Although our geographic differentials (tied to work location) are intended to be a percentage increase or decrease from employee Pay Rate in HR11, our implementation consultant years ago advised us to use PR30 and store our geographic differentials as recurring bonuses. To do this, for years we have had to manually determine the annual dollar impact, and enter/store that data as a weekly dollar amount. Further, because it is part of their salary, we have to export related Lawson data fields and complete associated calculations outside the system to get an hourly rate which includes the geo differential. Then, the dollar adjustments to overtime and leave pay are brought back into Lawson. We are reviewing this design concept to determine if there are best practices others use that are more efficient, where Lawson will automatically adjust the pay rate for the geo diff and calculate payment accordingly. If there are better options, we would love to consider a restructure of our current process. Thank you
