    Thank you for submitting the product idea!

    We are looking for more input from our users on this topic.

    1. How does this affect your day to day duties with using an onboarding module?

    2. What system/process do you currently use to work with gathering this payroll information?  Do you utilize something like Custom Forms, FastTrack?

    3. What features/processes are you looking for with this onboarding module (ie. do employees upload the documentation, review/approval process, profile integration, etc...)

    This idea will remain open for further exploration and input from the Skyward Community.

    Thank you!

    Erik O.
