Subject: [DAS_Centralized_PERS_Services_Team] LWOP Reporting Update

Good afternoon,

As we approach the end of May, we have begun receiving reports back from agencies along with a lot of great questions about the LWOP reporting process.

Here are some clarifying statements about this process that may be helpful to you:


*         The list you receive from CPERS includes only employees that had 88 or more hours of LWOP coded in the month. This is because 88 hours or more is what PERS considers "the greater portion of the month" and if an employee misses less than 88 hours, we do not need to report those hours to PERS as service credit would not be impacted. If you feel someone has been missed, please add them along with an explanation in the comments section.

*         When listing the dates of LWOP, no need to break for days off. Example, if someone works Mon-Fri and was gone for two weeks, then this can be listed as one block i.e.; 1/1-1/14.

We have made some minor design changes to the spreadsheet layout and instructions that we hope will alleviate some of the confusion we've encountered this quarter. I have attached the changes here for your viewing. The next quarter report you receive will be in this format.

Thank you to those of you who have sent your reports in already. If you are still working on yours, please don't hesitate to email or call your CPERS Analyst at Central PERS Services Team * DAS Central.PERSServicesTeam at oregon.gov<mailto:Central.PERSServicesTeam at oregon.gov> with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,
