PR14.2 State Lock In Withholding

We're on apps 8.1, and just received notice we need to lock in an employee's state withholding exemptions. From what I can find on the KB, Lawson has added the functionality in v9 - does anyone have a work around for earlier versions? I know, at the worst, we can check the employee's record before the payroll runs to ensure the correct marital status/exemptions are used, but I'm hoping for a less manual option. Thank you!!
