Why 'Good Enough' Payroll Processes Cost Districts Millions: Integrating Informed K12 and Skyward
Why 'Good Enough' Payroll Processes Cost Districts Millions: Integrating Informed K12 and Skyward
K12 operations are uniquely challenging—and timesheets are the perfect example. Accuracy is essential, but 10,000+ budget codes, staff with multiple assignments at different pay rates, and approvals from school sites and district offices present real obstacles. Systems of record like Skyward may excel at storing final data, but they struggle with the complexity of data in motion.
This on-demand webinar features candid conversations with Yakima School District (WA) leaders who moved beyond manual workarounds to create a connected system of action for timesheets and payroll. Hear how they eliminated 40+ hours of manual work each pay period and uncovered $10K monthly in duplicate payments by using Informed K12 and its APIs alongside Skyward.
Speakers included:
Sergio Abundiz
Skyward Fiscal/HR Supervisor
Yakima School District
Shari Chapman
Director of Payroll
Yakima School District
Susan Fate
Director of Fiscal Services
Yakima School District
What's working?
- Timesheet automation that removes manual entry
- Practical starting points: from simple downloads to full API integration
- Automatic user management and employee data pre-population
- Visibility into duplicate submissions and payroll errors
- Higher staff completion rates, no log-in required
- Implementation approaches for any ERP stage—legacy, prepping for migration, or on Qmlativ
Skyward districts could risk:
- Losing 40-80 hours each pay period to manual entry, cleanup, and approval chasing
- Overspending $5-10k because of unknown duplicates and after-the-fact approvals
- Facing year-end surprises without visibility into in-flight timesheets
