  1. HR, Utilities, Mass Add Transactions

    It would be extremely helpful to be able to Mass Add Transactions by a date range not just one day at a time for groups of employees. If you would please add this it would save us a lot of time entering time off allocations and used time off.

  2. utility to clone rights from PAC over to web version

    With both web and PAC being available in our district, I would love to be able to start moving our users off of PAC. however some of their rights in web are not as fleshed out as they could be. Now, especially, with everyone working from home, we've found the appeal of web, with it being much more easily deployed for off-site users. I would really like to see a utility that could clone a users PAC rights, INTO their web rights, ensuring they could accomplish everything in the new version they could in the old.

  3. Mass Inactivate Vendors in SBAA (Same utility as Order From vendor)

    Mass Inactivate Vendors in SBAA (Same utility as Order From vendor). We need a way to mass inactivate old SBAA vendors instead of one by one by entity. Larger Districts have tens of thousands of vendors that would require each vendor to be made inactive, a mass utility that would inactive all vendors in SBAA across all entities would be a large time savings process.

  7. Account Number & Account Distributions From Employee Management Available to Employee Letters

    We would like to be able to pull Account Numbers and Account Distributions from Employee Management into the employee contracts that we provide to employees through Employee Letters.

    Account Numbers/Distribution are currently available in EM, but are not allowable to be pulled into document produced and posted through Employee Letters.

  10. Substitute Rate Table Types

    In Substitute Tracking, "Detailed Transactions" allow the ability to edit the "Sub Type". This is needed when a long term sub switches to a short term sub mid pay period. For example they could be a long term sub at $160 per day for one week and the second week sub in regular short term positions for $120 per day. Also in this same area allow editing of Retirement hours. Some of our subs are also employees and do need to have retirement hours recorded on them.

  11. Add Supervisor to Data Mining

    We can add a supervisor to an assignment, but it doesn't appear we can run a data mine with that field available. It would be helpful to have all fields of an assignment used in reports.

  13. add-on reporting

    Add-on codes need to use the state code defined to report Florida additional compensation information. If you don't use the pay-code of the assignment the hourly rate calculation is inaccurate which means the additional paycode tab is of no value because of the wrong rate. Another option if different paycode values must be maintained is to have a check-box that says these codes should be included in the calculation of hourly rate when transferring to the additional paycodes. If this option is used, it needs to also follow the additional pay code screen and allow a box to mark so…

  14. Custom Form Date field

  15. ACA 1095 Processing

    An employee accidently key a social in place of the last name. It run all the way through the process. When the file was sent to the IRS it was rejected with a TPE1024 error, after examining the xml file I determined that when Skyward created the xml file the numbers were deleted from the SSN leaving 2 dashes (--) the IRS flags this as a potential SQL injection attack. This error should have been caught at some point before it was sent to the IRS

  16. vendor approval

    Can we have the option to have multiple vendor approvals like time offs. When one person approves a vendor, it can then go to another person and does not get approved until it has been approved by all approvers. Currently, if any approvers approve, it is goes through. The reason is because we require our individual vendors to go through a background check. We would like our HR department to approve the vendors so we know they passed the background requirements before the vendor is approved.

  17. Add Additional Security to Pseudo Approval Area

    We need additional security options for the pseudo approval area. We have added the option for employees to electronically submit a direct deposit change request. These requests will need to be approved by our Payroll Department. We also allow employees to request demographic changes which are then approved by our Human Resources department. We need for the pseudo approval area to have the ability to be restricted by different areas. Another option would be to at least have a report available that would allow us to pull requests, approvals, approvers, date and time in order to verify the appropriate department…

  18. Add field to Position - Assignment Mass Change Utility in Employee Administration

    We have a separate supplement plan in our system. There are many times when our teachers are receiving a supplement/bonus (Best and Brightest - Florida) or a one time pay enhancement supplement that every teacher will have the same account distribution. It would be nice to have an account distribution field in Position-Assignment Mass Change Utility to add the account distribution without having to touch each position control.

  19. gender identity

    We are looking to prepare for a changing demographic with Gender Identity. This is currently a field offered in Utah (Utah PR 4112260) but I am located in Pennsylvania. Can we add this for all states so that it is not an issue where we can't use the system to track our employee data? Yes, I can create a custom form but this should be something we can do within the system we have on the demographic side.

  20. TruTime Hourly Calcualtion on Timesheet

    Good Morning:
    When submitting weekly time sheets, when time off has been approved and added to time sheets and employee's regular hours are also included in the weekly calculation. Please see attached example. There we 24 Paid Off Hours and 16 Worked Hours but the when going in to approved weekly timesheet it totaled 64 hours rather then 40. Employees then need to go into their timesheets and delete the regularly scheduled hours prior to submitting their time sheet. Once time off is approved, shouldn't the TruTime autiomatically recalculated the employee's timesheet to reflect the correct number of hours worked.…
