To enroll, complete the form (type in Web site below) and send it to your agency's payroll unit, who will purchase the pass directly from Cherriots. Your payroll unit will then distribute the pass to you monthly. Please do not return the form to the Parking and Commuting Services office. The enrollment process can take up to six weeks. If you need to purchase a pass for July, visit one of the following locations: -Cherriots Downtown Information Office, 220 High St NE -Roth's Family Markets: Keizer, Lancaster, Sunnyslope, Vista, West Salem -Chemeketa Community College Bookstore -The Keyhole, Lancaster Mall Application for bus pass: http://oregon.gov/DAS/FAC/Parking/docs/Forms/Transit_Pass_Salem.pdf "Smart Commuter" permits are part of a separate program not affected by budget cuts.

The original message is re-printed below. System Programming Enhancement Reduction for OSPS Effective April, 1, 2009 As the result of budget cuts effective April 1, 2009, State Controller's Division lost resources that were assigned to perform system enhancements to the statewide systems that we manage. These are ongoing cuts to our budget that will not be added back in the foreseeable future. OSPS has lost one full-time systems analyst. How Will This Affect Our Customers? OSPS will not be in a position to make enhancements to the Oregon Statewide Payroll Application (OSPA). For the foreseeable future, will not be able to solicit suggestions from our system users and stakeholders for improvements or changes to OSPA processes, screens, reports or other outputs. Instead, we will focus our remaining programming resources on the maintenance of the OSPA to ensure timely and accurate production of payrolls, fix known problems that could affect production, and perform the tasks necessary to implement mandated changes. Mandated changes include, but are not limited to the following: Implementation of federal or state payroll tax withholding changes Changes required for implementation of a new PEBB plan year Code or rate changes related to new or renegotiated collective bargaining agreements. Code sets required under federal and state family medical leave laws Changes required as the result of statewide payroll policy decisions. Changes prescribed by PERS Focus on Core Services We know that other agencies are experiencing similar challenges and resource reductions so we are confident that you understand our need to clearly focus on core services. We believe that our plan will fairly apply our remaining resources toward work that benefits all of our customers across all of the agencies.

Here's a link: http://oregon.gov/DAS/SCD/OSPS/docs/pubs/practice/practiceAgencyContract Review.pdf This new recommended practice is intended to help payroll officers familiarize themselves with bargained provisions, clarify provisions prior to their use, select the proper pay code to carry out the provisions and ensure timely and accurate timesheet entry. This document has a section to clarify the partnership and roles of OSPS, agency payroll and agency HR in terms of implementation and review of new and ongoing collective bargaining agreements. It also provides links to useful resources and provides a helpful CBA evaluation form and control sheet. We hope this new resource will be useful to you as the 2009 collective bargaining agreements are settled and you begin the process of implementation. We expect that this will be especially helpful to those payroll staff who are relatively new and are experiencing their first contract implementation.
