<div dir="ltr">I asked Tyler Technologies about this before I started budgeting and they responded with the following:<div><br></div><div>We are aware of the new PFLA that starts in January 2025. The State has not released any specifications on this as far as setting up as a “tax” yet so we do have to wait for that information before we can do anything on this end. If it is going to be classified as a “tax” then that is something we set up and not you; if you set one up it does not carry forward each Calendar year. Depending on how the State proceeds with this it may end up being set up as a Deduction (ee/er) and not under Tax. But again as they have not released any specifications we have not made any decisions on that yet. I do believe DOE has released some of the information on how they would like the GL accounts to be set up so you are free to start creating those accounts. If you need to set this up in Budget Development we are directing clients to set up as a Deduction in order to budget with payroll budgeting or adding under the non-request column if you have a specific amount you plan to budget for. There is NOT any way to set up in Budget as a Tax. I hope this helps for now and we will keep everyone updated as we receive more information on how this will work going forward.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jul 9, 2024 at 10:07 AM Powell, Terry <<a href="mailto:tpowell@rsu64schools.org" target="_blank">tpowell@rsu64schools.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><i>Good Day,</i></div><div><i>Can someone please tell me how you are setting up the Paid Family Medical Leave in your systems?
