  1. What employees see when looking at Time Sheet History

    An employee is questioning why his Double time hours were not showing on his time sheet history. The time sheet clearly shows that he should be paid for 7 hours of Double Time for hours worked on Sunday and 7.5 hours of half time that he worked on other days during the week. However, when he looks at his history of the time sheet (while it is waiting for payroll) it is only showing the time and 1/2 hours and not the double time. This is the response I received from Skyward on this issue:

    Discrepancy in time sheet viewing…

  2. PS\WF\AM\UT\AM (Account Merge): Add a way to do this via import.

    PS\WF\AM\UT\AM (Account Merge): Add a way to do this via import. We have an extra six digits so we can't use the mass merge option, but even if that weren't the case, this still seems like a good area to do an import.

  3. Cash Receipts Approval Process

    We are a large district with numerous schools making bank deposits and submitting Cash Receipts in Account Management. Like Budget Transfers and Journal Entries, we would like to see an Approval process put in place so the finance office can review and verify the Cash Receipt transaction before posting it.

  5. Budget Requisition - School year display

    When employees are entered budget requisitions, it would be so helpful if it was possible that limit their access to certain school years. This is possible when entering purchasing requisitions so it would only make sense to do this in budget requisitions. Staff get so confused. I know it is a training issue but sometimes, training is just not enough.

  6. Ranges in Employee Profile screen on web

    would like to see an option to filter by term date in the employee profile screen under WH\EP\TB\AF. would be very helpful at the end of year for 1095 reporting, W-2 reporting and for end of school year for people leaving and people coming. for example, right now I only want to see all staff with a term date of 1/1/2019 or greater. I know I can pull a list, but I need to check each person's ACA report and edit so I would rather do it from the screen itself.

  8. Time off in Mobile App KS

    We require our paras to tag the school secretary in all time off requests - so the school secretary knows they are going to be gone for the day. (They do this by selecting employees to notify when this request is submitted and approved/denied) - however, in the mobile app this is not an option. Is there a way of adding this to the mobile app so secretaries can be notified in addition to the paras direct supervisor.

  10. Email notification to HR for more than one status code on an applicant. (490 and 495)

    I would like to be able to set it up in Skyward so that I, as an HR Director, receive an email when an applicant's status code is changed to a 490. I already receive one for the 495 but would prefer to have both.

  12. W4 Lock-out

    Need a way to "lock-out" changes to the W4 screen. When the IRS issues a lock-in letter the employee W4 is not allowed to be changed until the letter is released. If the IRS instructions are not followed and the W4 get changed, the employer will be liable for paying the additional amount of tax that should have been withheld.

  13. Employee Access, Time Off, My Requests

    If an employee is entering a block of time off, as a Date Range they are not able to enter hours and minutes, only when entering individual days.
    I have an employee that needs to leave early from work, so take one hour of sick leave, every day for the next month and they cannot enter it as a date range. Would be nice to have the option of date range and still be able to enter the number of hours/minutes off each of those dates in the range.
    Yes, I know they can clone the previous entry but that…

  14. Customized Subject Line and Body for awaiting approval emails

    Is there a way for the name of the employee submitting a transaction to show on Skyward email notifications?

    Currently, the only information received for "Credit Card transaction(s) awaiting approval" emails is the Date, Amount, and Where Used.

    Similarly, for "Check Request(s) awaiting approval" emails, would it be possible to include the username of the user who submitted the check request and/or the check request number ?

  15. Paid Special Request how it ties into the timesheet

    I would like to see it show up in a True Time timesheet, when someone has a request for Paid Special Request, that it show me WHAT option they chose tied to the PSR. Like it should say PSR, conference or PSR, PD hours. This is super confusing when trying to process timesheets. I would like it defined more within the timesheet itself.

    It would be nice to see the 2020 W4 box on the PAC side displayed without having to "edit". On the Web side you can see it clearly without editing. They should be the same.

  18. Limit display of Expense Reimbursement tab

    Once you enable the Expense Reimbursement tab in Employee Access, the tab is available for all Employee Access users. Not all users may be eligible to submit Expense Reimbursements and this tab is confusing.

    Similar to the True Time or Time Off tab, consider limiting the display to only users that are on the actual Org Chart associated with Expense Reimbursements. Or limit the display based on whether the employee vendor record is set up with the ACH tab populated.

  20. Delay making W2 available electronicially if staff chooses to receive paper copy

    For the staff who choose to receive a printed copy, we'd like the ability to delay making the electronic version of the W-2 available in Employee Access. Basically, we are hoping to give an incentive to those who choose to receive it only electronically - the incentive is to have it available earlier. Ideally, we'd like to enter a date or run a separate process to activate the electronic version at a later date (for those who received a printed copy).
