Policy. Because the volume of human genomic and phenotypic data maintained in these repositories is substantial and, in some instances, potentially sensitive (e.g., data related to the presence or risk of developing particular diseases or conditions and information regarding family relationships or ancestry), data must be shared in a manner consistent with the research participants’ informed consent, and the confidentiality of the data and the privacy of participants must be protected. Access to human genomic data will be provided to research investigators who, along with their institutions, have certified their agreement with the expectations and terms of access detailed below. NIH expects that, through Data Access Request (DAR) process, approved users of controlled-access datasets recognize any restrictions on data use established by the Submitting Institutions through the Institutional Certification, and as stated on the dbGaP study page. Definitions of the underlined terminology in this document are found in section 13. The parties to this Agreement include: the Principal Investigator (PI) requesting access to the genomic study dataset (an “Approved User”), the PI’s home institution (the “Requester”) as represented by the Institutional Signing Official designated through the eRA Commons system, and the NIH. The effective date of this Agreement shall be the DAR Approval Date, as specified in the notification of approval of the Data Access Committee (DAC).
Policy. It is the policy of the Department to ensure that HUBs shall have an equal opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts; to create a level playing field on which HUBs can compete fairly for contracts and subcontracts; to ensure nondiscrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, or gender in the award and administration of contracts; to help remove barriers to the participation of HUBs in department contracts; and, to assist in the development of firms that can compete successfully in the market place outside the HUB program. Consequently, the HUB requirements of the Department’s HUB Program apply to this contract as follows:
(1) The Provider agrees to insure that they shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to meet the HUB goal for this contract.
a. The Provider and any subprovider(s) shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of contracts.
b. When submitting the contract for execution by the Department, the Provider must complete and furnish Exhibit H-1 which lists the commitments made to all subproviders, including certified HUB subprovider(s) that are to meet the contract goal, and Exhibit H-2 which is a commitment agreement(s) containing the original signatures of the Provider and HUB(s) that were indicated in the original submitted State of Texas HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) in Section 8. For Work Authorization Contracts, Exhibit H-1 is required at the time of submitting the contract for execution by the Department. Exhibit H-2 will be required to be completed and attach with each work authorization number that is submitted for execution, if the HUB will be performing work. If non-HUB subprovider is performing work, insert N/A (not applicable) on the line provided. A prime must allow a HUB maximum opportunity to perform the work by not creating unnecessary barriers or artificial requirements for the purpose of hindering a HUB’s performance under the contract. Any substitutions or changes to the HSP, in addition to any changes to the original contract award, shall be subject to prior written approval by the Department. If there are any changes to the subproviders during the contract term, the Provider must furnish a Revised Exhibit H-1 showing the revised commitment of all subproviders.
c. Failure to carry out the requirements set forth above shall constitute a breach of contract and may result in a letter of reprimand; in termination of the contract by the ...

Policy. Harassment is a form of discrimination that is prohibited by the Ontario Human Rights Code and is a contravention of the Code. Harassment, including sexual harassment, is offensive, degrading and threatening. The Employer and Unifor do not tolerate any form of harassment. This letter applies to circumstances in which one bargaining unit member alleges harassment by another bargaining unit member.
Policy. (a) A leave of absence may only be granted to a classified employee who can be expected to return to work provided that, in the opinion of the Commissioner of Human Resources upon advice of the appointing authority, the leave of absence is in the overall best interests of the employee and clearly not detrimental to the State of Vermont. This Article, unless specified, does not apply to employees in original probationary period.
(b) An administrative leave of absence may be granted:
(1) to permit the employee to accept an exempt appointment; or
(2) to enable the employee to perform the duties of a Commissioner for an interim period; or
(3) to enable the employee to stay with family for an extended period due to serious illness or injury to a member of the immediate family or other family emergency when the employee does not elect to have such absence charged to annual leave or has no annual leave; or
(4) to permit an employee to accept temporary assignment with another unit of government in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Intergovernmental Personnel Act, and Title 1, VSA 821, et seq.; or
(5) any other justifiable reason at the request of the employee and with the concurrence of the appointing authority and the Commissioner of Human Resources.
(c) An administrative leave of absence for personal medical reasons may be granted to an individual in original probation as outlined above, provided that such leave will automatically extend the original probationary period for at least the length of the leave, to ensure the working test period for full performance of the job has been met.
(d) An employee shall not be granted a leave of absence from a classified position to accept a temporary position or a contractual arrangement in Vermont State government. However, nothing shall prohibit the appointing authority from recommending, and the Human Resources Commissioner granting, a leave to accept a limited service classified position in a different or same department or agency.
(e) An employee granted a leave of absence without pay shall not receive annual and sick leave credits for the period of absence, nor shall such time be counted in determining the rate of annual and sick leave accrual and reduction in force rights.
(f) All leaves of absence must be approved in advance and must be for a definite period of time with an established date for return to duty, which, on request of the employee, may be extended or shortened at the sole discretion of the a...
Policy. It is the policy of the State to permit employees reasonable time off to care for dependent children in instances such as illness, birth, or adoption, and in cases of serious illness of a member of an employee’s immediate family or for their own serious illness. Leave for such purposes is provided by both federal and state statutes (“statutory leave”). Vermont’s Parental and Family Leave Act, 21 V.S.A. §470 et seq., and the Family Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq., establish the rights and obligations of employees and employers pertaining to such leaves. The following provisions integrate the basic requirements of the statutes and this collective bargaining agreement (“Agreement”), but do not create a waiver by the State or by the employees of other rights and/or obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any conflict created by the amendment of statute or otherwise, the rights and responsibilities of the State and employees will be determined by statute, except to the extent that such amendments would diminish the rights to which the employee is entitled under the terms of this Agreement. No provisions of this Article shall be determined to diminish the entitlement of any employee to unpaid leave under either of the above referenced statutes. Leave taken under this Agreement shall be credited against any such statutory entitlement to the full extent permitted by law.
