Has anyone been successful in setting up a Deferred Compensation plan as a Benefit We currently have this set as a custom Deduction but would like to look into the options of setting it up as a Benefit.

Applied 9.0.1.10 and upgraded tax factory to v10 and our Local PA School District taxes are not being withheld.  In the BSI client I went through the tax locator modeling and BSI correctly returned both the local county and school district information.  Similarly, enabled debug in Lawson/BSI and ran a PR80.  the output log shows a calculated tax amount for the school district but none was withheld.     Is there anyone with employees in PA that have upgrade to TF10 or a...

I am attempting to upload some PA49 records for our non paid contractor staff. How do I get past the EE Doesn't meet elig criteria, press ok to continue message. I appreciate any help. I think I saw that the override button is f54 but I do not see that as an option in my upload wizard.

We are thinking of having some of our contractors swipe in Kronos to track hours for productivity. There is talk of pulling those hours into Lawson with an hours only pay code.  Has anyone done this Won't it produce a zero check

We have a location where we are required to pay an additional hourly amount for employees who do not qualify for our vacation plan and an additional amount per hour for employees who do not elect to carry our insurance.  We would like to keep the base pay amount (shown under pay in the HR11) and then show separate pay codes that calculate the additional amount based on hours loaded into the PR36.  Is it possible to do this without a manual calculation Example:  Hourly ...

Capturing Total Cost on form W-2 Box 12 for Health Care Coverage: How are your organizations handling reporting the total cost for health care coverage on the W-2s as required by ACA We currently have our setup looking at deduction codes, but do not create arrears for the employer portion when employees are on leave or unpaid.  We have ADP so are using the custom interface from them that uses the deduction codes, in addition to pay summary groups, pay class, and deduction classes.  We...

Has anyone ever set up non-taxable pay codes for parsonage housing allowance If so are you willing to share  your setup

We are working on adding process levels for several different global locations for the purpose of housing employee master records only.   Is there a way to add these locations without creating a new bank code for each country  We are only using this for the purpose of maintaining  organizational related data (Proc Level, job code, supervisor, location etc).  It seems like you get prompted to add more and more banking,  currency, and accounting related data when tryin...

Beginning in the 1st Qtr of 2015 Maine has broken out the old verion of the SUI/SIT file so that it is now 2 files that must be submitted.  Lawson rewrote the SUI file but did nothing about the SIT file. I have been talking with the help desk on this but it not mvong along very quick (if at all).  With the deadline coming up in a couple of weeks for submission, I was wondering what othe Maine clients are doing    

We are in biweekly 26-pay-period vacation accrual schedule in Absence Management. I have never understood why. Currently some employees are accrued at the last date of the pay period while other employees are accrued at the middle of the pay period. I am exploring different options to make our vacation plans more manageable. Does anyone have different accrual schedule other than 26-pay-period vacation accruals in place What about vacation plans that accrue only on the first two payrolls (24 p...

Hello, I will start by saying I am not very familiar with Lawson software, but I have been tasked with helping to get our ESS module to allow people to access ESS outside of our network, basically available to the web. We currently run Lawson on an iSeries system.   The person tasked with this previously has left the company and he didn't have much luck getting it working so there are few notes and documents around what was done or what needed to be done.   My basic understandi...

We just went live on LSF10 and I missed this in testing. I changed an employee's fte via PA52, then did a reverse action to change it back. The action reversed, but the position record remains. Has anyone else had this There's a KB article from 2008 but I don't see anything recently.

Since LSF10 removed the AZ Formula field and placed the Tax values in the BSI Formula field, employees in the state of Arizona are unable to use the ESS bookmark Payment Modeling. Employees in other states have no problem. If I do a PR89 within the application for AZ it works fine. Has anyone else in AZ experienced this, and if so how did you resolve it

Is someone able to provide me with screen shots of the PA52.3 screen and the tabs  We dont currently use that at my organization and I would like to show them the form and explain how it works. 

We have a custom program that I want to change to minimize data entry. Currently the user has to enter pay period start date, pay period end date, pay check dates ,etc. I want them to enter just the pay period end date and my program should lookup the pay check date. Does anybody know what files paycheck dates 

We do not use ESS.  Our benefits team does all benefit enrollment manually.  Right now it is a 3 step process. 1 - Enroll employees on BN32.1 or BN31.2 2 - Enter dependent information on HR13, 3 - Attach dependents to the benefits.  Even if we use uploads we are using 3 uploads to accomplish enrollments.  This is a very inefficient process and we're hoping that maybe there is a better more efficient way to process benefit enrollments/changes/terms.  Does anyone ...

Is there any harm is deleting old benefit termination rules (bn16.4)  I have some old rules going back a few years and would like to remove them.

We have been testing the change of our General Ledger from a calendar year to fiscal year ending 6/30. My question relates to the BN, HR, PR, LP, and PA subsystems. Is there anything within the HR/PR modules that needs to be done in preparation of this type of accounting change Our benefits will remain on a calendar year. Since payroll processing will remain on a calendar year to coincide with IRS and State tax reporting guidelines, I don't believe we would make any changes to our pay period da...

Hi All, I am trying to troubleshoot an issue in EMSS, and it would be helpful to be able to change the employee Identity on-the-fly so I can see how the page reacts for different employees.  Currently, I either have to log out-and-in as different test users, or I have to use the debugger to change the authUser.employee value - if I can catch the page at the right place. It seems to me that I used to know a way to do this via a url parameter or something - but I can't remember for sure. &n...

Can anyone provide a comprehensive Open Enrollment Checklist  I am a detailed oriented and want all my steps checked off.  Has anyone created one that can be followed 

Hello! I was wondering if there was anyone whose company offers Traditional 401(k) option and Roth with Company Match If so, what system do you use to calculate the match We need to aggregate both types of deferrals for the matching calculation. Lawson cannot first add both types of deferrals and then apply the appropriate matching formula. So, I was wondering if anyone can share how they do it   thanks!

I am trying to identify the relationship between employee and lawson portal user. As we know we can use lawson SSO servlet API to verify the user access to the portal. Is there any way we can get associated employee information like employee_id for this user login id from Lawson DB tables. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone turned on the auto assignment of numbers after manually assigning numbers for a long time We are currently manually assigning employee numbers in Lawson.  Unfortunately our numbers are not consistent and we have used four digit numbers as well as 6 or 7 digit numbers.   If we were to turn on the auto assignment of employee numbers, would it know to skip numbers that were already in use or would the random numbers that we used be a problem Ie) if we set the last number u...
