On November 29, 2017, the City Council adopted recommendations from the citywide Sick Leave Work Group to implement changes to FMLA leave. Effective January 1, 2018, the current FMLA leave codes “F1” and “F2” will be eliminated from eCHRIS. Under the new changes, employees will be able to choose whether to use FMLA leave from their available sick or vacation banks, whether the employee is caring for themselves or a qualifying family member. Once the employee has identified which leave bank to use, FMLA leave will be designated under one of the following codes: “FMLA Sick” or “FMLA Vacation”. This change allows the employees the freedom and flexibility to manage their FMLA leave and leave banks based upon their preferences. Note: The employee is responsible for selecting whether to use “FMLA Sick” or “FMLA Vacation” leave code. Additionally, the immediate supervisor has the ability to enter the employee’s requested leave code. Please be advised that no changes have occurred with FMLA administration through FMLASource. All current processes will continue to be administered as usual. Please continue to follow your current call-in procedures. If there are any questions or concerns, please contact your department HR Liaison or the FMLA Administration team at fmla@phoenix.gov. Our holiday party was a smashing success; thanks to everyone who attended. AFSCME 2960 wishes you happy holidays and a happy new year.
We have been made aware that a sophisticated phishing and phone scam appears to be targeting AFSCME membership. The email is coming from the scam email address info@afscme.us.com and urges members to fill out a form to avoid furlough days. The reported phone calls say that members owe money to AFSCME. Obviously, none of this is true.
These scams are not affiliated with AFSCME and the union has no control over them. Please do the following:
We are actively tracking down who is behind them. If you have any questions, please contact AFSCME IT hotline at 202-429-1122. Attached is the schedule for Open Enrollment & DEVA information sessions. A vendor has been chosen and employees with family coverage have to submit marriage certificates and birth certificates to prove family members on their policy are eligible. If not, the family member(s) will be dropped.  
We now have Commissioned Notaries available to our members and their immediate family for no charge. Call the hall to check availability, or email notary@afscme2960.org to schedule an appointment. Both are officers, and will be at most of the monthly member meetings if you need documents notarized.
