Tracking recruitment bonuses

Hi All,

I was wondering if and how others track bonus information in Lawson? I am looking in terms of historical purposes to store the amount and date of the bonus.

Thanks!
Stephanie

We set future bonus payments up on PR30 and then use the Time Record Comment to record additional information. We use a specific format (pay code.time record begin date.reason for bonus) to allow reporting against the comments. The pay code, date and separating the values with periods allow our analyst to connect the comment with the correct time record.

If we have an immediate, one time bonus to pay we enter include the reason with the time record when it's loaded into Lawson via PR530. This is a little trickier as I understand it to link the comment with the correct payment. I believe she does a comparison between the time record date and the date stamp on the comment to link the two together. (Our reporting is done through Access.)

Have you thought about using the new with V10, memo field. The time record would then have the pay code, time record date and details stored together in the PRTIME table.

We use a separate pay code for these bonuses. We use add-ins and crystal reporting to easily pull history.

We use the PA27 Contracts to track the recruitment bonus type, the 1 or 2 year commitment date range, and the amount given (in comments). We also have a specific pay code set up when we pay the employee, but wanted more history on the PA27. The PA27 ties in to the Smart Notes we have to notify HR or Payroll when an employee terms prior to fulfilling their contract period and has to pay a portion of the bonus back.

Hi Kathaleen - are you guys manually calculating the amount due at term? Or have you found a way to tick it down in the system? We are looking to track our commitments and prorate the amount due from the employee at term as well. Thank you!

We use PA27 to track bonus types and amounts. Process Automation sends an email to recruiters when it is due within 7 days so they can verify and request payment. Description field indicates the amount due.

Hi Margo, are you also tracking the commitment? And prorating the repayment upon termination if they have not met the time commitment? And if so, are you doing this part manually?

unknown

I believe that HR is just calculating that manually.

The PA27 tracks the original date and amount given for the recruitment bonus. We then have a report/smart note when the employee terms that alerts HR and Payroll. They currently manually calculate what the employee owes, but I am working on getting that calculation in to the Smart Notification.
