<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">You may be experiencing system slowness as there is an issue with the PPDB to Payroll interface. OSPA will be turning off the interface until the issue is resolved. You may
continue to access and process records in PPDB. Actions processed will be held in queue until the interface is restored so you will not see them in Payroll immediately. We will let you know once the issue has been resolved. Please contact
<a href="mailto:Group.PPDB@state.or.us">Group.PPDB@state.or.us</a> if you have any questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
