We just upgraded to LSF5/MSP3 on our Windows 9.0.1 environment and found out that it 'broke' the ESS Time Entry process. Where an employee used to be able to press 'Update' on the period/daily time entry and keep their timecard records in the 'Entered' status (Status code '0' in PRPENDTIME) until they intentionally 'Submit for Approval', now when 'Update' is pressed, the timecard status changes automatically to submitted (Status code '1' in PRPENDTIME) for all records in the pay period. ...

We are planning to stop mailing or hand delivering pay advice and make it available on-line or via email. We have a couple of options, but are wondering how other companies using Lawson accomplish this

Has anyone else noticed that the magnifying glass on the time summary page for managers in EMSS goes away from 8 to 9  We just noticed and all of our managers and documentation needs changed.  Just wanted to make sure I was just not missing a setting or something.

We would like to use a web service to validate an employee's address (coming from a application system) and to obtain the correct county. We'd like to pull it in as part of our process flow to process personnel actions. Has anyone done this and do you have any recommendations of who we should use I looked at USPS, but I don't think it will return the county nor scrub the data.

We're trying to write a SQL statement that will take multiple rows of data (in this case, emergency contact data from the PAEMERGCNT table) and combine that into 1 record per employee. As you may know, in that table, there can be multiple records (many emergency contacts) for each employee. For an interface we're doing, we need to get all the emergency contacts into one record with the fields like contact1fname, contact1lname, contact2fname, contact2lname, etc.,. Any ideas on how to do that...

Can anyone tell me if employees can view what tests are assigned on the pa49

Our current DC plan is a match percent schedule and we allow both percentage and flat amount employee contributions. We will be instituting a default contribution for anyone who doesn't specifically elect a contribution, or for those who don't specifically waive enrollment into the plan. The default will be a 3 contribution. Since the match percent schedule contribution type doesn't have a default enrollment option, I'm trying to figure out the best way to move forward. The only 2 option...

Is there a table that stores scheduled pay dates

On our RS plan type (FSA), the maximum contribution is set to $5000 annual. When I enroll online, I am allowed to go over the limit if I enroll into pending. This has worked properly for years and nothing has been changed on plan set up or enrollment set up. If web enrollments are pended to BS31, the limit should notify the employee that they cannot elect more than the amount in the contribution limit field on BN18.5. Has anyone seen this

Can anyone explain what changes occurred to the pmtout file with the lsf 9 upgrade I'm suspecting that we'll have to hire/pay our Bottom Line vendor to either tweak our current mapping for the check printing or have them rewrite from scratch, depending on what types of changes we are to expect.

The Lawson Federal W4 form in ESS will work for us, but the W4 state forms are plain vanilla out of the box. I'd like to find a vendor that maintains these types of forms and has a canned/proven method of integrating them into Lawson ESS. If you know of a vendor, will you please forward the reference Thanks.

I need to filter a drop down box in the child portion of a custom Design Studio form based on the value of a drop down in the parent section. Is there an agreed upon approach

Hey All, I have two employees that live in Maryland but work in Virgina (no reciprocity). When we run the PR299 for 2009 it is placing their county taxable wages in the position for the Maryland State Taxable Wages. (276-286 on the EFW2 file). They do not have any MD State Taxable Wages so we would have expected this to be a zero. In the past it has always placed a zero, but this year it's not. Has anyone run into this with Maryland Thanks -- Chris O.

They pay this out through payroll. These pay outs may happen periodically (not necessarily every payroll) and the amounts paid out each time need not be the same. Client wants a way of setting up these amounts and keeping track of the pay out and balance. A similar functionality is available ...
