Announcements

It is time for the annual AFSCME PTO Sellback!

AFSCME employees, please use the PTO Sellback form for 2008 to sell back a portion of your accrued paid time off. The form is to be signed and submitted **DURING** the benefits open enrollment period of October 13, 2008 through October 24, 2008.

Please make sure that the signature and "DATE SUBMITTED" date happens either on or between these dates. Any form received with a date prior to or after will not be processed and returned. Please make sure the form is read and completed carefully.

Once the form is complete, it is to be forwarded to the Plant Payroll and Accounts Payable Office for processing. Accrual banks will be re-verified and adjusted accordingly in January (This is different than prior years, when the time would be taken out of the accruals as the forms were received). The sell-back will be paid in the last biweekly pay scheduled for January 16, 2009.

NOTE: **PLEASE DO NOT SEND FORMS TO THE CENTRAL PAYROLL OFFICE, THIS CAUSES THEM GREAT CONFUSION**

Some important reminders to mention:

• Once a request has been submitted, the employee cannot rescind.
• PTO balance cannot drop below 40.0 hours (prorated for part-time employees)
• Must report in whole hours - no partial.
• May sell back up to 80 hours if no PDT time was used between June 1, 2007 and May 31 2008

If you have any questions, Please contact the PPAPO Office 764-5189.

Reminder Tips for Entering Leave Time within the FMS System:

Bi-weekly employees ~

• When entering Leave time for multiple consecutive days into FMS then the time should be entered into the FMS in blocks of a week at a time. For example, let’s assume that an employee is taking 2 weeks of vacation starting July 7, 2008. The first entry into FMS would be for the dates 7/7/08 thru 7/11/08. The second entry into FMS would be for 7/14/08 thru 7/18/08. This ensures correct and accurate posting within FMS, and allows for a correct biweekly payroll & accrual transmittal to occur.
• If a week crosses months, the time should be broken up so that month end can be posted and an accurate read for accruals is available. (example week of 7/27/08 - 8/2/08, first block of time should end 7/31 and a 2nd block begins again 8/1)
• Check the Leave Balance Maintenance screen to ensure there is available time, prior to making an entry.

Monthly employees ~

• Leave time should be entered one week at a time and should be entered by the last day of the month in which the time was taken . This ensures correct and accurate posting within FMS, and allows for a correct monthly accrual transmittal to occur.
• Check the Leave Balance Maintenance screen to ensure there is available time, prior to making an entry.
