Create Pre-note File
Create a setting to allow Direct Deposit to Pre-note in the payroll even if the person is NOT getting paid. A way to have the payroll process pre-note everyone, like the AP side.

Add Web-Style Employee Selection Parameters to Mass Change Pay Record Account Numbers Utility
Even though the Mass Change Pay Record Account Numbers utility has been migrated to Web, the employee selection parameters mirror PaC-style selection, and do not offer any of the newer selection options (primary pay account code, assignment, etc.), nor can we utilize selection by Processing List.
These newer selection methods are invaluable when trying to reconfigure the accounts within existing pay codes to mirror current primary pay account structure. We cannot mass delete/recreate pay codes due to potential loss of historical data, so the accounts need to be updated periodically, but as employees move around, so do the dimensions of…

Quick Void - Not show Regular Check in Skyward Web
If we do a quick void on a payroll check, it would be nice that the "regular" check that was voided would not show in Skyward Web for employees to see. I understand showing the Voids, but I think that is more confusing for employees.

Pay Records Tab
It would be great when viewing Pay Codes in the Pay Records Tab if we could see Start/Stop Dates instead of "Editing" the pay record to view Start/Stop Dates.

Summer payroll payouts
Can we get access to a test system to run our summer payroll for July and August in June since we have to submit all earnings for teachers to TRS by the end of June instead of having to run these two months payrolls in June and then canceling them out just to run them again the correct months.
2 votesThank you for your input.
It sounds like you are looking for access to a test database with a copy of your data?
This would be a hardware call in this case rather than a product idea. You can submit those requests through the ? button in Web > Customer Access > and then submit the service call to our Customer Success team to help point you in the right direction!
If this is not the case, feel free to respond back.
Thank you!

direct deposit email notification
It would be nice to have the ability to schedule the direct deposit email notification for later in the day. I have to process my payroll by noon, but I don't want the email to be sent until after 5pm. Right now, it either gets sent at noon, when the check hasn't been deposited to their account yet, or it doesn't get sent at all. I know I can schedule it as a task, but that means that the email goes out first, and I don't want it to go out until the check has been deposited in their account…

Timesheets and pay code approvers
When submitting timesheets and the employee has multiple approvers, the employee needs to select an approver for all Pay codes that are associated with the employee. Could the program be updated so that the employee only needs to choose an approver for the pay codes that are associated with that timesheet?

Flag Employee Profile.
Some of our employees leave and come back or have loans that we need to check on the status of before processing their final payment. It would be helpful if we could add a flag or popup message to employee profile that will be triggered if we inactivate the employee or simply highlight the name of the employee so we know to look deeper into a profile if needed.

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.

1 voteThank you for submitting this Product Idea.
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?
Thank you!

Total HOURS = wrs or worked hours
Employees would like a way/ to view track worked hours (mostly for WRS). HR/Payroll is able to see total WRS hours. HR/Payroll can use the retirement custom tab (retirement tab- retirement detail hours)to view total WRS/Worked hours and employee has had. Is this something that an employee would be able to see easily on their employee access portal?
I don't see in the employee access portal (skyward web), where employees has a total worked hours or total WRS hours listed for them to view. Our bus drivers have asked for this option - to help track WRS hours - since…

Taxable Life Insurance Warning
There should be a warning that pops up on your first payroll in December (or even all payrolls in December) that reminds you to include the taxable benefit for group life insurance over $50K. This is a very common error that could be mostly avoided if there was a small pop-up that just reminded you to do it. For those that do it each payroll it would be a small annoyance, but for the people that do it once a year it could save a tone of time. Both for the employer and Skyward support during a very busy time…

Pre-populate pay period/payroll dates
When doing the payroll processing, you need to enter the payroll date, posting date, pay period, etc all manually. These dates could easily be automatically filled in. the way I would suggest to do this is to use the "Run Numbers" that are currently in the payroll system and just add some additional settings that would like you select the frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc). Based on the frequency selected and a calendar the system could determine what the dates would be. This would help everyone that does payroll to be more efficient and less likely to have a typing…

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.
19 votesThank you to those of you in the Skyward community who responded to the call for feedback. Your feedback and additional details provided are helpful to use while researching this request. We will continue to research the ability to make this update in PaC.

True Time = Updating time sheets into seperate Worksheet Selections
Within True Time = when UPDATING time sheets, if there was a button where we could individually HOLD or SELECT a specific time sheet to go into a different WORKSHEET SELECTION. For example, I am pulling in teachers time sheets and I want a couple of this group to go into a different worksheet because they need to be paid on a different date then the rest.

Direct Deposit Notification Change Emails Causing Alarm
We have enabled the auto email notification to send to employees when their direct deposit has changed.
However, the system sends an email when you
1. Are setting up a new employee (they had no direct deposit in the system, and now they do since you just got their direct deposit set up)
2. When you change their direct deposit to print instead of "Do not print direct deposit on check run." We commonly change this when the employee is leaving as we cut off their access to employee access.This causes a lot of undue alarm in people. Is…
16 votesAfter researching the two issues detailed in the
Product Idea we have some feedback.We will not be considering #1 for development. Best practices in security are constantly changing and bad actors become more resourceful and creative. This is a valid valid email event to me. If a Bad Actor adds a direct deposit number when there wasn’t supposed to be one, that would be something our users would want to be notified about. Even if it does cause alarm, better to be safe then sorry.
We looked into #2 and are not able to duplicate this issue in any environment. We will need to know the exact steps you took to recreate the event.
Thank you.

Adding a note option on a pay record
When paying for an Extra Duty it would be amazing to be able to put a note in for what the payment is for. I.E. Class Sponsor, Morning Bus Duty, Basketball Coach Stipend, etc. If Skyward could put this note option on the select screen through payroll, we could manually enter the information when paying out for these different stipends.

Add Columns to Retirement Detailed Hours
On the employee profile, the Retirement section has a part called "Detail Hrs". This section should show all things that pull into Annual report. I would add a a column that would track what WRS benefit and another column that shows the WRS deduction and another column to show what category they were recorded in. This would help that you could quickly see where an error was made and how log it was going on.
