You are sent weekly reports from leave of absence administrator FMLASource. The reports are delivered overnight every Sunday and come from FMLACenter@fmlasource.com. The Leave Status and Changes Report lists active leaves, new leaves requests, and changes to existing requests. The Leave Usage Report lists time usage that must be time coded in the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Payroll system if the employee missed work. You will also receive a communication from the Leaves team that will assist your time keyers (or you) with coding for your staff that are on leave. You can read more about this in the Time Keyer section below. 

Please note that these reports do not contain the most up to date information regarding someone's Paid Leave Oregon status. The Leaves team is actively working with FMLASource and The Standard to improve this process. 

The following action is required: 

1. Ensure your time keyer is listed as an 'assigned contact' for each employee in the report. If not, please forward the report to them as they didn't receive it. You are responsible for ensuring all absences are time coded in payroll and approving time submission for employees you supervise each month. Additional time coding instructions can be found in the next section of this webpage for Time Keyers. If employees miss work and are not time coded they may be paid in error as though they had worked.
   
   
2. On the FMLASource Leave Usage report only, confirm that your employees 'reported hours' on the report match their work schedule. If an update is needed, e-mail ServiceTeam3@FMLASource.com and copy leave@pps.net with the update. Be sure to include the employees name, employee ID number, dates of leave usage needing correction, the employees scheduled days per week and scheduled hours per day in your request.
   
   
3. If the leave approval status is listed as denied in the FMLASource report additional review is required by you. A denied decision means that the employee may not be authorized to be off work. You can login to the FMLASource website to check the most current status.
   
   When a leave request is denied, the employee may have an additional line in the FMLASource report for an ADA leave request in a requested or approved status. You can contact ada@pps.net for status updates on this type of request.
   
   If the request has been denied and the employee still needs to be off work, have the employee contact leave@pps.net for next steps. If the employee already had related unexcused absences, follow up with your Employee and Labor Relations Manager for next steps.

Based on the feedback received over the last year, we are no longer using Smartsheet to communicate top off. 

At this time, top off instructions come directly from leave@pps.net. This communication includes instructions on how to code for your employee based on their Top Off election, how much Top Off and which leave balances to use for top off (you may also use the list under General Information). Please note that some staff may not have the Paid Leave OR (Unpaid) earnings code. Staff who do not need to have this earnings code applied will show N/A in that space. If you have questions on how to code after receiving this communication or if you did not receive this communication and believe you should have, please reach out to leave@pps.net for assistance.
