Add Processing List to Selection Parameters for all PAC payroll mass processes.
Add Processing List to Selection Parameters for all PAC payroll mass processes. It would save a considerable amount of time if this option was available for all payroll PAC options, but specifically to adding, deleting, or editing pay records. The processing list option is already available for most areas in Skyward Web, it should be in PAC too.

Paying an employee without a contract
Would there be a way to have an exception show up when you are paying an employee without a contract? For instance having a teacher contract. The teacher has termed but the factor is not taken out so they are pulled into payroll. Paid an employee 4 extra times before she said anything. I removed it from payroll but forgot to take out the factor. This would help with that problem. Expected outcome would be that the employee with the exception should/would not get a paycheck. Being able to choose the type of contract would be helpful. CSC CSC10 C12…

Tie pay record dates to contract dates
When you connect a pay record to a contract the pay record should stop when the contract dates end. So if an employee does not continue on with a new contract for that pay record the next year it won't automatically pay out. In the contract area you could put a box to ask if you don't want that.
37 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback to clarify this request.
Is this request to make it so the pay record “by default” uses the paid start/stop dates on the CONTRACT to stop paying the pay record whether or not they’ve imported paid start/stop dates into their pay records with the assignment export/payroll import?
If you have additional information to help clarify what you’d like to see updated or expect to see changed that will help us.
Thank you!

Electronic 941
It would be nice if we could upload electronic 941's. Your website indicates that you have 2,000+ customers so that means that there are over 8,000 paper forms going to the IRS every year. Other software companies are doing this, why not Skyward?
84 votesStarting with the 05.20.02.00.11 & 05.20.06.00.02 addendums both available on 6/25/2020 a new option will be available to populate the IRS Form 941 with data from the 941 Report/Extract. Presently, this is only available for the current (2020) form year.
Thank you!

Identify Tier 2 TRS like IMRF
We need to have a check box to identify Tier 2 plan in TRS just like there is one for IMRF. We also need a an additional box to put in the wage limit because it changes every year. Currently we have 3 TRS employees that are tier2 over the wage limit and it caused problems in reporting.

Requesting warning message for Bank Routing Info
Issue When entering direct deposit information it seems like (to my payroll specialists) the system finds the closest routing number in the library. They key in the routing number and select the bank name that comes up. We just found an incident where the payroll specialist entered a routing number & that bank was not in our library - but she did not realize it - and the bank name selected was the next closest. Can something be changed to warn them during data entry that the routing number is not in the library. Kind of like it does with…

How to change cash account to be an ACH origin
We are in the process of centralizing activity funds and have set up a new bank account to process and pay purchase orders called Activity Funds. I attempted to ACH pay a vendor in AP and received the message The selected cash Account is not set up to be an ACH origin bank. Message attached. How do we change this cash account to be an ACH origin bank?

Shift Differential vs automatic OT pay code
I would like to submit a request for enhancement for Shift Differential in the Time Keeping Rules where you could select a shift differential pay code rather than it only allowing an automatic OT pay code. We have custodial staff who work evenings and anyone who works hours after 330pm receives a shift differential pay of $.60 per hour. For the last seven years I have manually calculated their shift differential by running a data mining report printing it and then counting their hours that they have worked after 330 pm. This is cumbersome and leaves room for human error.…

Deduction Benefit History-/Payroll Date Selection
A date range or something needs to be added to this area. When I have 20 years of information and I need to gather ALL 20 years and we do 3 payrolls a month do you know how many CLICKS THAT IS? I know an RFE was put in a few years ago. This seriously needs to be fixed on the web side of Payroll.

Add Individual Employee Pull to True Time
We would like to be able to pull in an individual to pay for any True Time timekeeping rule. In the State of MN if an employee demands their final check we have to produce in 24 hours. We would like to use the system to calculate all money owed using what is entered in True Time. I have been told that the only way to do this is to manually create a check for the hours owed cut the check and then force the time sheets into history so that you do not pay them again for those hours…

Report to verify Wisconsin Retirement Hours
To be able to verify per payroll; WRS hours WRS earnings WRS deduction & WRS benefit. The negative impact was the $16000+ we had to pay in back earnings interest & penalties for not deducting WRS on various employees with multiple pay codes plus our time finding those numbers and submitting them to WRS every 6 months for the last 8 years. A report would have been helpful to catch that error years ago and a report would have helped to find the prior year's data vs looking at every single check for every single employee affected. See attachment -…

Breakdown of paycodes
The change that I would like to have occur is during the payroll process when pulling hourly data from True Time into payroll. Instead of hours being lumped together with one total I would like to see the breakdown of all pay codes listed individually with hours associated with those codes without having to log into Employee Access to see the breakdown. For example if an employee worked 160 hours for the month and there was a holiday granted and paid time off the totals would look like: hourly 144hrs holiday 8hrs vacation 8hrs. I currently am manually entering data…

Adding paycode - Add to True time message
When adding a new paycode it would be nice to have an option to say yes/no to adding the paycode to True Time at that point. Time saving. Many times I may be mass adding a paycode for payment of a one-time thing - if I don't remember to also turn it off in True Time I end up with many confused employees wondering why they have a new option when they punch in. More often than not it won't be related to True Time and I'd like to choose that right away.

Mass Delete Pay Code
In the Mass Processing utility I'd like to see a way to mass delete a pay code with a particular account number even if it has history. We tend to have grants that pay salaries that are only good for a number of years. To be able to mass delete a number of pay codes at the same time would be helpful and time saving.
40 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We’ve completed research and team analysis. We’ve decided not to pursue this request in the near future because of the data integrity ramifications of deleting historical records.
This Idea will remain available for continued voting and commenting.

Control Check Number Printing Order
Please add the option to print checks in reverse number order during the payroll process. Some of our printers don't print in the same order that our checks are shipped. During large paper check runs the stack of checks have to be manually re-sorted.
A single option to print in the normal 1-10 order or in the reverse 10-1 order. This is a common feature in most bookkeeping software that I've used including my own personal finance software at home.5 votes -
Add description field to payroll worksheet screen
This would allow users who are entering a limited access worksheet the ability to put in a description of why an employee is getting the pay. This would help the Payroll department to audit what is being entered and would be retained for historical tracking.
This has been a road block to using the limited access worksheets in our district.69 votesWe currently have the Transaction Pay Code in Payroll Worksheet which can be used to add a description why an employee is getting paid. Currently, what happens is when you select the Worksheet Detail record into Payroll, it pulls all the deductions/benefits from the Pay Record Pay Code, then renames the Pay Code to the Transaction Pay Code. When it comes through on the check, it’s the Transaction Pay Code, but everything is pulled from the Pay Record with the Pay Record Pay Code. Our suggestion is to create Transaction Pay Codes, but you won’t need to create pay records with them. By doing it this way, you’ll also create consistency between the different records vs a free form description box. This way will also handle any concerns about combining worksheet detail records into payroll transactions.
