We want to add the functionality for an employee to change their own address through ESS. For obvious reasons (auditing), we want this action to be pending, not immediate. I was very disappointed when I found the Lawson delivered address change ESS module directly updates HR11.  How dangerous is that!  That makes it completely worthless to us, and to many others I would guess. The Manager Self service allows address changes if you have a Personnel Action that is for address changes, but we wa...

Hello, We installed Lawson a few years ago, and we are beginning our analysis regarding the need to archive/purge data sometime in the future. Lawson provides several purge programs, but I was always under the impression that these programs were for test data only --in other words, you wouldn't ever run a BN430, unless you first archive that data. Has anyone ever used a purge program in production If so, what lessons have you learned, or what would you reccommend The other side of that is a...

We are going from a DB plan to DC plan where we give employees a of pay each year after two years of service.  The employee does not contribute to this plan.  I am just trying to figure out which contribution type to select so this will work properly.  We will also be giving employees credit for prior years of service (employee terminated and then is rehired) toward the the two years of service.

Is anyone using the Equifax Compliance Center and then bringing data into Lawson from that tool  ie) direct deposit, tax withholdings, etc.

Has anyone added an option to the Gender drop down list We would like to add 'refuse to answer' option to the drop down list.

Using the PA531, I am trying to import applicants into Lawson with a pre-determined applicant ID as well as a requisition number for the position they have applied for.  I am finding that for the requisition to feed in, I must turn the e-recruiting option 'on' for the company and then import the file.  Having the e-recruiting on, however, requires that they system assign the applicant ID.  If I turn e-recruiting off, I can feed the applicant ID I need but the requisition number will not populate...

We want to modify text on each benefit plan annual enrollment header.  Using the technical text, we still cannot find the proper file to modify and reference back to the benmsgs file.   For example on Medical Only, we want to edit this section:

I am going through our Benefit Automation rules for terminations and needed help with the Stop Date set up. For our employees who are going to a benefit ineligible status, we need their benefits to Stop the Pay Period End date prior to their termination/PA date.  I am thinking we need to use the Custom Date field but not sure how that works Also, for our regular termination employees (leaving the company), we end benefits on the last day of the current pay period in which the termination is ef...

We set up 1 new health plan in BN15.  The employees are eligible for the new benefit on BN31.2 and it shows in the list of available plans. It seems to be added appropriately on bs01, bS02 and bs03. When, you actually pick 'Select a different plan' and select the newest plan, ESS hangs and never produces an error.  Where else can I look Any ideas at all to help

I have an employee that was hired with the incorrect date; 07/12/2018. When attempting to separate them we are getting the message 'POS Level 01 effect date 07/12/18 is greater than term date'. The employee has only a single position record dated 7/12/2018. Can anyone provide thoughts on how to get this term processed.

I know the percentage change/increase for a pay rate history is shown on the screen in employee self service. However, I am not able to locate where this value is actually stored. It is not in the PRRATEHIST table where I would expect it to be. Can any one please advise where this value is stored (or advise if it is actually calculated when the page loads in ESS) Thank you.

Our org was acquired several months ago and we have moved onto the new company's (non-Lawson) HR / payroll / benefits systems. We don't want to keep our Lawson HR suite going indefinitely and would like to archive the data in a way that we could access it in the future without having Lawson HR on our system. Has anyone any experience with doing any such thing Which vendor did you work with and what sort of accessibility did you end up with Keeping Lawson HR on our system, which is hosted, woul...

We have a full flex plan working that adds taxable income for our LTD benefit to an employee's check.  (We offer this feature on our plan)  We cannot however, tie a non-cash income code to the full flex plan.  Any ideas on how to tax the benefit but not allow the employee to see the difference between the taxed premium and their taxes paid - essentially no change to their net pay, just an addition to income to be taxed.

Hi!   While in the process of adding external ACA hours to an employee's BN54, I did an add over an existing line of data and it also brought in 40 payroll hours in addition to the 466.75 external hours.  Of course, when I try to delete the record, I get an error message that you 'cannot delete if payroll hours exist'.  Does anyone have suggestions on how I can correct this epic fail  I attached a screenshot.  :)   Thank you!

We would like to do a passive benefit enrollment this year.  We have BS01 set to update immediate for anyone going through benefit enrollment.  We would also like to have all current plans stop 12/31/2016 and restart 01/01/2017 if they did not participate in benefit enrollment and choose to roll their current elections into next year. Has anyone done anything like this  What tasks do you do after benefit enrollment closes to stop/restart benefits for those who choose to roll everything to the ...

We are looking at changing our supplemental life ins plan from salary based to multiples of 10000.  Is it better to just set up a brand new plan or make changes to the current plan in the coverage options

We are implementing ACA (only a year late).  When we do a personnel action changing someone's hours (which will put them in a different health option based on employee group) we see two offers on the bn29.2 after running the bn100.  Is that right

We have a few departments who would like to suppress some of the tabs on the Leave Balances screen in EMSS.  We can't find a way using security groups or other settings in Infor/Lawson.  Has anyone else accomplished this

We tested our yearend process in V9.  We have since converted to V10 and gone live with LP this year.  We are testing the process again in V10 to be ready for year end and it is not working.  We run the LP140 through 12/31/16.  It recognizes the hours used for all employees to that date, however it is only accruing on hours up to that date for our salary cycle employees and not the hourly cycle employees.  They both use the same accrual rule.  Since it pulls hours used for the employees up to th...

I've mapped all of the apparent key fields: COMPANY, LTM-DATE-STAMP, LTM-TIME-STAMP, LTM-OBJ-ID, EMPLOYEE, ACTION-CODE, ACTION-REASON, EFFECT-DATE, ERROR-FLAG, STATUS, TRAN-TYPE, MESSAGE. But running a delete operation still gives a 'Record does not exist' error... Am I doing something wrong Thanks, Shawn

Is there a way to set up an employee group s criteria  We are setting up a separate life ins plan for these folks.     Thanks

The BN531 returns 'Contribution option not active' for all medical and dental plans.  I have verified that the plan options are active, that all of the contribution records are in place and I have verified the job def.  I would appreciate other suggestions on things I could check.  Thank you!
