Time Off Options
Since I have to do the calculation manually I take the number of days worked divided by the total days available to work that month and multiply the number of leave hours to be awarded for sick leave.
IE 10 days worked/23 days available to be worked that month = .4347826086956522 / 11 sick hours leave available for accrual for an 8 hr employee = 4.78 or rounded to 4.75 Sick Leave Hours for that month.• I know that is a complex calculation as we have paras that only work 7.5 hrs and only earn 10 Sick Leave Hours.

Can you help me understand this idea better?
How often are you doing these manual calculations? Is there periods during the school year that you need to run these calculations more often than others?
Could you explain what would you expect the system to do differently to help with your calculations?

TImesheet Approvals
It would be helpful for timesheet approvers to be able to mass approve timesheets even if they are over or under the scheduled hours. It is time consuming to have to look at each time sheet if required to approve it.
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea.
It would be helpful for us to know what Timekeeping Rules you currently have set up at your district. There may be some adjustments you can make that would no longer require approvers to review each one that is over or under scheduled hours.
We suggest reviewing the options highlighted in the attached screenshot. If these options are set at your district it will prevent mass approval of timesheets.

True Time Exception Report
On the True Time Exception Report it would be helpful to have an option for employees who are not clocking in/out for lunch. We have quite a few number of employees who are doing this and we need to correct the issue with them.

Have you tried creating a Data Mining Report where the Total Hours worked are greater than a certain amount, but the lunch hour duration is less than a certain amount?
It could looks something like the attached example.

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

TRS ED45 able to enter Multiple records in the same month
TRS TX ED45 able to enter Multiple records in the same reporting month. For example is for subs that the ED45 records is created for each month. If an error is made and I need to delete multiple months I have to do an ED45 record for each month. Skyward only allows one ED45 record per month. I have to submit the record in the TRS portal. Then go into the ED45 change the information to the next month submit the record.
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea. How often do you find you need to make multiple adjustments in a single month?
It has been passed on to our State and Federal Compliance Department to review.

Requisition/Purchase Order comparison
We need a report to compare the prior year's purchase order totals by group to the current year's requisition totals by by group. For example, you can see that 1st grade spent $1,200 this year and then you can see that they have requisitioned $1,300 for next year. This would greatly help to be able to compare the information for reasonableness from year to year. It would be ideal for the information to be available to the approvers in the requisition approval screen. Attached are excel versions of a report that I created
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea and the example files.
Have you tried using the requisition/PO listing report? This report can sequence by group and run by Fiscal Year to review comparisons.
Thank you.

Adding a Room field within Skyward Business
I think it would be great to have a room number field within Skyward Business. Our IAM system syncs with Skyward and it would be great to pull the room number from one central source and push out all of this to our other downstream systems.
1 voteHave you tried creating a Custom Form with a new Field for Room Number? You could use Skycoder from Human Resources to attach the Custom Form to Screens and collect the Room Number.

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…

pseudo approval
When looking at historical pseudo approvals , we would be nice to know if the employee requested for a set amount or a percentage. We can see that they requested a deduction amount but we can't confirm if they wanted a set amount or a percentage withheld. (checking to see if we set it up correctly) Just a letter like "P" for percentage next to the word deduction - would be helpful.

Could you attach a screenshot of the area you are referring to in your product idea? There are several areas that fall under "pseudo approvals" and we want to make sure we fully understand your request.

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.

Please add a message after updating Purchase Orders
I would like to see a message after running a Batch to Open for Purchase Orders. Something that says "You have finished Updating your Batch to Open Purchase Orders". I am often interrupted during the process and not sure I have started it. So I run it again and of course get and error at that time.

Employee Access
Pseudo Approval: I have had employees ask if they would receive a system generated notification informing them as to the determination of their change request. I recommend to all employees to make direct deposit changes in Skyward, but once they are approved or denied they are not notified other than by me telling them. Could this be a process to which the employee would receive a system generated email upon approval or denial of the change request?

multiple overlays in sub tracking configuration
In the Substitute Tracking Configuration, Skyward only allows for one default overlay in the account distribution. We have a need to have at least a second option similar to the account distribution overlay in employee managment>additional pay codes. Without this, we have to change every single sub when pulled in from absence management to change the project code since we already the overlay with the object code. This adds another hour each day to processing sub tracking. While I understand that we could have account codes in Absence Management, the number of codes we have are a lot and that…

Provide a way to capture SSI and Medicare exempt wages
When someone has a certain work visa, they are exempt from Social Security and Medicare tax on their wages. It would be nice to have Skyward keep track of these earnings via an exempt pay code. When we run the quarterly 941 this would reduce those wages and not include them in those earnings categories. Right now this has to be done manually which can create a chance for a error(s) when completing the 941.

Invoice approval - payment type
