We are extending benefit coverage to same sex spouses, starting effective 1/1/2014. The Feds have announced that same sex spouses are to receive the same favorable tax treatment for plan premiums, so we don't have to do the whole after-tax portion of the premium and the imputed income. However, we are in Kentucky, a state that doesn't recognize same-sex marriages, so we could be looking at a situation where we would treat the same sex spouse portion of the premium as pre-tax for federal taxe...

We have just closed out a project which saw all of our employees globally receive a Schedule and Grade (previously only our US-based employees had these populated). We have made the new schedules in PA95 effective 01-JUN-2014, same with HR06 job codes. However, when we now try to process any PA52.1 action (even those not tied to PA02) effective prior to 01-JUN-2014, we are receiving the error: 'Grade Not Found In Schedule'. I have more than a sneaking suspicion that this is directly related t...

We run LP140 and LP197 accidently for pay period ending date 9/3/2014. We didn't have any time records so it didn't create any accruals. Could we rerun LP140 and Lp197 even though we close absence management

Hi everyone, I'm stumped with this one, so I'm hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction!  Our employees are on accrual vacation and PTO plans that reset each January 1st and carryover balances are created.  For one of our smaller employee groups, the LP64 balance isn't lining up with the balance when we manually calculate it via the LP264 - the LP64 is exactly one accrual higher than we would expect.  I'm running the LP264 from 1/1 to present for all transactions.  I sor...

Per the gov't guidelines, I am to capture and report on every veteran code an employee provides to me.  Unfortunately, HR11 > Veteran field allows for just one selection.  If an employee states that they're Recently Separated and a Disabled Veteran, I need to collect and report on both instances for the VETS-100A.  How are you doing that since Lawson allows for a single selection We don't want to create various selections with the User Fields because it won't update the VETS-100A report with...

We are planning on making our vacation buy plan after tax this year so that it can be rolled into the following year.  So it's not an accounting nightmare with all the reconciliations at the end of the year. Has anyone been successful at setting up vacation buy as an after-tax benefit  Any advice on how you did it, would be helpful.

We are going to set up an HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement)plan which is company paid. These are for the traditional plans not the High Deductable plan. The company will be giving monies based on salary, if you not a smoker, etc. I am thinking employee groups for the eligibility but they will be various amounts depending on the incentives. Also, the amount will be given at the beginning of the year. Even though there is no employee deduction, the company would like ...

Looking for any suggestions on how to tie the Department Manager to the Department on HR02. Pondering adding a custom field but wondering if anyone has used User Analysis for that Department manager names in GLN_PERSON_RESP on GL20 aren't always maintained and aren't always correct. Appreciate any ideas.

What would be the best payroll report to use for reconciling our 401k contribution extract  We currently use PR141 and have ran into issues.  Thanks - Mike

403(b) deferrals are being stopped once someone meets the annual compensation limit ($260k in 2014) BEFORE someone meets the 402(g) limit. Our company has opened a ticket to Lawson but I'm wondering if this is something we can override or fix in the setup so we don't have to wait for our ticket to receive a response. On a related note, employees with 457 are having that shut off once their combined 403(b), 401(a) & 457(b) contributions reach 401(a)(17) ($52k in 2014). 457(b) should not be inclu...

We are looking at implementing ESS Time Entry.  I'm a little confused on the time records after the supv has approved the pay period.  What happens if the employee forgot to enter time such as overtime and the supv already approved the time  How does it get entered  What if the employee enters Vacation time, but it should be Sick time.  How are these corrections done in ESS Time Entry I've also noticed that HS535 changes the status of the records  Does it change the status if the employee...

I am new to Lawson and needs a simple question answered about Lawson Interface/Insight desktop (LID) terminal window. I am posting it here as I cannot seem to find a better place for this question. I got the need to connect to multiple Lawson servers from LID terminal and am tired of typing it in every single time or cutting and pasting host name. When the 'phone receiver' icon is pressed from LID terminal to connect to a host, I get the dialog shown below. I just need to understand how to co...

Our HR Department is considering using an outside vendor’s web-based benefits enrollment system for annual enrollment.   I have been asked to determine which Lawson conversion file layouts would be needed in order for an outside vendor to provide the required files to upload the employee annual benefit enrollment elections and any demographic information changes to our Lawson system. So far I have determined that the outside vendor would need to provide the employee's benefit enrollment electi...

Please vote for Enhancement Request 31168 to address this issue we are having. I opened the ER at the request of the GSC. If you have an alternate solution, let me know. Thanks. When an employee elects to change their RS plan in ESS after a life event, we receive errors on the BN531 when attempting to update the record. Steps to recreate: Enroll in RS plan for current year. Do a life event in ESS where you pend the records and make a change to your RS election. Run BS531 to extra...

Our employees are paid once at the end of the month, but we have new joiners starting  in the middle of the month. Currently, we calculate partial monthly payments on an excel sheet and then upload them on PR36 just before we run payroll. Is there a way to set it up so the partial caluclations are done automatically
