    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!

    I'm so happy to see that Skyward is possibly willing to look into an electronic Onboarding module. They do not need to recreate the wheel. So many other HRIS software programs already have this feature and have done it well.

    For convenience, I've listed a few videos showing a bit of the Paylocity system. If Skyward could do this, it would be great. The system is user friendly from both the employer and employee perspective. The time savings and efficiencies of a system capable of doing this are immense. At this time, Skyward is doing districts a disservice by not providing a system with this capability. We are all struggling to find work arounds or purchase other software - PowerSchool or Frontline - to scotch tape things together to maneuver around this system deficiency.

    Please take a little time to preview the short videos.

    Let me know if there is any way that I can help in moving this forward.
