  1. Crosswalks for Form 9 for Indiana

    It would be helpful if we could view only accounts without crosswalks when we are working on the Indiana Form 9. It takes such a long time to go through every account in PaC and each year the list gets bigger and bigger. If inactive accounts didn't show up (unless there was activity within a 6 month period), that would lessen the amount of accounts we have to go through each time.

  2. PSERS Demographic Address Reporting

    For the PSERS reporting--- when entering an employee into the system you add in their home address information. The address then auto-fills into the retirement- demograph tab but in address 1 but then require manual entry to Address 3. According to a service call with Skyward, this is the only option as it has to be in address 3 for the PSERs reporting. It would be helpful if Skyward could reroute from Address 1 to Address 3 automatically if that is where the information is required.

    When you run the PSERS Member Demographic Record submission, the system takes the Address 1 in the profile and reports it in Address 3 in the maintain and the file. No manual edits need to be done in the Employee Profile to move the address to Address 3. The system takes care of that during processing for the Member Demographic submission.

    If assistance is required, please submit a Service Call and our State Reporting Rep will be able to assist you.

    Thank you!

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    We suggest you try running the Update Retirement Earnings with Summer Payroll Amounts. This can be found by navigating to PaC > Human Resources > Payroll > Reporting > Retirement Processing TRS. Click on the “Options” button to run the Update Retirement Earnings with Summer Payroll Amounts.

    Keep an eye out for Emails from Skyward for TRS Annual & TRS Pay Period Report Webinars and Training available this summer.

    The TRS Pay Period Report goes live January 2021.

  5. 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…

    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…
