PA52


PA52.1 - Individual Action



Use Individual Action (PA52.1) to implement actions for an individual
employee.
An action either updates Employee (HR11.1) immediately or is pending;
you can change a pending action before it updates HR11.1. To update HR11.1
with a pending action, run Action Update (PA100). The system validates fields
in HR11.1 and a personnel action the same way.



**More Information

You can add comments associated with a personnel action. When you save
an immediate action, the comments subform appears. If the action is updated
immediately, you can add the comments once and may not access them again.
When you save a pending action, you can choose the Comments button to define
comments about the action. You can maintain comments until you run PA100
(Action
Update) and update the action.
If you select the Fill Defaults form action, current defaults for the
position display.  Depending on how you set up position defaults in Position
Item Attributes (HR10.2) you cannot override some of these defaults.
Use PA52.1 to automatically start and stop required deductions for the
employee. Employees are eligible for required deductions if they meet the
criteria defined on PR03.1 (Deduction Required Code).
If you use the Benefits system and the action you are adding is a COBRA
occurrence, the action creates a COBRA participant record in BN70.1 (COBRA
Participant). For information on occurrences and COBRA, see the Benefits
Procedures
Manual.
Special processing functionality is available:
Override the history correction method defined on Action (PA50.1) or
the company default set on HR00 when correcting employee history files with
retroactive changes.  Change the effective date of a pending action by
entering
a new effective date.   Reverse an action that has been updated.   Combine
this action with a previously updated action. Move information from another
position level into this level.

PA52.2 - Mass Pay Action



Use Mass Pay Action (PA52.2) to change the primary (Level 1) rate of
pay for an individual employee or a group of employees based on a percent
change, an amount of  change, or a new rate of pay. The system validates
fields
in Employee (HR11.1) and a personnel action the same way.


NOTE  You cannot use PA52.2 to change pay and currency. Instead, use
Employee Conversion (HR511) if you need to change pay and currency for a large
number of employees.

PA52.4 - Hire an Applicant



Use Hire an Applicant (PA52.4) to select the actions you want to perform
when you employ an applicant.
You can choose up to ten actions that update the Employee (HR11.1) record.



**Processing Effect

If you choose more than one action, the system combines all actions
before it employs the applicant. If two or more actions have the same data
items associated with them, the system uses the  fields from the action with
the largest number in the Nbr field on this form.
If you select the Fill Defaults form action, the current defaults for
the position or requisition display. Depending on how you set up position
defaults in HR10.1 (Data Item Attributes), you cannot override some of these
defaults.
PA52.4 either updates Employee (HR11.1) immediately or is pending; you
can change a pending action before it updates HR11.1. Run Action Update
(PA100)
to employ applicants with pending hire actions.
If you use position codes, you must include all your defaulted fields
on one action because the system checks the position to make sure no override
fields are filled in. Lawson recommends that Position be part of the
applicant's
first action.
If you use multiple pending actions, you must include process level
as a data item in the first action. This form checks the first action to
determine
the new employee's work country, which is defined on the process level.
Fields that you define as required on Data Item Attributes (HR10.1)
are required on this form.

PA52.5 - Position and Job Action



Use Position and Job Action (PA52.5) to implement position or job actions
for an employee.
PA52.5 is the only action form on which you can change information for
Levels 2 through 98.
You can add comments associated with a personnel action. When you save
an immediate action, the comments subform appears. If the action is updated
immediately, you can only add the comments once and may not access them again.
When you save a pending action, you can choose the Comments button to define
comments about the action. You can maintain comments until you run Action
Update (PA100) and update the action.



**Processing Effect

PA52.5 updates Employee (HR11.1) with primary (Level 1) position or
job information and Multiple Positions, Jobs (PA13.1) with Level 1 through
98 position or job information. An action either updates these forms
immediately
or is pending;  you can change a pending action before it updates the forms.
To update HR11.1  and  PA13.1 with a pending action, run PA100 (Action
Update).
The system  validates  fields in HR11.1 and PA13.1 and a personnel action
the same way.

This form does not update Multiple Position, Job History (PA13.2).

If you select the Fill Defaults form action, current defaults for the
position display. Depending on how you set up position defaults in Position
Item Attributes (HR10.2) you cannot override some of these defaults. In
addition,
some fields apply only to primary (Level 1) positions. If HR10.2 topic PO
items are set to 3 (Default;No Override), the PA50.1 action
should include ALL "default;no override" fields on any action where they
change
a position.

Use PA52.5 to automatically start and stop required deductions for the
employee. Employees are eligible for required deductions if they meet the
criteria defined on Deduction Required Code (PR03.1).
If you use the Benefits system and the action you are adding is a COBRA
occurrence, the action creates a COBRA participant record in BN70.1 (COBRA
Participant).  For information on occurrences and COBRA, see the Benefits
User Guide.



**More Information


Special processing functionality is available. Override the history
correction method defined on Action (PA50.1) or the company default set on
HR00 when correcting employee history files with retroactive changes. Change
the effective date of a pending action by entering a new effective date.
Reverse
an action that has been updated. Combine this action with a previously updated
action. Move information from another position level into this level.
