We are in biweekly 26-pay-period vacation accrual schedule in Absence Management. I have never understood why. Currently some employees are accrued at the last date of the pay period while other employees are accrued at the middle of the pay period. I am exploring different options to make our vacation plans more manageable. Does anyone have different accrual schedule other than 26-pay-period vacation accruals in place What about vacation plans that accrue only on the first two payrolls (24 p...

Beginning in the 1st Qtr of 2015 Maine has broken out the old verion of the SUI/SIT file so that it is now 2 files that must be submitted.  Lawson rewrote the SUI file but did nothing about the SIT file. I have been talking with the help desk on this but it not mvong along very quick (if at all).  With the deadline coming up in a couple of weeks for submission, I was wondering what othe Maine clients are doing

We are working on adding process levels for several different global locations for the purpose of housing employee master records only.   Is there a way to add these locations without creating a new bank code for each country  We are only using this for the purpose of maintaining  organizational related data (Proc Level, job code, supervisor, location etc).  It seems like you get prompted to add more and more banking,  currency, and accounting related data when trying to add a record on HR01...

We are thinking of having some of our contractors swipe in Kronos to track hours for productivity. There is talk of pulling those hours into Lawson with an hours only pay code.  Has anyone done this Won't it produce a zero check

Has anyone ever set up non-taxable pay codes for parsonage housing allowance If so are you willing to share  your setup

We have a location where we are required to pay an additional hourly amount for employees who do not qualify for our vacation plan and an additional amount per hour for employees who do not elect to carry our insurance.  We would like to keep the base pay amount (shown under pay in the HR11) and then show separate pay codes that calculate the additional amount based on hours loaded into the PR36.  Is it possible to do this without a manual calculation Example:  Hourly rate = $9.00, No health c...

Hello,   I am really new to the Lawson software and was asked to add a custom calc for a special deduction that is entered into PR05.   I searched thru the posts and set up everything like I thought.     But it looks like the PRUEDED added code is not getting invoked.   If somebody could tell on how the process works, I would really appreciate it.   --This is what I did,   1.  Changed PRUEDED to move a value to PRUE-DED-AMT.        --Compiled PR05,  does the PRUE-DED-AMT show on page somepla...

Where can I go to end a flex plan so that BN100 doesn't want to keep trying to add it to an employee's record I have created all new benefit plans for 2015 that are not tied to this flex plan and they all appear to be working properly, and all employees have an end date of 12/31/2014 for this flex plan, so BN103 does nothing because there is nothing that isn't already ended. There are no benefit rules set up for it. It won't let me delete it on BN06, I get 'cannot delete, flex dollars exist' e...

Is there a wildcard I can use in my employee group build I need to capture all employees who reside in Departments (5 numbers in length) that start with a 7 and end with a 1. I thought I could try 71, but I don't want to pick up 70002 or 80001, for example.

We are doing a bi-weekly payroll and benefits are taken each payroll. If an employee is eligible for benefits on 2/1/2015 but doesn't actually enroll until 2/15/2015, the number of paychecks left isn't calculating correctly,it is calculating from their eligibility date and not from the date they are going through new hire enrollment. I had this fixed at my previous employer but I don't remember how I did it. The cycles start at 26 for the year. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Has anyone begun testing the LP configuration for Philadelphia's mandated sick leave  I would love to talk with anyone who will be responsible for implementing this for their organization.   Karen Ploof Children's Hospital of Philadelphia 503-702-6192 ploofkemail.chop.edu

When viewing prior pay checks, ESS gives a message that says: 'There is no payment information for September 23, 2007 through September 23, 2008.' Similarly, when trying to look at year to date, it gives a message that says: 'There is no year-to-date information.'   If logged in as another user with identical roles (LS9) there is no issue.  Any insight would be deeply appreciated.

I know that BSI is used by a majority of Lawson clients.. but am wondering if anyone here is using anything else, AllTax or another package.  I am curious to hear about which package your are using and your thoughts on it.   Thank you   Jim

Hi,   We are currently testing BSI Version 10 at American Psychological Association (based in DC) in our development environment (Regulatory bulletin 40 is installed)   We are running into issues with taxable wages for employees who live in a state other than DC (where APA is located and its employees work)   We have managed to locate the custom nexus data in BSI Version 10 and made an entry for each state that we think we need for our employees (Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware...

Does anyone currently have Mass Mutual as their 401 (k) provider   We are switching from TIAA-CREF to Mass Mutual and Mass Mutual has asked for data extracts from S3   They have provided us the data structure for the extracts   I am wondering if there is a standard extract from Lawson S3 to Mass Mutual or other benefit providers   For TIAA-CREF, we engaged our managed solutions provider to do the extract   Trying to figure out if we need to go the same route or use existing interfa...

We want to cut a separate check for some of our employees for extra wages. We have tested the functionality of processing a second check (during the same pay cycle) successfully, however, the system treated the second check as though it were part of the normal paycheck, and taxed according to that schedule. We want the separate check to be a stand alone check and not included for taxation as part of the regular paycheck. How can we go about adding a second check for an employees that is taxed ex...

On HR11 when entering the supplemental address and the home address, we are only able to select 'US' as the country code.  How do we set up more country codes to select from  When we click the drop down list for the Country for the Home address and the Supplemental adress, we get the message 'No Records to Select From'.

Is anyone using the product Form MHC Document Self-Service for W2 printing Is there any w2 information within Lawson Self-Service

I've been away from HCM for a while and am hoping that there is now a way to enter foreign addresses to HR11. How are global companies managing it

Using Excel Addins I am looking through PCODESDTL and see a field called FACILITY-NAME however, when looking through HR04 (Type=LO) I do not find that field.  Does anyone know where FACILITY-NAME exists in the application   Thanks, Brian

We are doing our first 'annual' sellback and want to do the sellback by uploading the PTO sellback hours and doing a manual check run and LP140/LP197 to close out the usage transactions before the normal payroll run. Does anyone else do a PTO/Vacation Sellback program once a year, and if so, how do you process it

Wondering how to get rid of the 401A (required employee defined benefit plan) amount from box 12D on the W2 By adding the 401A deductions to PR27, line 14, the correct amount is shown in box 14 but it is also being shown in box 12D, which is not for 401A plans.   The tax status is 401K which taxed the deductions correctly but is placing the amount is box 12D, which is incorrect. Anyone Also, if we ask MHC to do the suppressing of the box 12D amount (they have no 401K so this would be ok t...
