Has anyone ever forced ESS to pass all capital letters to Lawson (EMDEPEND table) when updating dependent information in Employee Manager Self-Service. I am ok with not customizing the ESS page and allowing users to enter lower case letters during enrollment but was wondering if we could force the data to be passed in all caps. I'm not strong in JavaScript. Thanks.

Over the last few years I have invested hundreds of hours creating C objects to simplify accessing Lawson v9 through their Internet Object Services (DME/AGS/servlets or whatever the cool kids are calling them these days.) I use them heavily in my custom .NET new-hire interface I created to move applicants from our third-party applicant tracking system to hire them in Lawson and perform updates to and from our third-party onboarding system. We're about to kick off our upgrade to v10 soon. Am I ...

I am attempting to update supervisor codes on HR11 via an Add-Ins update query. The only fields I have included in the query are: Line F/C, Company, Employee, Supervisor, Effective Date...and I'm running it using the 'Change Only' option. However, I keep getting the error 'User Field Has Not Been Added', in spite of the fact that I am not touching any of the user fields, nor are any of the user fields designated as 'Required'. I am a bit confused by this so I am hoping someone in the community...

I read in the IRS instructions that all errors needed repair.  But I also found on the web that the IRS will accept your file with the Accepted With Errors status.  I had two employees with TIN errors; but when I checked them on BSO, they matched what I sent just fine. Anyone else have something similar Thank you!

We are currently in the process of implementing v10 S3 Payroll.  We would like to know how to configure the system in order to pay our shift differentials (Shift 1, 2 3 premiums) that are tied directly to job codes as a separate pay code (Shift 1 Diff, Shift 2 Diff, Shift 3 Diff).  Our base rate is paid as regular pay.  As an example, an employee has a base rate of $10/hr, and is in a job that has a Shift 2 differential of $3/hr.  We would like our registers and checks to show 8 hours of shift 2...

We are in the process of evaluating suitability of Lawson for Canadian payroll. We would like to hear from those that are using Lawson for Canadian payroll before we go down this path.  - Did you designate Canada as a process level or a separate company. What are the merits and demerits of using a separate company - Do you have the requirement to enroll Canadian employees in a USD denominated benefit plan while they are paid in Canadian dollars - We were told that Infor has discontinued their...

Benefits is considering setting up medical premiums based on an employee's status and salary.  Has anyone done this and would be will to share how you made it work  I'm not sure where to begin and would appreciate hearing about other's experiences.  What about employees who have changing salaries throughout the year  The premium should change as employee salaries change.

We run US payroll and are currently testing Canadian payroll.  One of the issues we have encountered is with the a qualifier header that needs to be added to the bank file for the Royal Bank of Canada. Has anyone added a customized header to the file that is generated from the PR160

Asking to see if anyone processes Payroll without using BSI If so, how do you handle the tax tables, etc.

Currently if an employees goes through ESS and completes either the divorce or marriage family status change, it automatically updates their name (if they indicate the change) and changes their marital status.    We are trying to determine if there is a screen where we can either set a notification to go to a specific email address (like tax or address change) or if we can set it pending until it is approved by an administrator    Thanks,

My company provides a LTD plan that pays 60 of your salary if you are disabled.  This premium is company paid.  At the time of disability, the 60 pay an associate receives is taxed.  We would like to change this moving forward by taxing each associate on the company paid premium amount.  This will then allow an associate that needs to go on LTD to receive their 60 tax free. The company paid premium is not the same for everyone.  It based on an associates salary.  The formula is:   Annual...

Are there any users out there in the Users in restaurant/service industry I have questions regarding the TP135 and minimum wage

We applied BSI Cyclic 10.0.m in our development environment. After this we are unable to add job in LP140. We receive Security Violation error. However we have not applied the same cyclic update in our QA environment and we dont experience this issue there. We have a open ticket with lawson as well. But not much of progress. Curious to know if anybody here as experienced similar issue after applying BSI Cyclic 10.0.m.

I am looking to see if anyone is tracking years of experience by position and include experience from previous employers, if so how   There was a post on this topic 5 years ago and a couple of suggestions were to use benefit dates 1-5 or position assignment date.  Neither of these options will work in our organization.

Can a balance be front loaded to an LP plan at the beginning of each year through an automated process  We know that this is process is able to be done through add-ins.  But we were wondering if there is any way to run an automated process to do the upload.

The employee’s 401K deferral election is 75. The deduction code is set up to “Net Zero/No arrears” however this is not occurring. The system took 25 while leaving a net amount. Based on the set up I would have expected the net amount to be zero. Has anyone run into this before Thank you

For ESS  users ,while user make changes to  benefits , is there a way to see the Audit and say who made the change

Hi, Based on our observation, Lawson has no currency conversions between Benefits and Payroll.  Is anyone using multiple currencies in benefit plans and payroll I would be interested in knowing the pitfalls before going that route. Lawson requires that benefit plan currency must match HR11 employee currency, but we also have a situation where non US employees have to be covered under USD denominated plans. Has anyone implemented a similar requirement Thanks

Our BS05 is set to allow New Hire Enrollment 30 days from Ben Date 1.  We have an instance where an employee was allowed to enroll on 7/27/16 when their Ben Date 1 was 6/27/2016.  The BS05 field help clearly states the 'this number of days (30) starts on the date in the From Date field (in our case, Ben Date 1).'  Any ideas on how this employee was allowed to enroll on the 31st day  Thanks.

What we would like to do is make modifications to the ESS pages particularly around the benefit enrollment screens. I'm familiar with the portal ESS pages and directory structure and comfortable with modifying HTML and Javascript. But what I'm trying to accomplish is to have all of the pages live in \lawson\custom\ and have the \xhrnet and \xbnnet folders and pages remain exactly as they are delivered by Infor. My problem is that it seems everything is highly integrated to those delivered xhrnet...

Hi everyone. We are a healthcare org using Lawson (v10).  Our compensation team would like to have the ability to track employee years of experience in Lawson, capturing both external and internal experience with the ability to report YOS by internal/external experience and/or jobcode/position.  It would need to be able to be dynamically updated as people continue to be employed internally, leave and return (a frequent occurrence), and move through different roles internally. Has anyone impleme...

Please excuse cross-post   When we deployed Lawson ESS externally in 901, we had some code that removed the search box and any bookmarks other than ESS from our core users.     We are trying to do the same thing in Lawson 10 but apparently the same code doesn't work.     Has anyone successfully done this  Would you be willing to share how you've done it     Thanks is advance.     I  appreciate it.

Has anyone had experience with an employee who wants to contribute twice the annual limit to their 457(b) According to the IRS: Right now, the employee's 457 contributions are stopping at $18,000 but we need them to stop at $36,000. Thanks!!

Looking to see if anyone has started a database, spreadsheet or document on how they are resolved Lawson error messages.  Seem odd that there is no help behind the errors.   Thanks

Our system currently has all employees records since several decades. We would like to purge any data before year 2001 (retain only 15yrs of data). Pl advise how do we accomplish how easy or hard it is
