To accommodate these provisions, last night, we removed the edits in OSPA that limited the number of hours of LA an employee can use in a month. Because OSPA operates on a monthly pay period and employee schedules vary significantly, we cannot implement limits for a week. This means that if the applicable CBA has limitations for LA usage, agency payroll will need to institute manual monitoring.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>If you have questions, contact <a href="mailto:OSPS.Help@state.or.us">OSPS.Help@state.or.us</a></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Katherine Bremser</span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br></span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Training Coordinator</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Oregon Statewide Payroll Services</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>State Controller's Division</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Department of Administrative Services</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> <br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>503-373-0738</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> <br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Online Resource Center: <a href="http://oregon.gov/DAS/SCD/OSPS/"><span style='color:black'>http://oregon.gov/DAS/SCD/OSPS/</span></a> <br>Data Classification: Level 1 - Published</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>How are we doing?</span></b><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>Please complete our customer service survey:</span></b><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SCD_Feedback"><i><span style='color:maroon;text-decoration:none'>http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SCD_Feedback</span></i></a></span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>Your opinion matters</span></b><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>Thank You!!</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
