Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude The parties agree that a material breach of this IA by Practitioner constitutes an independent basis for Practitioner’s exclusion from participation in the Federal health care programs. The length of the exclusion shall be in the OIG’s discretion, but not more than three years for each material breach. Upon a preliminary determination by OIG that Practitioner has materially breached this IA, OIG shall notify Practitioner of: (a) Practitioner’s material breach; and (b) OIG’s intent to exclude Practitioner. (This notification shall be referred to as the “Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude.”)
Purpose of Fee If an employee does not become a member of the Association during any membership year (i.e., from September 1 to the following August 31) which is covered in whole or in part by this Agreement, said employee will be required to pay a representation fee to the Association for that membership year. The purpose of this fee will be to offset the employee’s per capita cost of services rendered by the Association as majority representative.
