style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>A new aspect to your evaluation of all
incoming transfers will now include the evaluation of the employee’s
ongoing furlough obligation against what is or is not in the clearing account
when you receive the employee. When setting up incoming transfers, OSPA
users pull sick leave and vacation balances from the clearing account and make
them active balances in the new home agency. During the period of
furlough (now and through June 30, 2011) in most cases, you will also be
receiving furlough obligation balances in the clearing account. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>You will need to review and possibly
recalculate all furlough balances received. Your incoming employee is
bringing a furlough obligation balance that was computed based on the salary
and status at the previous agency. If your incoming employee has
received an increase or decrease in pay or changed from part-time to full-time,
their obligation may have changed. Review, recalculate and process
any needed adjustments through the P435 screen. Document the basis for
the change. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>If your agency receives an employee from
an agency or position where they collective bargaining agreement has not yet
been ratified and signed, or an agency not using furlough, your incoming
employee will have a zero furlough obligation balance. In this case, you
must manually compute the furlough obligation and adjust it through the P435. This
would also be true for employees who were temps in their previous position and
are permanent at your agency. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
