Last year, a full pay analysis was completed within one of our divisions. For employees whose salary was deemed above market rate, pay rate was modified to market; however, the salary differential was grandfathered, as to not adversely impact these employees.
We used a PR30 to store the grandfathered amount as a recurring bonuses. To do this, we had to enter/store the grandfathered salary 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 back to an hourly rate which includes the grandfathered amount. 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 grandfathered amount and calculate payments for overtime and leave rates accordingly. If there are better options, we would love to consider a restructure of our current process. Thank you
