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!

1. How does this affect your day to day duties with using an onboarding module?
Currently our HR and payroll departments gather demographic information and payroll documents utilizing electronic pdf documents. This was a recent upgrade from handwritten documents. However, we still need to take this information and manually input it into Skyward in numerous places. The ability to have users enter their own personal information would increase efficiency in our departments and decrease errors that result in staff entering information by hand into Skyward.
2. What system/process do you currently use to work gathering this payroll information? Do you utilize something like Custom Forms, FastTrack?
We utilize Custom Forms for demographic information collection but need to transfer that information into Skyward manually. We also utilize pdf fillable forms for payroll related required documentation. We investigated using FastTrack but found it too cumbersome for our applicants and only provided minimal information (demographic and assignment) that would import into the employee’s profile in Skyward.
3. What features/processes are you looking for with this onboarding module (ie. do employees upload the documentation, review/approval process, profile integration, etc….)
We are looking for a robust, interactive system which allows employees to enter their personal HR/payroll information (and, if possible, also select benefits/deductions). This could include all regular job application fields, State licensing and educational degrees, Fed and State tax forms, WRS enrollment forms, background check fields/sign off, emergency contacts, dependent information, health/dental/vision enrollment, direct deposit information, etc.
With all of the interactive HR and Payroll systems available (ie. ADP, Paycom, Paylocity, BambooHR, Workday, etc.) on the market today, we feel a similar system would be extremely beneficial and save districts time and money from manually processing all payroll and HR documents. Not to mention, the number of errors that can be created by touching this data multiple times. We would like to mirror similar systems in that the employee would complete, electronically sign, and submit the documentation for review and once it has been vetted, HR and or Payroll would be able to submit it electronically to import into the employee’s profile.
Additional Comments: We have explored this idea with our colleagues who utilize Skyward for their financial and HR systems and overwhelmingly, they support the need for this system to be implemented. Along with our colleagues, we have investigated other systems but none are truly interactive with Skyward and would mean we would need to buy an additional system. Doing so, would create another level of redundancy that we all would like to avoid. We have been told and understand this module would not be available through SMS 2.0 but would like to encourage Skyward to look into it for Qmlative.
Thank you!
