Hi all, I am working in our testing environment to set up Position Budgeting for 2012. This will be the first time we have utilized this area of the system. When I set the position budget for my test position on PA70 and then attempt to hire a new employee in a position that is at the max of the budget it allows me to hire them and go over without any warning. If I try to move this employee out of this position it give me an error that I need to stay within the budget. Anyone know what I am ...

Need to analyze medical deductions for a a pay period along with manuals.  Initially thought that PAYDEDCTN was the best table to use.  Recently advised that should consider the PRDISTRIB table.  Doesn't the PRDISTRIB table capture the deduction info from the PAYDEDCTN  Want to make sure I'm using the most appropriate approach. Thanks Julie

We are planning how to handle our reporting of W-2 related health costs. The new regulations require the reporting of company paid health benefits on employee W-2's. Since employees can request their W-2 30 days after termination, we are looking to see what others are doing to address this in January. The areas we have identified as needs are: Company Paid Health Coverage On-Site Acute Care Clinic Costs Retail Pharmacy

Thanks, MC

I think I've been away from basic processing too long.... Is it possible to reimburse a garnishment via payroll through a reverse deduction, using the same deduction code that was withheld Or does another code need to be used, and the money moved via PR82 It shouldn't be this hard.....:crazy:

We have been playing around PA90.1 and cannot find where changes made using the form are written to any sort of a history or audit table.  We did find the OSHA table fields in the data dictionary table with a topic of 'OS' and assigned field numbers, but no place where they would be stored.  These fields were also not an option on HR10.1 - Data Item Attributes with a topic of 'OS'.  Actually, 'OS' wasn't even an option and appears that the Topic field values on HR10.1 are hard coded in the scree...

Is anyone running a Crystal Report (or any other method) to get turnover reports withing a department - ie transfers or position changes

I noticed that there is already a topic out here for PA Act 32, but I thought I would go ahead and start a new thread.  We are a PA based employer using BSI Tax Factory with Lawson, and we are currently working through what we need to do to store PSD codes for PA Act 32.  We are going to determine the correct PSD code based on a combination of the BSI municipality and school district codes. The questions I have are: What are other PA employers who use BSI Tax Factory with Lawson doing ...

I realize this is not specific to Lawson and MSS, but I am hoping it might help us as we work to role out an automated version of Employee Status Change form. Does your company allow Proxy Approvals for Personnel Actions Ie) an admin assistant forwarding an approval for a vice president or director or even manager We are a large company and this is a very common practice amoung our VPs and Directors. At the very minumum the admin assitant completes the paper form for the VP and then has the...

I am trying to find a company that is using Lawson Manager Self Service (v9.0.1) and has figured out a way to set up a proxy supervisor. We have a number of managers, director and VPs who do not fill out employment changes paperwork. It tends to be an admin assistant who does it. We are looking at rolling out some of the Personnel Actions via MSS.  We are trying to figure out how to set up a Proxy user who is not a direct supervisor or upline and would be able to complete the PA in MSS. ...

In EMSS under Manger Self Service they can click on bookmark 'Direct Reports'.  This takes them to a screen with employee name/drill around icon/emergency contacts.  When you click on the drill around it brings up what appear to be bookmark looking things.  We want to turn off all of these with the exception of 'Wage Analysis'.  We have been told it would require a modification.  Has anyone figured out in the application where you can make these appear/disappear for the manager like you can book...

Can anyone provide the steps to move payroll history I have an employee that was hired and paid. After some time, he terminated. He decided to come back to us and was rehired. When the employee rehire was entered, the SS was entered wrong so a new employee number, etc was created. The employee was paid under the wrong SS. We need to move the history from the wrong SS to the correct SS so his W2 will be correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We have a retiree who wants her payments made payable to her bank.  We entered  her bank name, address, etc. on the Payment tab of PR29.1.  However, when the check printed, it was payable to her rather than her bank.  When we drilled around on the payment while in HR11, the payment detail showed that the payment was payable to her bank.  Are we missing a step here I am new to the Lawson system and would appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

I need to find the pto balance as of an employee's termination date for 2009. Can someone give me some suggestions on how I do that Thanks in advance.

Hi All.  We have one issue left on our upgrade to the TF90d3 and that is with the CT withholding.  We are finding that the programs are not taking the supplemental wages into consideration when calculating the taxes.  I found some documentation that states 'Connecticut Annual Taxable Wage is expected to be passed into BSI TaxFactory via the Estimated Annuall Gross (EG) parameter in the Tax API.  This parameter is expected to include the employee's Connecticut taxable wages for the entire year, i...

I know that everyone is probably focused on getting through this year end, but my employer has asked to see if anyone is thinking about this new reporting requirement ( see details below)  from IRS.  If so, how is your organization handling this  Thank you Summary Notes from attorney The Treasury Office of Chief Counsel released guidance on calculating the cost of health insurance coverage for W2 reporting. While not final, the regulations are designed to allow employers to begi...

Hello! Does anyone have steps, Lawson screens, or ideas on what to do in Lawson to comply with the NY Wage Theft Protection Act

I am trying to delete a 2012 benefit from the BN32.1 screen.  However, I am getting the following error message - 'Cannot delete; payments exist'.  I cannot find this actual error message on mylawson, so thought I would try here. The employee is actually in a term status and his 2011 benefits ended on 9/30/11.  Unfortunately we rolled benefits prior to his term being entered.  So he has a deduction code set up on the PR14 for 1/1/12 through 12/31/12 as well.  But it wont let me delete that ei...

We have to go back and issue W-2's for termed employees that had Flexible Spending amounts that were ineligible so we have to show it as taxable income to the employee but we also have to indicate on the W-2 (Box 12 A & B) the uncollected tax amounts. Has anyone ever had to do this
