We are in the process of rolling out ESS to 4,000 users on LSF9 and are trying to limit the maintenance on ESS passwords.&160; I have a few questions: What logic do you use to assign the initial ESS password (ex. birth yearlast 4 of SSN) Do you allow ESS users to change their password Do you force users to change their password after initial log on Do Lawson users have two separate ID's, one for ESS/MSS and a separate ID if they are a Lawson application user Thank...

My organisation needs to create 2 extra records on TIMERECORD (before PR140 is run)&160;from existing ones, for each employee that&160;is enrolled in a Deferred&160;Compensation plan (similar in nature to 401K). The two records&160;will have positive and the other, negative Wage amounts to offset each other. The user&160;has determined that Lawson cannot handle both 401k and this plan effectively without this customization. Has anyone here ever successfully created custom TIMERECORD records...

My company recently upgraded to Lawson 9.0. We are in the process of converting some of our plans and using the BN103 to stop benefits and BN531 to enroll them in new plans. My question is, how can this be done in the new Lawson since there is no place to upload the file created by BN103 and you cannot define CSV attributes in the new Lawson 9. Any help would be appreciated.

I had a user enter about 300 one time benefit deductions using a date later than our check date (oops) which was discovered during our payroll cycle.&160; I had no problems using PR539 to delete the deductions, but when using the same file format, etc., trying to add them back in I couldn't get past the error 'no records found to process'. Because of a time crunch, I followed Lawson's KB article, and used the add-ins to upload to PR39.2.&160; Quite a few employees had multiple benefit deductio...

Our employee groups are slightly out of sync thanks to a two-week period where PA100 did not move employees to the appropriate groups all of the time. We've fixed that issue but are stuck with inaccurate groups. We have 32,000 employee records and about 2500 groups (they drive network access, distribution lists, etc). Running an HR155 for 'All Groups' (option 3) would sync groups and employees...but this takes 3-4 days to completely process given the volume. Has anyone found a good way to upda...

I must be missing something ...&160;&160; I setup a couple bookmarks for a group and wanted the bookmarks to automatically show up for the associates that are assigned to that group.&160;&160; However, they will all have to 'subscribe' to see the new bookmark.&160;&160; Is there something that I can do that will just make the bookmarks appear the next time they log into portal Thanks Shane

I'm looking for some guidance on how companies have setup both a 403B employee deduction and a Roth deduction with company match on both.&160; Currently we allow both a flat $ amount deduction or a and the match is capped at 10 of the employee contribution upto 5 of the total employee income.

We are on Lawson HR Suite 8.0.3.&160; We are converting Canada employees onto our system.&160; Canada requires paychecks for Quebec residents to be printed in French.&160; Has anyone already done this using the Lawson PMTOUT file or some other means of Lawson data as input Lawson stated they have partners that will print the checks and all that is needed is to check the French language indicator on the PMTOUT file and send the file to their partners.&160; We spoke with their 'partners' and...

I am trying to set up my payroll to use FLSA&160; rules(PR132).&160; Policy states Sunday work is overtime regardless of any other hours worked in the pay period.&160; How do I set up for this since it may not be over 40 hours total.&160; Thanks

Hi, does anyone have this issue If an employee has hours only paycode (ie. Leave no Pay 80 hours for biweekly) the PR139 doesn't create arrears for pre-tax deductions. It creates for post tax deductions. The hours only paycode is in the appropriate payclasses which these pre tax deductions calculate from. The arrears setting in PR05 is set to A (create arrears). If you don't have this problem, how are the setups for the deduction, paycode and ded/pay classes Thanks.

We had an absence plan that was for all employees (LP01).&160; Everyone accured at the exact same accural rate.&160; One plan (Lp01) one group (GR1) one structure, etc. GR1 group had the critera of everyone in a full time or part time with benefits employee status. Then management needed to change the accrual rate for financial reasons, and they wanted to grandfather everyone who was hired prior to 7/1/2008 into the existing accural rate and create a new accrual rate for employees hired afte...

Lawson recently announced that the Time Accrual module will not be supported in release 9.01 of HR and that the Absence Management module is the migration path. This is an 'add on' module that carries a steep initial purchase price and additional annual maintenance. It also opens up the customer to Lawson's new (aka more costly) &160;licensing and maintenance terms. While the replacement may offer increased functionality we&160;feel this is unaceptable for customers who do not need it and are ...

We're trying to allow ess users to enter their mileage via the ess time entry form using the HS01 form setup - but somehow PAY UNITS form field doesn't exist in HS01. The pay code and everything else is setup - just the ess time entry form is not. I tried modifying the PRTIMEFORM to include the field, which worked okay, but the field did not update PRPENDTIME, PAY_UNIT field (which I knew it wasn't) because those fields are not tied together...&160; does it make sense Has anyone impleted this...

We have just upgraded from 7.226 to 9.0.&160; I am trying to change my set up to use flsa regulations.&160;My problem is if we pass the overtime paycode it calculates the average weighted rate by dividing total 'regular dollars on the regular paycode by regular hours paid on the regular pay code.'&160; We also have a paycode that goes toward overtime that has hours but not money.&160; If I don't pass the overtime paycode, it&160; divides total dollars by total hours which the non paid payco...
