Termination of Participation If the Administrator determines in good faith that the Executive no longer qualifies as a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as determined in accordance with ERISA, the Administrator shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to cease further benefit accruals hereunder.
EVIDENCE OF PARTICIPATION All Training Services delivered by the Training Provider to an Eligible Individual must be supported by Evidence of Participation in accordance with the remainder of this Clause 11 for each unit of competency, such that a reasonable judgement regarding an Eligible Individual’s participation in Training Services can be made. The Training Provider must maintain documented evidence of engagement by the Eligible Individual in the learning and/or assessment activity. Except as permitted under Clause 11.5 of this Schedule 1, to be valid, evidence must contain the Eligible Individual's name or identification number, a unit of competency identifier and a date. The Department will determine if the evidence provided is sufficient to substantiate the claim that the Eligible Individual participated in training. In addition, the following minimum specifications must be met to evidence an Eligible Individual’s engagement in Training Services activity: one point of Evidence of Participation per unit of competency must be provided if the period between the Activity Start Date and Activity End Date (inclusive) for the unit of competency is one month or less; or two points of Evidence of Participation per unit of competency must be provided if the period between the Activity Start Date and Activity End Date for the unit of competency is greater than one month, including one point within the first month and one point within the last month of training delivery and/or assessment as identified by the reported Activity End Date. Two different forms of Evidence of Participation must be used. An auditor would consider the time elapsed between the start and end date (or withdrawal) of the unit of competency and use discretion as to a reasonable demonstration of ongoing engagement by an individual in learning and/or assessment activity across the unit of competency, where one point of Evidence of Participation is one item of evidence as specified in Clause 11.5 of this Schedule 1. In instances where competency based completions are involved, and where the employer signoff has not yet been received by the Training Provider, an auditor will consider the last point of Evidence of Participation relating to training and/or assessment. The only Evidence of Participation that is acceptable under this VET Funding Contract is: evidence of work submitted relating to engagement by the Eligible Individual in the unit of competency: At a minimum, this evidence must contain the Eligible Individual’s signature, and comply with the requirements set out in Clause 11.2 of this Schedule 1. In cases where this information cannot be recorded on the work itself, separate evidence must accompany the work to allow it to be linked to the Eligible Individual, the unit of competency and date completed, for example, identification of an Eligible Individual by a client identifier and a delivery schedule or equivalent detailing how the piece of work covers the unit of competency in question, including due dates and milestones; Skills First Teacher notes based on communication between the Skills First Teacher and Eligible Individual, establishing the Eligible Individual’s involvement in the learning and/or assessment activity of the unit of competency. This includes personal interviews, telephone, e-mail, or other communication modes on the engagement of an Eligible Individual in learning and/or assessment activity of the unit of competency and may include reference to notes from another person working alongside the Skills First Teacher, for example an industry expert or workplace supervisor;
DETERMINATION OF HUB PARTICIPATION A firm must be an eligible HUB and perform a professional or technical function relating to the project. Proof of payment, such as copies of canceled checks, properly identifying the Department’s contract number or project number may be required to substantiate the payment, as deemed necessary by the Department. A HUB subprovider, with prior written approval from the Department, may subcontract 70% of a contract as long as the DocuSign Envelope ID: 1FDB1C48-24B1-4C40-8A33-17263E465FE2 HUB subprovider performs a commercially useful function. All subcontracts shall include the provisions required in the subcontract and shall be approved as to form, in writing, by the Department prior to work being performed under the subcontract. A HUB performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for a distinct element of the work of a contract; and actually manages, supervises, and controls the materials, equipment, employees, and all other business obligations attendant to the satisfactory completion of contracted work. If the subcontractor uses an employee leasing firm for the purpose of providing salary and benefit administration, the employees must in all other respects be supervised and perform on the job as if they were employees of the subcontractor.
DETERMINATION OF DBE PARTICIPATION A firm must be an eligible DBE and perform a professional or technical function relating to the project. Once a firm is determined to be an eligible DBE, the total amount paid to the DBE for work performed with his/her own forces is counted toward the DBE goal. When a DBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward DBE goals only if the subprovider is itself a DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward DBE goals. A DBE subprovider may subcontract no more than 70% of a federal aid contract. The DBE subprovider shall perform not less than 30% of the value of the contract work with assistance of employees employed and paid directly by the DBE; and equipment owned or rented directly by the DBE. DBE subproviders must perform a commercially useful function required in the contract in order for payments to be credited toward meeting the contract goal. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for executing the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself . When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function, the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption. A Provider may count toward its DBE goal a portion of the total value of the contract amount paid to a DBE joint venture equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract performed by the DBE. Proof of payment, such as copies of canceled checks, properly identifying the Department’s contract number or project number may be required to substantiate the payment, as deemed necessary by the Department.

The State also reserves the right to rescind any such participation or request that Contractor name additional Resellers, in the best interests of the State, at the State’s sole discretion, at any time. Contractor shall have the right to qualify Reseller(s) and their participation as fulfillment agents under this Contract by product line, contracting program (e.g., government/educational sales), geographic region, size/sales volume, technical training or other criteria (“qualifying criteria”), provided that: i) such qualifying criteria are uniformly applied to all potential Resellers based upon Contractor’s established, neutrally applied commercial/governmental program criteria, and not to a particular procurement; ii) all general categories of qualifying criteria must be disclosed by the Contractor to the State, in advance, at the beginning of the Contract term; iii) those qualifying criteria met by the Reseller must be identified on the form provided in Attachment 3 at the time that Reseller approval is requested under this paragraph; and iv) immediate advance notice is provided to OGS in the event that a change in Reseller’s status occurs during the Contract term.

Except as otherwise set forth in Attachment 3, Contractor warrants and represents that it shall not, directly or indirectly, by agreement, communication or any other means, restrict any Reseller’s participation or ability to quote a particular order.
