[SchoolFinance] Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML) Object Codes -NOW WORKING!

[Field, Stacie]

Hi Terry,

My take was more that this is being forced on us to pay for leave, for the
most part, for employers who do not offer leave to their employees. They
should be paying for it, not every employee in the State.
My comment wasn't necessarily meaning the software treatment of it, more
the "no choice about it" as being a tax.
