Hello, I know that the default setup for a shift differential is (rate shift diff rate) * hours, but is their a way to have just the shift diff rate * hours We are receiving a file from Kronos that gives us a person's 12 hours for a day, 9 standard REG hours, and 3 that are shift eligible. These 12 hours, are coming in an import file as two records, 12 hours with no shift code, and 3 hours with a shift code. Right off the bat we are overstating our hours by 3, plus the 3 hours are g...

I have a question about the ability to add a person to Lawson, give access to MSS, and assign employees to them that is a contractor. We have not to date had a situation of a back fill manager position that was handled by a manager that we needed to address with MSS access.

We send a file to our Cobra administrator weekly based on events in Lawson. A stopped benefit (EE or DEP) triggers the program to look at the employee and attempt to determine the reason and put them on the file. Employees can stop their benefits for a number of reasons that do not make them Cobra eligible. If you are extracting data from Lawson for Cobra processing, can you share your business logic and process TIA, Karen Lynn Schuette

Hi, I'm new here and I was wondering if any of you know where I can find information on how to set up an Arizona A-4 form properly on PR13. I tried knowledgebase and it wasn't of much help. 1:09 AM March 25

We are upgrading to 9.0 Apps in April, but our OE will be handled in 8.03 (9.0 Environment) in March.  I was mortified when our IT department told me that in order to use self service, employees would have to have a Windows network ID, and their initial login MUST be in one of our locations, on a company computer on the company network (appearently subsequent logins will be available via internet at their home). We are a retail shop with almost 3,000 employees and most locations have one comput...

How does everyone handle changes to direct deposit through ESS Does everyone allow new accounts to be added, or only changes to existing accounts Out Payroll manager is asking if we can limit the changes to just that, changes only. For some reason she would prefer that new account adds continue to go through her department. Does anyone else do this Thanks for your feedback!

We are implementing EMSS but need to see about limiting access to various screens in EMSS. Right now we have '-1' accounts for those that need daily entry/update functions. We also have regular accounts that we would like to use for EMSS functions. We are also planning to use kiosks for users that do not have a computer and placing several offsite from the main office. The problem we are having I believe is that our security tech is binding the regular account to a '-1' account and the regul...

On the eve of our start to processing payroll in Lawson 9.0, our legal counsel asked for a delay so we could review how pay rates are printing on the check stub. In California, one of the things we are specifically required to display on paycheck stubs is 'All applicable hourly rates in effect during the pay period and the corresponding number of hours worked at each hourly rate by the employee' We are looking to outsource check printing and the Lawson delivered check print file doesn't...

We are nearing the end of your testing for the upgrade from 8.1.0.5 to 9.0.1.3. We have encountered an issue with PR132. When and employee has received OT pay during a pay period and then receives a backdated pay change that includes a day the OT was previosly paid. Upon running PR132 after the backdated pay change, PR132 is overpaying OT by the amount he EE already received. In other words, it does ot recognize that the EE received OT pay at the previous rate of pay. We have been worki...

Hi - Has anyone been able to pull State Unemployment Rate and Maximum UI Contribution Limit out of BSI We see the information in the BSI console, however need to pull it into an SQL Query directly from the tables.

We have Lawson's EMSS and ImageNow. We currently use ImageNow for HR document imaging, AP and GL and it is working well, and we link from ImageNow into Lawson. We are inquiring if anyone has set up or attempting to setup a process when a Manager opens SS and is viewing their reporting employees, we can link into that employee's documents in ImageNow. So it's a link from Lawson to ImageNow. Any suggestions on how we could approach this would be appreciated.

Is there a way to enforce data entry on PA52.1 My users have to enter 1 date and one status on a certain transaction and they continually forget to enter the date, which gums up a process flow.

Does anyone know where I can find an addins to do a 'change' to PR23 records I'm thinking I need to use a hidden key, but I'm struggling with howto do it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

In ESS, if I have my husband as dependent 1 and my child as 2, this is how it shows in the EMDEPEND. In the HRDEPBEN table it REFERS to these 's in regards to WHICH dependent is on the insurnace policy. With the ability for employees to make changes, if I decide that I want to remove my husband and add my mom (for example)...there is no delete, so I may just CHANGE all of the info on dependent 1 (name, dob, ssn, relation, etc)..now dependent 1 is my mom and not my husband. The unique key re...

We looking into collecting time puches via ESS. Is there more than one way to do this in 8.03 ESS I've seen posts here about 'ESS Time Entry' but our 'Enter Time Records' bookmark does not work. Error '\lctprod\law\persistdata/lawson/portal/content/pages/pr_time_record_entry.xml - was not found'. We're on LSF9 and I'm wondering if this bookmark is not for 8.03 apps since that XML file is not there. Thanks for any info.

Does anyone know if the imputed income that the BN150 calculates for 'group term life' should be added on the earnings side AND 'washed' out with a deduction on the other side so the employee is taxed on the excess cost of the life insurance only

To handle a gift shop deduction at one of our locations we use to use PR14 and manually enter the transaction. The deduction code was setup with a descending balance type, net to zero-no arrrears. This location is now using quickcharge which is populating PR39. We were hoping that PR39 would populate PR14 and eliminate the manual entry/corrections however it's not. If payroll doesn't adjust the balance amounts every pay the PR39 records won't pull in. Is there a way to setup PR14 and/or PR3...
