    On the eve of our start to processing payroll in Lawson 9.0, our legal counsel asked for a delay so we could review how pay rates are printing on the check stub.

    In California, one of the things we are specifically required to display on paycheck stubs is
    "All applicable hourly rates in effect during the pay period and the corresponding number of hours worked at each hourly rate by the employee"

    We are looking to outsource check printing and the Lawson delivered check print file doesn't provide the specific rate. Therefore our check printing vendor is printing a 'reverse" calculation of the earnings to derive the rate and that rate is only the "premium" (i.e. "Base Rate" is $10/hr, "Overtime Premium", not rate, is listed as $5/hr). Our legal counsel has advised us that this does NOT meet the criteria of "all applicable hourly rates in effect".

    FYI, we feed raw hours into Lawson from our POS system and calculate the gross to net including overtime, double-time and allocation of overtime for payroll processing, the send the Lawson delivered file out to the vendor for check printing.

    Can anyone weigh in on how they have accommodated this California requirement using Lawson Payroll? We are trying to avoid a technical modification to the Lawson delivered check print process.
    Thanks,
