Common use of Security Clearance Requirement Clause in Contracts

Security Clearance Requirement. ‌ As a Federal DOE contractor FBP has a responsibility to properly and efficiently submit for processing DOE security clearance applications for FBP positions requiring clearances. Obtaining a DOE security clearance within one year and maintaining that clearance to work in these positions is a condition of employment. The employee must provide all the clearance application paperwork per the prescribed time frames to assure timely approval. If an employee is unable to acquire a DOE security clearance in one year, or has a security clearance suspended by DOE, he/she may be temporarily reassigned for up to six (6) months, if a position is available. If no positions are available, the employee will be placed on an unpaid suspension of up to one (1) year to permit time to pursue an appeals process or otherwise have the issue successfully resolved. If the security clearance is obtained or reinstated during that period the employee shall return to his/her former position, if it still exists. If the security clearance situation is not resolved, i.e. obtained or reinstated, within one year FBP may terminate the employment of the individual. The Company shall provide assistance to ensure that the worker is provided every opportunity to use the DOE security clearance appeals process.
