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) licensing and maintenance terms. While the replacement may offer increased functionality we feel this is unaceptable for customers who do not need it and are happy with TA. We feel that as a matter of good faith Lawson should either support TA moving ahead or reduce the cost of 9.01 and or Absence Management to soften the cost blow of the forced upgrade. What's next - spinning out the PR module to a seperate product? I look forward to everyones perspective on this!
