Furlough Processing in OSPA - Project Update

 

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.  

 

 

Transfers With Furlough Balances

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.  

 

Transfers With No Furlough Balance.  

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.
