimbursement requests can be made without available funds. The enhancement would eliminate the possibility of processing payments without available funds and provide necessary controls in the software. Like any other process related to budget...purchase orders, check requests, etc....this option should be applied to Expense Reimbursements.

    In the meantime, if you haven’t tried this already, it could be the solution you’re looking for:

    The AP available funds setup in PaC > SA > FM Config > AP will govern Expense Reimbursements. It does so at the AP Processing level, so you won’t necessarily see the verification at the Expense Reimbursement phase. Neither will it verify at the Exp Reimbursement approval phase. Instead, you will noticed an * indicating that the account is over-budget.

    The system will, however, check…

  17. Report Print Options at All Levels

    The goal is to allow any/all pre-verifiers and approvers the options of printing the Reimbursement Report for their records is necessary. Currently only the employee submitting the Expense Reimbursement and AP staff have the capability of printing this report. Make the Print option button available to any pre-verify or approver throughout the Expense Reimbursement process.

  18. Correct Reimbursement Report Totals

    The goal of this enhancement is to accurately show the reimbursement total in the various fields within the Expense Reimbursement process and on the printed report. Currently the totals include the Direct Bill Amounts which is not made clear to the users/approvers. We would like to see a grand total for all expenses incurred by the employee less the Direct Bill items and then a final balance for the actual Reimbursement amount. It appears that Skyward is already capturing the reimbursement amounts separately in the activity screens but not clearly reporting them throughout the process.

  19. Employee Cost Report in Employee Management

    I would like to see a report under Employee Administration - Employee Management similar to the Employee Cost by Account Report in Salary Negotiations. This report provides all of the costing we need for staff budgeting but cannot be created from the "live" plans.

  20. true time account

    True time has the ability to enter two pay codes. However, it does not pull the correct account number from those pay codes. It pulls only from the primary. The system should be able to be set up to do this.
