General Approach. With the exception of “protects”, as set out above, lay-offs shall be in order of seniority within the disciplines. The Company recognizes its enhanced obligation to employees who have served for extended periods. Pursuant to this enhanced obligation, employees with at least twenty (20) years of service with the Company will be entitled to up to six (6) months training (formal and/or informal) to allow them to displace more junior employees whom they would not otherwise be qualified to displace. The training will be provided in the discipline determined by the Company, in consultation with the employee. If an employee chooses not to be trained, they will be subject to lay- off. The Joint Lay-off Committee will review all such cases. The Parties recognize that employees are deemed proficient in one discipline in accordance with the Discipline Inventory System. For clarity, it is understood that an employee selected for layoff from the Company shall not have the right to displace another employee outside of their recognized discipline.

General Approach. Ceridian’s general project approach to providing the Implementation Services is based on the concept of shared project responsibility, resulting in a cooperative, hands-on project that is jointly managed by Ceridian and Client.

During the project planning phase, the Parties will agree upon their respective roles and responsibilities, which will be confirmed in writing and need to be completed in accordance with the agreed upon schedule in order for the Implementation Services to be delivered successfully and within the
General Approach. Each litigation, claim, or other formal case is unique. So is each expert witness engagement. However, certain general steps are common among most of these projects. First and foremost, we work with the procuring entity (e.g., a state agency, department, or division) to determine the nature of the allegations, the work performed by others, the project timeline, and the potential difficulties anticipated during the engagement. Where possible, we work directly with counsel to preserve privilege to the extent possible and provide for xxxxx discussions between our experts and those charged with pursuing the State’s legal strategy. Our expert witness services are led by some of our most senior personnel – for example, the leader of our forensic accounting services group is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), is Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF), is Accredited in Business Valuations (ABV), and is a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE). We have an attorney who is a member of the Florida Bar on our team and assign personnel to each project based on the facts and circumstances of the allegations. Where our firm has relevant experience related to the underlying facts at issue in the dispute, for example when the dispute relates to a grant program with which we have experience, we assign personnel to the project who have that specific experience related to the underlying facts. By integrating our subject matter experts with our experts in forensic accounting, we ensure our expert witness testimony is as thorough and easy-to-understand as possible. We maintain detailed working papers, documenting chain of custody, each specific procedure performed, and every conclusion reached. Once our analysis of the underlying issues is complete, we compile our findings and prepare for either a written report or oral testimony, or both. Working in close consultation with the procuring entity and its counsel, we provide honest, unbiased, and substantiated conclusions to the trier of fact as we advocate for our opinions and attempt to provide clarity and guidance in complicated areas. Our analyses are based on reliable methodologies and are intended to meet the standards set forth in Xxxxxxx and other related court cases.
