Has anyone actually used PR296 to fulfill New Hire Reporting requirements If so, in what states, and under what media

We are setting up our HR structure and have many Process Levels (PL's) and depts. We have FOUR PL's that do not have a dept. I was curious to know if we should create depts for these for consistency. The HR folks indicate that these particular employees do not have a dept and therefore should just be shown under the process level. I know that if we do NOT add a dept to put them in, we will not be able to make DEPT a required field...short of that what other downfalls could we face if we ...

We are considering marking all fields in HR to store History. Is this something that could come back to bite us

I am trying to build this flat file using BN106, but keep getting 'no data to print in benefit transaction export report' Am I missing a step here Also, where does this file get created Thanks!

When a user does an update there is a field USER_ID that tells who made the change. It looks like NT00000038 , NT0000000c How can we find who is this user Thanks

We are using version 8.03 and are having problems in testing with the PR140 detail not balancing to the process level total or to the company total. It looks like the hours are doubling on the process level total page and then tripling on the company total page. It only seems to be happening on one of our process levels and consistently is out of balance even when we run the payroll for just one employee. Does anyone have a solution We have several user exits for pay codes and deducti...

Where is located info about users who have access to Lawson Portal and can we directly read it Thanks

I have looked at the technical text and am not getting what I need... The BNBEN Table has different date fields and I need to know what they are: BNBEN.Creation_Date BNBEN.Update_Date BNBEN.UPD_Date BNBEN.Enroll_Date BNBEN.Start_Date PLEASE HELP ME..................................... I am in a time pinch. Thanks Shane

I hope someone out there has figured out a workaround for this Lawson limitation. We have some employees that receive more pay in the first of the year (bonus, commissions, whatever) then they might later in the year. Thus, these employees contribute heavier to their 401(k) in the first quarter to where their entire pre-tax limit might be hit after a few months. Problem comes with the company match and how Lawson handles it. Someone that contributes 15k in three months would get ...

Anyone implement a ROTH 401(k) We are looking at this but finding it rather difficult in Lawson. Should be a simple solution but the system does not calculate limits appropriately. (sharing) Lawson says that there will be a BSI solution at some point but we want to implement now and need to know if anyone has found a good solution. Thanks in advance. Shane

We are on version 5.8.0 of eRecruit (way behind.....). We want to go to version 5.8.4. Can I get away with doing a complete new install of eRecruit version 5.8.4 and simply run the database upgrade scripts to bring our database up to date Since we are so far behind in our applications, we are having a great deal of difficulty finding all of the components to upgrade to each release in succession from 5.8.0, to 5.8.1, to 5.8.2, etc.

In Crystal is it possibel to develop a reporting hierarchy for the organization (i.e. dept's flowing up through managers, directors, etc.) If so, where can I get this data

We are trying to plan for our first year end processing with the HR Suite. I'm interested in known how others have handled this in the past with regards to: 1. What testing, if any, do you perform on the year end download from Lawson 2. If you do test this, what do you do and how do you confirm it is correct 3. Does anyone perform a complete test of the setup guidelines and run a sample payroll before doing a prod setup Any advice on year end would be helpful. Thanks.

Portal: 3.1.6 OS: Win2003 Env: 8.0.3.6 Apps: 8.0.3.7 IOS: 8.0.3.6 When enrolling in benefits we are getting the 'Mid-Year Cycles do not exist error' for our Health Care Reimbursement plans. We have entered the pay period dates, pay plans in the cycles.htm file. Also we are just doing New Hire enrollment. On the BS01 screen we have: Rule Type = N Group Name (blank) Cost Divisor = P (Pay Frequency) Immediate Update = N Display Flex Dollars = N The Annua...

Hello- I'm completely new to Lawson/HRIS management, but I'm in charge of this issue anyway! We are running Lawson 8.0.3 and currently have payroll set up to pay 2 types of staff: hourly/non-exempt and salaried/exempt; our hourly/non-exepmt staff enter hours through a Web Time Entry program tied to employee self-service. We need to set up a new group of positions that are salaried and non-exempt. I saw in another thread that at a minimum this involves creating new positions ...

'This Life Event already exists. Please contact Human Resources for assistance.' When using Employee Self Service we are getting the following message. There are instructions for fixing this per employee on the Lawson support site. However is there a better workaround A work around that would be 'Self Service' Thanks. --JayR

I am on a test environment, and I have several test employees with Education verified in HR11. However in Employee Self-Service, *NO* education is appearing in the Education bookmark. The page is just blank, ... nothing. I am in the correct productline and yes again, I have verified the Education DOES exist. This happens for ANY employee, and I've refreshed/recycled the environment. Any ideas Thank you, Roger

We're a regional hospital and issue a good number of scholarships to assist nursing students with tuition. Our recruiters have been keeping track of the scholarship awards and periodic tuition payments in an Access database. I'm on a crusade to eliminate as many peripheral ad-hoc systems as I can, for maintainance and security reasons. Now, my recruiters tell me that the IRS wants to begin taxing scholarships/tuition assistance as income (don't have all the details there.) Is anyon...

Where can I find out whether Lawson assigns Quarter based on check date or some other criteria Thanks, Gene

I am having a difficult time finding Users who have implemeted e-Recruting. Has anyone out there implemented it I'd like to have a brief discussion about your experience.

Im am using a host of tools (Report Writer, Crystal, Access) to report data against Lawson HR and Financials. However, as I get more and more complex requests, I find myself massaging the data alot in the MS Access enviroment to meet some of my reporting requirements. Id like to understand how other practitioners have their reporting environments setup. Do you use Lawson's data mart solutions Or have you built a custom DW What are the challenges you still face with your solution ...

Currently, our employees are captured in Lawson using different company codes for each country. For example, Company 11 = US, Company 12 = Canada. Up until now, we manually assign a unique and sequential number to our employees. But, now Id like to leverage Lawson's 'Auto Employee' functionality so that we do not have to manually assign them. Because each Company is considered a separate entity in Lawson, it allows the duplication of Employee numbers across Companies which we d...

We are trying to implement PR132 – FLSA OVERTIME CALCULATION in our payroll stream and are trying to figure out how to set-up and use for both Massachusetts and Rhode Island. According to the legal documentation that we have found, the following rules need to be applied for these states: Massachusetts: a) 1-1/2 times regular rate after 40 hour week for employees covered by state minimum wage law. b) Retail, drug or food stores with more than 7 employees on any day during ...
