    Tell us More  ·  AdminAshley Prinsen (Product Owner - Business Suite, Skyward SMS 2.0) responded

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback to clarify this request.

    Is this request to make it so the pay record “by default” uses the paid start/stop dates on the CONTRACT to stop paying the pay record whether or not they’ve imported paid start/stop dates into their pay records with the assignment export/payroll import?

    If you have additional information to help clarify what you’d like to see updated or expect to see changed that will help us.

    Thank you!

    Deferred  ·  AdminAshley Prinsen (Product Owner - Business Suite, Skyward SMS 2.0) responded

    Thank you for submitting this idea.

    This functionality already exists in Skyward. If an employee submits their time sheets from web, mobile, and reader when an unapproved time off request is out there for that week validation exists to prevent the user from submitting the time sheet.

    There is also validation when the time sheet is being approved to catch any unapproved time off requests at that point.

    Is the situation that the time off requests are being put in after the time sheet has been submitted/approved?

    Thank you!

    Try this Instead  ·  Caitlin Barton responded

    Good Morning! Thanks for all the feedback, we appreciate it! There is a great option right now to get to the Check Estimator from Employee Profile. If you login to Skyward > Web Human Resources > Employee Profile and search for the employee you are looking to run the Check Estimator for, you can then click on the Blue Information Icon (i) next to the search bar and Ranges button. This will take you out to Employee Access, where you can click on the Check Estimator tab and run the Check Estimator process for that employee.

    We hear and understand the value of this request. We appreciate everyone voting and commenting on this request. We did not take this request lightly; we’ve reviewed it and conducted a thorough analysis of the project with our development team. Currently, it’s not something on the roadmap for development.

    We understand that the name field character limits could be longer, we are excited to announce that they have been extended on the Qmlativ product. We recommend that you use the Legal Name fields for those students whose names do not fit in the standard name fields. These legal names can be sent via state reporting.
