  1. Add 1095C to Employee Access

    "Crandall ISD has the opportunity to have our 1095-C Forms loaded into our Payroll Portal in Skyward.

    We need to know:

    Is that an option?
    If so is there a charge to load the forms?
    What is the correct nomenclature/form type for loading?

    Our ACA vendor has agreed to either provide the Forms in individual PDF format to be loaded into each employee's portal (or whatever it is called Angela) OR can provide a CSV with all EE data for loading into Skyward to generate the 1095-C Forms.

  2. Need to Customize Widgets in Employee Access

    We have many tasks processes employees need to complete and would like to be able to customize the widgets that are on the Home screen by default in Employee Access when a new employee is added by HR, rather than having to teach them to select other widgets or click on task manager in order to get to the tasks they need to complete.

  3. Emergency Contact Information upload & manipulation of fields

    Before "Emergency Contacts" was an option in Web H/R, we developed a "Custom Form" that H/R entered the information on the employee.....Years later the "Emergency Contact" was released, we've been utilizing that. Our H/R dept is manually entering information into the "Emergency Contact? We asked Skyward if there was an upload (and there is not). We also asked if we could "downsize/manipulate" all the various fields in the "Emergency Contact" area, since we don't need to know where the contact works etc... (we're trying to make this as easy on our employees as possible). After our data is entered, H/R…

  4. Add Employee Access > Personal Information > Calendar widget

    Add a widget for Employee Access > Personal Information > Calendar. This calendar if unique to the Employee. The widget should jump to the Personal Calendar for the employee when Calendar Options can be set. But the widget should then display for the 'current day' any entries the Employee has defined, such as My Employee's Time Off, as well as their Assignment Calendar information

  6. language

    Could we add Language in Employee Access as a field that connects to the Language field in Profile? And, also make it a field that an employee can request to change?

  7. 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?

    Thank you for submitting this idea request. We have a clarifying question before we can proceed reviewing it:

    We need to better understand what you want the checkbox to do. Do you this checkbox to pull from the sick bank profile with the HR side? Or, do you want to donate time to the sick bank?

    Thank you!

  9. 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.

  10. Employee Access

    When employees leave it would be great to have one place to update their personal email and check a box that all communication goes to that personal email. Instead right now, I have to update the first email in employee profile AND go and update the email in employee access and then send them another account reset link just for them to keep access. In addition, it would be awesome to have a box for departing staff that says "grant employee access until......" we could then fill in a date and forget it. Instead right now, I have to somehow…

  15. Employee Access -Employee Deductions and Benefits

    I wish there was a way for employees to view their current deductions and benefits in Employee Access outside of having to always look at their last paycheck. This could be under Employee Access, Employee Information, Payroll. There could be a deductions section and a benefits section. Then if this was possible, we could pull this into our Open Enrollment custom forms each year as that is a popular question from employees during this time, what benefits do I currently have?

  16. Ability to submit time off requests to mulitple supervisors at one time

    When an employee has an assignment at more than one building they have the option to choose which supervisor to submit the time off request to, however, at this time they can only choose one or the other. They do not have the option to submit the time off request to both supervisors at one time. I think the option to submit to both supervisors at one time for each of the buildings would be a nice add-in.

  18. Employee Access: Staff to View One Page Calendar (PDF)

    We have over 70 employee assignment calendars in our district. Staff can activate their assignment calendar from the Calendar area and view it month by month but what we would find extremely helpful is the ability for staff to view the one page PDF view of their calendar. Perhaps it could be added as a link on the Set Calendar Display Options screen. Or, I could see this as an option under the Personnel tab or as a drill down feature when looking at their Assignment. After expanding the assignment, I can see the calendar name listed under Term Information.…

  20. Add Name ID to the Application Information in Employee Access|FastTrack Screener|Open Applications|View Application Information

    Add Name ID to the Application Information in Employee Access|FastTrack Screener|Open Applications|View Application Information and Employee Access|FastTrack Screener|Applications by Position|View Applications|View Application Information. We are currently usingFileBound's Connect to store all of our HR documentation. We integrate on the Employee ID. This would allow our hiring managers to review current employee applicants' HR records without having to make a trip to the central office.
    This has already been added to Human Resources|Employee Administration|FastTrack|Applicants|Application Information, but our Hiring Managers do not have rights to this area. Please see attached.
