Bonus payments - apportioned back to work week earned (FLSA)
We have been told that commission bonuses, etc. must be apportioned back into the workweeks in which it was earned and any additional overtime pay due to an employee for that period must be calculated and paid. (FLSA)
How can this be accomplished?

We calculate the bonus amount divided by the number of weeks in the bonus period for each employee and upload time records for the weekly amounts and with BONUS time record dated for each week using Lawson ADD-ins to PR35.2 . The PR132 will calculate the additional amounts needed if the employee had Overtime pay during the week.0

Infor Support recommended we open an Enhancement request for this FLSA issue. We would appreciate everyone voting on the enhancement to get it pushed through. Enhancement 32156

Eric: Do you do this upload "after the fact"? That is, do you go through, let's say, 5 pay periods and process as normal, and then when the employee is eligible for the bonus or incentive pay, you load 5 records with the various pay period dates entered into the date field (TRD-TR-DATE) and process that for payment? The system "looks back" at the pay during those prior pay periods and performs the FLSA calculation? My initial (quick, not the expert by any means) test isn't supporting this so I want to make sure I understand the outcome that I am looking for. Note that these prior pay periods may have had OT pay and an FLSA calculation performed at that time. ... I know this is an old thread, so I hope you're still there to answer my Q.

That is how we do it except if the payment is for 5 pay periods, we enter 10 time records - one for each week since OT is based on the workweek. If there was OT in any of those weeks, Lawson will go back and recalculate the rate at which the OT was paid and pay any additional OT dollars due.
