New to LawsonGuru but not HRIS, happy to be here! I was hoping to get some advice: I've got a few pending history corrections on Level 2 positions for a couple of my employees: I'm changing the end-date of one position from one date to another, and the other employee needs their Level 2 position reopened after it was end-dated via miscommunication from a line manager. Problem is, when I attempt to do a reversal/combined action for these employees via PA52.5, I receive an error message reading...

Does anyone know why the Rate and Current columns on the standard ESS Pay Stub would not be summarized for Overtime and FLSA Overtime paycodes that are created when a retro pay is calculated like any of the other paycodes do A separate line is generated for each timerecord that got created. Will we need custom programming to fix it or is there a setup issue We've looked everywhere that we can think of.

– New employees are not allowed to use vacation for the 1st 6 months of employment (13 pay periods), on LP03.3 I have it set up for the waiting period to be 6 months but it is allowing employees to use it anyways. o you know why it would ignore this setting

Hoping someone can help me out here. We have a cycle based accrual table (LP04.2) that's occasionally used for our part-time employees.  Historically it was set up as a flat amount  of hours per pay-cycle (since most of our part-timers worked the same FTE), but I'd like to change it so that it's a calculation/formula: 3.076923 hours * (Employee's FTE) Simply put, I have no idea how to do this, as I'm not very familiar with the LP04.2 screen.  What's the difference between the Formula field...

When our payroll processed last week, a process through date of 2017 was used on the LP140; which granted a small group of employees their vacation accruals through March of 2017! Is there a way to reverse/delete the processed accruals  I'm hoping to correct the employee's balances (luckily less than 20 employees were affected) and ideally also correct the accrual transaction history. Input appreciated! Kelci

We have a field in PR69.1 that shows the PA-PSD-CODE and I'm trying to find a way to query on that field I have tried HR65 Report Writer but I cannot seem to find anything that would show that field. I found the Field Nbr (14) and can query in the Application query source but what about in the Database query source in Add-ins Or Report Writer Is this a custom field that was added for my company or does anyone else use this field as well

Has anyone found a way to handle the Portland Sick Leave policy in the LP module

We set up a multi-step job to do all of the benefits pre-payroll processing, and instead of opening each report in PDF in the print manager and then saving each report into the payroll folder for that pay period, we would like to save all of the pdf's into the payroll folder after the multi-step finishes. Is there any way to do this without using Process Flow

Every month I go into PR295, select the job name, adjust the dates for the new month, and then submit the job.  I have to do this several times for many different jobs.  Is there anyway I can modify the dates for every job at the same time and then submit them all at once

Has anyone been able to get the PA52 actions to process for a secondary role via an addins  We were always under the impression that it could not be done but am just wondering if anyone has been successful.

We are setting up a FSA Dependent Care deduction code on the PR05.  For the Tax Status field, there is a value of '10 - Dep Care/Separate' and a value of '11 - Dep Care/Married'.  Does this mean that we will need to setup 2 deduction codes Can we get around this by only setting up a deduction code for 'Married'

Sorry folks this apears to be my week for questions that have never been brought up to me before in the 7 years I have been working with Lawson... Lawson 9.01 The field lookup on the PA52.1 is a button with V on it.  It takes us to HRSC.1 (select control) which has no search function.  But on the PA52.5 the field lookup button is the drill around button that takes us to the searchable list for that particular code/field.  Are there any changes we can make to the PA52.1 to allow for the...

New Hires/Rehires come over from our recruiting system and then processed via a process flow.  On occasion (probably too many...) we have employees who change their new hire dates.  They are normally pushed out at least two weeks.  Currently, we simply change the hire dates via one of the hire actions we use.  But for reporting purposes I am not sure about the process we are using and whether or not it is the best way to handle it. 1.  When you have a new hire change hire dates, what steps do...

Good Morning: Does anyone have a working pa49.3 MSAddins template to upload employee health tests for an applicant.  I can't get these tests to upload and I've tried so many variations of the screen setup.  Thanks

We currently have position management set up to have 1 position per many employees. We are looking to put position control in place. So far the discussion has been to assign one position per employee. Has anyone been through this type of change with their current system and if so any recommendations on best practices Thanks, Jude

Hello everybody, hope someone can help me figure out this issue.  Benefits isn’t able to change EE to termed. The PA100 is saying “Time recs or one time deductions exist”. Employee till has time records in PR30, which is preventing Benefits from changing her status to termed. It looks like her accruals have been paid out, but the REG hours are still in Lawson (PR30.1) I opened a ticket with Lawson and I was told to manually delete the timerecord for the employee from PR30. PA100 rerun and sti...

We have a senior executive that wants to have 70 of his wages taxed at the NY rate and 30 of his wages taxed at Connecticut rate.  Is there an ability to set this up through Lawson and if so, how

We currently enter all 401k and 403b deferral changes manually.  Does anyone have an MS-addin template they can share to uplaod the deferral changes to BN32.  The manual entry is becoming quite burdensome and prone to data entry mistakes. Thanks - Mike

Starting in 2014, employer medical insurance premiums are now being tracked in Lawson to report on W2.  Prior to this, there was a manual upload as the employer costs were not in the system.  Now that the employer premiums are in BN19.1 they are posting to the GL causing an astronomical increase to our payroll expense.  Is there a way to shut those codes off so they do not post to the GL but we still can report on them. Any other resolution to this

Since hours status changes aren't technically life events in lawson, how do you open up ability for employee to make online elections in ESS

We are acquiring another hospital who also uses Lawson (not sure to what extent at this point).  Does anyone know if there other options for moving data from their Lawson into our Lawson other than the conversion programs At this point, I'm thinking this would be the basic HR11 data for around 400 employees.  Thanks!

I'm looking for a report in Lawson that targets PSD codes for W2 balancing.  Does anyone have such a report or can share how they balance PA locals  We use BSI and ADP for tax filing.  We need to find a report or a way to balance PA locals from Lawson to ADP PSD report.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

We were able to get up the catagory from 17 to 92, however when we try to change the deduction on PR05 there is no catagory 92.  How do we get this catagory in Lawson

Currently, we enter our employee changes just prior to our next payroll run and they are backdated to the beginning of the current pay period.  We would like to enter those that we know about for the next pay period and use that effective date.  We have tested in Lawson and believe it will work after making an adjustment to our PA06 rule. Our interface to KRONOS is curretnly run on the Thursday before the pay period end date and they manually enter the beginning of the pay period to effective...
