HR55.1 - Employee Group Definition

Use HR55.1 (Employee Group Definition) to define employee group names and to
select the data items you want to use as criteria for the groups.

Employee groups let you group employees with common criteria. You can use
employee groups for personnel actions, creating automatic time records, time
accrual plans, and determining eligibility for benefit plans. You can also use
employee groups for online inquiries, standard listings or reports.

The Lawson Benefits system uses employee groups to determine plan
eligibility, coverage, contributions, and general ledger overrides. The
Benefits system also uses employee groups to apply rules for adding, changing,
and terminating employee benefits.

Examples of employee groups include active full-time employees, salaried
employees, hourly, managers, and supervisors.

You can create groups within groups. For example, you can create a management
group that includes the manager and supervisor groups. The management group
will reflect any changes made to the manager or the supervisor group.

To define the groups, you can use job codes, employee groups, employee codes,
or any data item from HR11.1 (Employee).

After employee groups are defined, employees are automatically moved into and
out of groups as their eligibility changes.

See the Lawson Human Resources Procedures Manual for more information on
creating employee groups.

HR55.2 - Employee Groups By Employees

Use HR55.2 (Employee Groups By Employees) to define an employee group that
includes employees who do not have any common criteria, such as members of a
committee. You can also use this screen to add individual employees to a
group, who do not meet the selection criteria defined for the group.

If you use HR55.2 to add employees to a group, you do not need to run HR155
(Employee Group Update) to include those employees in the group. However, if
you use this screen to delete an employee from a group, you must run HR155 to
remove the employee from the group.

HR55.3 - Employee Groups By Criteria

Use HR55.3 (Employee Groups By Criteria) to define values for the data items
you select in HR55.1 (Employee Group Definition). For example; if, in HR55.1,
you select employee status as criteria for a group, use this screen to select
the status(es) to include or exclude from the group. The values you define
must be valid values for that item.

Once you define selection criteria for the group, you must run HR155
(Employee Group Update) to create the group. When you make a change of any
kind to the selection criteria, you must rerun HR155 for the system to
recognize the changes.

If you make a change to an employee in HR11.1 (Employee) or PA52.1
(Individual Action), you do not need to run HR155 again. The system
automatically moves the employee into and out of the affected groups and keeps
a history of such changes.
