1. Increase PA UC decimal places from 4 to 6 digits

   Our district does the finances for a charter school that resides within our district. This charter school's PA Unemployment Compensation rate as directed by the PA Dept. of Labor is 0.036785.
   Skyward currently only allows 4 decimal places so I'm only able to enter 0.0367 or 0.0368.

   If this isn't something that can be fixed in the current Skyward software please make sure to include it in Qmlativ.

   Thanks for submitting this idea.

   It appears this already exists in SMS 2.0.
   Under HR\PA\RE\PA\SF\UC

   The UC Employer Tax Rate allows for 6 decimal places.

   Thank you,

2. On the YTD tab add the ability to accumulate TRS w

   This would be VERY helpful when processing the TRS annual report. The outcome would be a quick way to check TRS wages when completing the annual report. It could be done by adding the ability to accumulate wages by a date range that would be manually entered. It is already accumulating by a predetermined date range.

3. Need ACA hours for docked day to equal hours workd

   Need to have ACA hours for a docked day to equal daily hours worked in Employee Management. Currently the docked hours for ACA default to 8 and this is not correct in most cases.

   Dock pay would automatically deduct the correct number of ACA hours when used.
   Additional clarification from customer:

   We currently pull ACA hours from Employee Management. When processing a
   payroll and an employee has dock pay it pulls up the hours associated with
   the calendar for the employee. I would like the ACA hours to pull from the
   hours per day on Employee Management. This way the proper hours would be
   deducted (without overriding it). What happens now is the system will dock
   8 hours per day because that is what the calendar is set at.

   Thank you for submitting this request and voting on it. We’ve had our experts run a few test at Skyward and we believe the system is working as intended as long as the set up is correct. Please review these steps & try this instead:

   1) When running the Unpaid Time Off Import (Create Dock Pay) utility in Payroll Worksheets the ACA Hours are automatically created.

   2) The hours are negative – to indicate taking ACA hours away from the total ACA hours for the payroll

   3) The number of hours recorded is based on the Time Off Code Setup – Hours per Day

   4) The ACA hours are written directly from the Unpaid Import. They are not derived from the ACA Import button in Payroll Select

   5) Primary Pay’s ACA hours is pulled from the ACA Import in Select

   6) The Import runs out to the web. It is set up to calculate from TT, EM and Pay codes.

   7) ACA hours will calculate for an employee’s primary pay from Employee Management – based on Assignment and the ACA Date Range.

   8) Finally, the employees total ACA hours recorded is from primary, minus pay from the (remaining) Dock Pay.

   Thank you!

4. Update PSERS reporting for Sabbatical leave

   Need Skyward to update PSERS state reporting correctly for Sabbatical leave.
   We were given a solution in SKYWARD to create correction contributions but not a way (except with a manual change in state reporting) to report the wages as described below.
   From PSERS Manual

   During the period of the leave the member must be paid 50% or more of their contracted salary. The

   employer reports the actual amount paid to the member as well as the unpaid portion (totaling 100% of

   contracted salary) each month. Members are considered to be in regular daily attendance during the

   period of the leave and service is reported accordingly. The employer and member pay contributions on

   100% of the contracted salary.

   Reporting Requirements

   The employee (member) should be reported to PSERS as follows:

   Work Status = SABTLC - Sabbatical Leave (Contributing) When submitting the Contract

   Record the Work Status Start Date should be equal to the first day of Sabbatical Leave. After

   submitting the SABTLC Contract Record your Work Report should reflect the same Work

   Status.

   Wages should be equal to the employee's full contract salary. Wages should be reported in

   the following fields.

   Wages paid to the employee should be reported in the BASE field.

   Wages representing the unpaid portion of the full contract salary should be

   reported in the URCC field.

   Days or Hours should be reported based on the time that would have been rendered had the

   school employee not been on leave.

   If the school employee was employed with a Wage Type of Per Diem or Salaried

   Days should be reported based on the number of days the employee would have

   worked.

   If the school employee was employed with a Wage Type of Hourly Hours should be

   reported based on the number of hours the employee would have worked.

   Member Contributions should be paid by the school employee to the employer and remitted

   and reported by the employer based on the employee's Member Contribution Rate

   multiplied by the employee's full contract salary.

   Employer Contributions should be paid and remitted based on the Employer Contribution

   Rate in effect for the fiscal year(s) of the Sabbatical Leave multiplied by the employee's full

   contract salary.
   Maybe create a field that would hold the salary amount that needs to override the regular salary amount when the employee is on sabbatical.
