I work at a school where Macs and PC's are networked through a windows server. I want to check out a new feature that the district has made available called Employee Self Service (ESS). Apparently we have to log onto Lawson Web first. However, when I try it get this message: Error calling /lawson/portal/portalconfig.xml Details: ERROR: Cannot convert 'a' to object SSORequest() - sso.js The Portal cannot load because it was unable to load the global configuration fil...

Does anyone have a quick overview of how to force all ESS edits made by employees to be in ALL UPPER CASE letters We allow dependents entry, address changes, emergency contacts, etc. through ESS. Is there a 'quick and easy' way to force all entries employees make to these editable fields through ESS to be in all upper case only I know there is really no quick & easy way and assume it involves some combination of java edits, html edits and/or portal modifications through design studio. Ho...

We are wanting to track contracted individuals in our HR/Payroll system.  But unsure as to the best approach & would like to hear what others have done - including pros and cons.  They are not technically employeed by our company but are working onsite to fill staffing needs on a temporary basis.  They would not be paid through payroll but we would track contact info, dept, reviews, immunizations, etc. We have considered setting up a separate Company for them which appears it would take alot ...

Our ACA electronic submission for benefit year 2016 was Accepted with Errors and the errors were all TIN related. We have corrected about half of the 275 TIN errors and are attempting to submit the ACA Corrected file but we are having trouble creating the corrected XML file. We have created a group of these employees and ran BN297 to create the csv file so that the Corrected 1095-C forms may be created and provided to the employees. When then ran the BN299 to create the Corrected XML file, ho...

Hi All, I already map all the fields in the excel based on the FORM. In my specific case the first 3 User Fields are requiered. Issue that I am haviing is 'User Field is required (_f490r0)'.

On PA13.1 (HR11) a user first changed effective date from 7/21 to 7/25 in error then in an effort to roll back to the 7/21 effective date they deleted the history of the effective date 7/21 on the PA13.2 screen. Any suggestions on how to roll that position back to 7/21

When we went live with Lawson in February 2016, we were told that when we make updates to positions, we need to keep the effective date 1/1/1950.  However, we have run into some issues with that logic.  We are getting a bunch of retroactive history updates on PA55 that I have to clear out at least twice a week.  When you guys update a position on PA02, do you use the current date  I see this as more logical so that you can see the history of the position as well. Anyone else do it differently

We are looking to enter non-paid employees in Lawson such as contractors, volunteers, and physicians. When it comes to the personal information such as SSN and birth dates, what are others using What about positions and job codes  I was thinking for SSN using 9s. Our plan is to add them in our current HR company structure which would make it easier if we ever hired the non-employee. We would create a Non paid status, for Contractors, Physicians, and Volunteers and also create a term status to...

Does anyone have issues with future dated benefits and annual enrollment  We have a long-term disability policy that does not become effective until the first of the month following 365 days of employment.  The employees enroll in this benefit as a new hire, but the plan then sits on their BN32.1 record with that future date.  We now run into issues with this type of set-up when we go through annual enrollment.  The employees now get an error message that they have benefits that start on or aft...

Hello, We recently added a HSA plan to our health coverages and was able to set it up to go through open enrollment. We are now looking at ways to use ESS for benefit changes outside of Open Enrollment. We have our HSA setup as a DC plan that allows a employee to contribute and we want to be able to allow them to change the annual amount through ESS. We also have a 457 plan that is DC and we hope to be able to allow this to be managed through ESS all year. Has anyone use...

Hi. Does anyone know the LSF file location (preferably in a Windows environment) where the files BNBATCH and BNDEPBATCH are moved from when being extracted to the external file path specified in the csv workfile attributes of the BS531 job.

Hello, We have recently setup new health plans paired with HSA and paired with a HRA. Both plans have a employer contribution piece. We intend on processing the employer deduction for the HSA Jan 1 and July 1 each year. We will process the HRA employer deduction on Jan 1. We setup separate plans for the employer contribution pieces of the HSA and HRA. We also put the deduction codes on different frequency table so we can process these only on the select times. We are using versio...

I am currently doing research on goal management software options.  I am looking for some feedback on what others have used or are using that might fit the need.   Some background;  I am looking to manage the annual goals for a group of about 3000 individuals (just leadership).  As odd as it may sound - we are not looking for a heavyweight champion at this time - we are really looking for a basic goal management (not full performance management).  We basically are looking to take our paper pr...

My organization is looking at what it would take (if possible) to execute the payroll processes during an unplanned downtime of Infor/Lawson. I am looking to see if anyone else has had this question come up or if anyone is using a downtime payroll process that they could share with me.

Hi, We are trying to reduce maximum vacation accrual from 2x to 1.5x for 2018. Is there anyway by which we can automate the process without having to manually calculate the time accruals for each employee Following are the rules for the accruals:   Maximum Vacation Accruals for Employees Effective January 14, 2018, the maximum vacation hours that you will be allowed to carry in your vacation bank will be one and one-half times (1.5x) your annual vacation entitlement vs. the current ...

Hello, We are changing health plans and created new plans for 2018 to start on 1/1/2018.  We currently deduct premiums for health insurance a month in advance.  So we need to be able to start deduction for the new insurance with the first payroll in December 2017.  Lawson does not appear to have a built in feature to do this unless I missed it in my research, so we have been making manual adjustments for new hires to withhold their first months premium prior to coverage starting.  Since we are ...

Hi all, Our company is introducing new accrual rules for certain employee groups. They are reducing the maximum accrual rate from 2x to 1.5x for these employee groups as of 01/13/2018 and those who have vacation accruals above 1.5x threshold their accrual would be sent to the sick bank . I am thinking of following steps to implement this: 1) Create new limit rules for the required employee groups and add new start date. 2) Payroll will stop the pay cycle on 1/14/2018. 3) Report will be ran t...

We have a need for the mass load of gift cards.   We have a few departments that are receiving gift cards and we're wondering the best way to mass load them for PR processing for tax purposes.   Would this be a form of imputed income and/or a gross up  What is our best approach to setting this up and loading   Any recommendations are appreciated.

Would anyone be willing to share documentation that your company has created for PMA time entry for employees and approvers  It would be great to get a sense for what others have created for the end user.
