Process Level Setup for Acquired Company

andy-robinson

I am working with a healthcare client that is integrating two instances of Lawson. In the conversion to the new version, the acquired company is considering moving from over 100 process levels (EIN + Location = Process Level), to just one process level with a common pay master. Technically, there are 8 EINs with employees that could be setup on PR06 as additional EINs. I have recommended keeping 8 process levels, one independent head process level and the rest dependent.

Considering regulatory issues such as tax, unemployment and AA/EEO reporting, are there any major considerations for the one process level structure?

Unemployment doesn't recognize connom pay masters so if you still need to roll up any RE process levels you will need to keep the process levels separate. We have a common pay agent and still maintain our different process levels, dependent and independent, so UI reporting rolls into each RE like it should.
