<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#1F497D">Hello Payroll Professionals,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#1F497D">We’ve recently discovered that the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act (the CXT code in our payroll system) has a soft limit of 400 hours. Just like
regular FMLA, the E-FMLA has exceptions. We have removed the current limit from the system, but in its place we are creating an exception that will show up in your leave report E455 when an employee exceeds the 400 hours.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#1F497D">When someone at your agency shows up on this report, please work with your agency FMLA coordinator to make sure that the employee is allowed the appropriate amount
of E-FMLA (CXT) hours. We will send a follow up once we are ready to migrate this change to production along with the message that will appear on the exception report. Please note that anyone that has prematurely been limited by this 400 hour rule (that
has now been removed), may need adjusting. We urge you to work with your agency FMLA coordinator to verify that the limitation was valid.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#1F497D">I want to also remind you that E-FMLA (CXT) has a two week preliminary period that is to be filled in by some other leave code. For example, if an employee has
used CXT for the last three weeks of August, the two weeks before that would need a leave code with a 4 (SL4, etc.) or CV code. Again, please work with your agency FMLA coordinator to make sure that the employee is using the appropriate leave codes on the
appropriate days. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
