  2. W4 Lock-out

    Need a way to "lock-out" changes to the W4 screen. When the IRS issues a lock-in letter the employee W4 is not allowed to be changed until the letter is released. If the IRS instructions are not followed and the W4 get changed, the employer will be liable for paying the additional amount of tax that should have been withheld.

  4. Bolding out the Totals: Section on a 1099 report

    We have over 350 pages on our 1099 report. We need the ability to look at all vendors who spend over $600. It would be convenient and time efficient if the "Totals" for each vendor were bold to jump out at us better. Any chance you can accommodate by the end of the year?

  7. TRS Reports

    We need a report that we can run to tell us how many days & hours have been reported for any employee(s) per month or school year to TRS. TRS has identified some of our employees that had no days or hours reported for several months. I don't have a way to run a report to check on all employees. These hours are reported on RP20 & RP25 reports in different months. The days/hours are not in one single place.
    This is a new problem, but one that I have always been concerned about with that first year since the…

  8. Time Off Request in Excess of Hours Scheduled

    Is there a way or could you implement a way for employees to not be able to request time off when they have already worked their scheduled hours? For instance: Jane is schedule to work 40 hours per week. She leave 2 hours early on Tuesday, but ends up working an additional 2 hours through out the course of the week. Therefore she did not need to enter a time off request. Since she has entered one and it was approved she will now earn 3 hours of comp time.

  9. Print PO's with signature from PU/VO

    It takes far too many clicks to print a signature on just one PO. Right now the only way to do it without needing a signature password is to try from Mass Print PO's. If it has been approved there should be a way that when your print your purchase orders from View My Purchase Orders (PU/VO) that it shows the signature on them

  11. To have the option in a pay code for OT to be Yes and Comp Time No.

    I have more situations in which a primary code will earn comp time. Then an extra duty code will earn overtime. However in Skyward I do not have the option to pay overtime without the comp time being marked as Yes. I can not pay both overtime and comp time for the same pay code. I would like to have the option changed to Over time Yes and select Yes or No for Comp Time so that this will pull into worksheets correctly.

  12. Time Sheet Adjustments Waiting My Approval

    Supervisors would like a Widget: Time Sheets Adjustments Waiting My Approval. This would allow Supervisors to see adjustments that need to be made, from their dashboard, and then click the link to go straight to making the adjustments. Right now we have to go and find the adjustments.

  15. Mass Process - Pay Records

    PAC Mass Process - Clone/Add needs the additional option to create the pay records with an hourly rate. Creating just by daily rate does nothing for payment of extra duty assignments which are paid based on the employee normal hourly rate.

  16. Utility to Purge Applicants that have not activity for a set date range

    We would like to be able to purge not only old applications but to purge Applicants that have become dormant. A utility to that allow any applicants that has not made any updates for a period of time to be purged. We currently have more than 30k applicants in our database. Trying to maintain this on an individual level does not seem effective.

  17. Add an option to void a check using original dates.

    It would be much easier to void a check with the option to void using original dates vs. having to find the dates.

  18. True Time: Note for who they sub for

    It would be nice if a feature could be add to True Time where under certain groups you could have a pop up window where a person could click on who they are subbing for. Example: John Smith is subbing for Jane Doe at the Middle School, he clocks in, selects the MS Code and then a window pops up and he could select Jane Doe from the list of staff at the MS.

  19. Specific pay dates for Extra Curricular Contracts with 2 pays

    We have 200+ contracts that pay only 2 or 6 times, on non consecutive pay dates. For example, an athletic season paid in the middle and end of the season. We need an option when entering contracts to specify exact dates for the system to pay the contracts when they are not consecutive pay-dates.

  20. Online Form - Add view: Not Completed Online Forms (to include In Progress and Not Started)

    We use Online Forms to send out contracts and addendums to employees and to collect electronic signatures. Currently, we have 20 Online Forms set up for the different contracts and employee groups. Within the Online Form there are two Views, In Progress Online Forms and Not Started Online Forms, that can be used to email reminders to employees. We would like an additional view added, Not Completed Online Forms, that includes both In Progress and Not Started Online Forms. This way mass email reminders could be sent to both sets of people at the same time; currently, we are sending…
