ATTACHMENT V (15) Jobs. a. Jobs should be classified as either (i) jobs created or (ii) jobs retained; they will not be counted as both. A “job created” is a new position created and filled, or an existing unfilled position that is filled, because of the Project. A “job retained” means a job at a specific wage level that existed prior to beginning the Project that would have been lost but for the Project. Only jobs in Minnesota should be counted. b. Jobs should be expressed in “full-time equivalents” (FTE). In calculating an FTE, the number of hours worked during the Reporting Period should be divided by 2,080 (the number of hours representing a full work schedule in a Reporting Period). Jobs should be reported regardless of when the Project or an individual’s employment began or ended. Jobs are to be calculated based on hours worked in the current Reporting Period only, so that reporting is not cumulative. c. Jobs should not be separated into full-time, part-time, temporary, seasonal, etc. Instead, all hours should be totaled and converted into FTEs as indicated above. (c) Each contractor will report its workforce and the workforce of its subcontractors active during the Reporting Period. This includes employees actively engaged in the Project who work on the jobsite, in the Project office, in the home office or telecommute from home or other alternative office location. This includes, but is not limited to, any engineering personnel, inspectors, sampling and testing technicians, and lab technicians performing work directly in support of the Project. This does not include material suppliers such as steel, culverts, guardrail and tool suppliers. Only hours that relate to time spent on the Project should be reported. (d) The Public Entity must incorporate these reporting requirements into its contracts with its contractors (in part so that contractors can add the requirements to their contracts with subcontractors and impose deadlines on reporting by subcontractors). (e) To distinguish the jobs reported by contractors that were funded by the Grant, t he Public Entity must multiply the job numbers reported by each contractor in each category above by the percentage of total Project costs funded by the Grant (e.g., if the Grant was 40% of total Project costs, the Public Entity should multiply the jobs numbers given in each category by 40% to arrive at the number of jobs funded by the Grant) and it is those numbers that should be reported to Council.
