OWLS Newsletter
"Who Wants to Know?"
In order to expand and improve its client service, the Online Work/Leave System team has introduced a new quarterly newsletter called, "Who Wants to Know?" This newsletter will feature timely and useful information on topics such as leave policies, updates and enhancements to OWLS, leave use and payout deadlines, and updated FAQs. The first edition was distributed by email to all OWLS administrators and timekeepers on December 4, 2006.
