    Thank you for submitting the product idea!


    Could you expand on the use case for this?


    Would this be used for employees who work in multiple buildings and have different supervisors, so they would be submitting time off requests to different supervisors based on their building they are working at?


    Thank you for your input!

  2. Denial Note for Time off

    When a Time off request is denied it would be nice to note to employee WHY it was denied -- i.e. Sick time must be taken in one hour increments, so your request for 1.5 hours is denied.

    Thank you for submitting the product idea! We are looking into the ability to add denial notes when a time off request is sent back to the user.


    The idea will remain open for continued voting and feedback.


    Thank you!

  3. Wrong PSD code prints in box 20 on our W2's

    We have been informed by our local tax bureau, Berks Earned Income Tax Bureau that the PSD code in box 20 of our W2's should have the PSD code where our employees work not where they live. This makes it easier for them to locate and collect the money for people working outside the county. They said this was changed about 10 years ago but we are still using the wrong PSD code on our W2's. Could this please be corrected before year end of 23?

  4. 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.

    Thank 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. 


    This idea will remain open for the Skyward Community and other TX districts to show their support. 


    Thank you!

  5. 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.

  6. TRS RP25 records clone button

    TRS REP25 Records Clone Button
    When I need to make the same correction for several months it would be nice to have a clone button so all the information does not have to be manually entered. It would be nice just to change the reporting month to submit the record.

  7. Need Another Option in Pseudo Approval

    When approving employee submitted address changes, if someone else is living at the same address, a window pops up asking if you want to change the address for all people at the current address. The only option is OK or cancel. We need an option to say NO, do not update other occupants of the address so we can approve just that person, not other household members.

  8. Default tax election

    When you are setting up a new employee, in the "Tax-W4" tab there is a checkbox that says "2020 or After W-4". It should now default to having that checkbox check since all new employees that are added should be with the new form at this point.

  10. Send Advice of Deposit notices to multiple vendor contacts

    In this day of cyber financial attacks, it would be helpful to be able to designate at least 2 individuals who will receive advice of deposit notices. Perhaps this feature would help mitigate malicious intent?

  11. Need to Update Multiple True Time Rule Sets at the Same Time

    When updating timesheets (HR\PA\CP\TT) each rule set must be updated one at a time. This is extremely time consuming. We need a "select all" option, or some way to update multiple time sheets at the same time. We can then run reports to find any discrepancies, rather than trying to review each individual rule set before updating.

  13. Character Limit Increase for First and Middle Name Fields

    Increase character limits for first and middle name fields to 30 to match the character limit of last name. Currently they are limited to 15 characters and we are unable to enter the employee's full legal name.

    It would be great if we could customize character limits for fields, but if not, then an increase for these 2 fields would be great.

  16. Invoice Entry Filter Button

    In the invoice entry screen when you are in the "Add Accounts" pop-up it would be very helpful to have an account filter button. This would allow you to figure out account numbers that you don't know the full string of numbers. For example you know that it is for the high school (location 400) and that it is for volleyball (162121) but you are not sure about the object then it will let you filter the things you do know and help you narrow down to the account you need. At this time I need to open a separate…

  17. Check request notifications

    In the expense reimbursements, there is an option to send a summary email notification for invoices waiting to be generated. This is a great feature but also be VERY beneficial if we could have the same option for check requests. This would then have both programs working the same way, not really an enhancement here but a system function issue. Thanks for considering.

  18. Employee Access, Check Estimator

    It would be helpful if the Check Estimator did not include deductions that have termed /expired. There is no use in putting an end date in the profile if we have to delete it from their profile for them not to show up on the check estimator. Most times, employees have no idea what benefits they have. It's nice for us to see past codes. But we have to delete them for the employee not to see them.

  19. Color Code options for Employee Profile and other menus.

    In Employee Profile, an option to customize the color of each tab that appears on the left hand side (Employee, Position, Tax, etc) would be nice. It would be great to have "Employee" in purple, "Position" in green, "Tax" in Red etc. It would be a lot easier and faster to find the option that I am looking for.
