  1. Mass assigning the Employment Type & SOC Field, allowing datamining of these 2 fields

    Allow mass assigning of the Employment Type and SOC field that was recently added. Also to be able to choose these in a Data Mine Report. Currently there is no way to see if anyone has been missed. This reports as a blank on the Unemployment tab and this would be helpful to see who was missed or didn't have a code.

  2. Have the ability to pull time sheet reports on former employees without having to reactivate them

    We have had several instances where we've had to pull time sheet reports on former employees. There's no way to include those people without having to reactivate them in profile. I'd like to see in the report ranges a way to request active/inactive or both like most other payroll reports.

  3. 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…

  4. Swap the position of Hire Date and Birth Date on Employee Profile Screen

    Birth Date should follow age on Employee profile screen. I look at age and assume the date following it is birth date. Swap the position of Hire Date and Birth Date.

  7. Educator Effectiveness - Track history of rating each year

    Educator Effectiveness - Track history of rating each year. I would like the history of what an employee was rated on their evaluation each year. It is nice to have the history. For MI, if a teacher is rated Highly Effective for 3 consecutive years, they do not have to be evaluated for a year. We are tracking that on a spreadsheet since Skyward doesn't track the history.

  11. 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

  12. 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. 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.

  15. Entity Id Entry on the Certification Screen

    Please enable the ability to enter the Entity ID in the Certification tab. Right now, the field is visible there, but you cannot enter it there, you have to go out to the Name tab. This is time consuming when you are already in the certification field and could just enter it there.

  19. Inactive Employee does not display Online Form

    When an employee is inactivated you can no longer view completed online forms even when the form is still active. You have to activate the employee to see history on the completed online form.
