1. The amount of the employer stipend;

2. The skills and equipment operations the participant will learn;

3. The hourly wage, number of hours per week the participant is expected to work, and estimated net monthly wages.

4. The duration of the placement and the conditions under which it will end;

5. Conditions under which the employer must repay FEP reimbursements;

6. Provisions regarding termination of the FEP Agreement; and

7. Responsibility of the employer to report when a FEP participant works less than an average of 20 hours per week. If the agreement is not in effect for a full calendar month, the participant must have worked an average of at least 20 hours per week for the number of full weeks the FEP agreement was in effect during the month.

Example 1: A participant begins employment on July 13 and works a total of 58 hours between July 13 and July 31. Since the agreement is in effect for less than a full month, the ESW will need to determine the average number of hours worked per week to enter in the ESP module as well as the number of full weeks worked during the month. The calculation will be as follows:

31 (last day of the month in which the assignment began) – 13 (the day of the month when the assignment started) 18 + 1 = 19 days employed during the month

19 days ÷ 7 =2.71 weeks employed during the month

58 hours ÷ 2.71 weeks = 21.4 average hours per week; round down to 21

Example 2: A participant is employed for a full month. The employer reports that the participant worked for a total of 90 hours during the month. The average number of hours worked per week during the month was 21 (90 hours ÷ 4.33 = 20.78 average hours per week; round up to 21).

g. The employer must also agree to the following:

1. Provide on-the-job training to the degree necessary for participants to perform the duties of the job;

2. Provide sick leave, holiday, and vacation benefits to participants to the same extent provided to other employees performing the same work and having similar experience and tenure;

3. Maintain healthy, safe working conditions at or above levels generally acceptable in the industry and no less than those in which other employees
