<div dir="ltr">Hi Katie,<div><br></div><div>We received the update last week. The deduction type is "State of ME - Paid Family and Medical Leave" not "Paid Family and Medical Leave - Maine" as noted in the instructions (insert eyeroll). Look under "State of Maine" in the drop down menu under "type" when creating the deduction and you should see it. If not, I would call or email support and request the update so you get it sooner rather than later. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jan 8, 2025 at 7:32 AM Katie Gourley <<a href="mailto:KATIE.GOURLEY@rsu25.org">KATIE.GOURLEY@rsu25.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 class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">For those of you on ERP do you have the update yet?
