NOTE: No agency action is required for the January 11, 2001 paycheck, if the rate remains the same and no end date has been reported.

OSC will continue these deductions in 2001 at their current rate with the current goal amount, if no end date has previously been reported, or until a future end date has been reported.

OSC will automatically zero out the goal balance if the employee had a deduction in the 1999 - 2000 calendar year.

OSC will produce and mail a listing of employees who will have their deduction continued in 2001 if no agency action is taken. OSC will zero out the goal balance at the end of each calendar year.
