The Contractor shall give notice in writing to the Owner when corrections have been completed.
CLEARANCE PATTERNS 7.1 The State shall develop separate clearance patterns for each of the following: The State shall develop separate clearance patterns for the Statewide Payroll and each program and independent functions within specific programs listed in sections 4.2 and 4.3 (any interest exempted program) of this Agreement. 7.2 The following shall develop the State's clearance patterns: The Department of Administration shall develop the State's clearance patterns. 7.3 The sources of data the State shall use when developing its clearance patterns are as follows: The data utilized in the development of clearance patterns comes from SABHRS (Statewide Accounting, Budget, and Human Resource System). The System is administered by the SABHRS Financial Services Technology Bureau of the State Financial Services Division within the Department of Administration. 7.4 The State shall use the following methodology when developing its clearance patterns: When developing each clearance pattern, the State shall track at least 99% of the funds disbursed, from issuance to clearance, for a period of at least three months. 7.5 The State shall identify for each check or warrant (hereafter, check) in the population: (1) the date the check was released for payment; (2) the date the check was debited from the State's account, and, (3) the amount of the check. 7.6 The State shall use the following method to calculate the dollar-weighted average day of clearance: To determine the number of days each check was outstanding (clearance time), the issue date shall be subtracted from the date the check cleared the State's account. To determine the percentage of the disbursement paid out each day following issuance, the amount of the checks that clear the State's account each day shall be summed and then divided by the amount of the total disbursement. For each day following issuance, the clearance time of the checks paid out that day shall be multiplied by the percentage of the total disbursement those checks represent. This product is the clearance factor. The dollar-weighted average day of clearance for the disbursement shall be determined by summing the clearance factor of each day following the disbursement. 7.7 The State shall adjust each clearance pattern to reflect the dollar-weighted proportion of funds paid out by EFT/Direct payroll, with the following exceptions: No exceptions. The State shall also adjust each clearance pattern to reflect: No exceptions. 7.8 Each of the State's clearance patterns is calculated in Business days. 7.9 An authorized State official shall certify that each clearance pattern developed by the State accurately corresponds to the clearance activity of the programs to which it is applied. This certification shall be provided to the Fiscal Service prior to the effective date of the Agreement. The State shall recertify its clearance patterns at least every five years. 7.10 The State shall follow the procedures of 31 CFR 205 if it has actual or constructive knowledge, at any time, that a clearance pattern does not correspond to a program's clearance activity.
Emergency Work Employees who are required to report for emergency work on non- workdays, or outside of their regular hours of work on a scheduled workday or on holidays which they are entitled to have off, shall be paid overtime compensation for the actual work time and for travel time in connection therewith, but such travel time shall not exceed one-half (1/2) hour.
