In the event City wishes to convert any of Contractor's Assigned Individuals, City agrees to pay a conversion fee in accordance with this Section. The conversion fee will equal a percentage of the Assigned Individual's aggregate annual compensation, including bonuses, based on length of assignment. City agrees to pay a conversion fee if Contractor's Assigned Individual is hired by an affiliate or other related business entity as a result of City's subsequent referral of the Assigned Individual or one of City's customers as a result of Assigned Individual providing services to that customer. The conversion fee is payable if City hires the Assigned Individual, regardless of the job classification, on either a full-time, temporary (including temporary assignments through another agency) or consulting basis within twelve months after the last day of the assignment. The same calculation will be used if City converts Contractor's Assigned Individual on a part-time basis using the full-time equivalent salary; however, the conversion fee will not be less than $1,000.
The conversion fee will equal a percentage of the Professional’s aggregate annual compensation, including bonuses, based on the length of assignment:
0-159 hours worked = 20% of person’s annual base salary 160+ hours worked = 17% of person’s annual base salary
320+ hours worked = 14% of person’s annual base salary
480+ hours worked = 11% of person’s annual base salary
640+ hours worked = 8% of person’s annual base salary
720+ hours worked = 5% of person’s annual base salary
880+ hours worked = $2000 flat fee
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Assigned Individual will present a time sheet or an electronic time record to City for verification and approval at the end of each week.
Contractor will bill City weekly for the total hours worked. If applicable, overtime will be billed at 1.50 times the normal billing rate. Federal law defines overtime as hours in excess of 40 hours per week, state laws vary. If state law requires double time pay, the double time hours will be billed at 2.00 times the normal billing rate. Contractor may charge City a fee for the provision of equipment or technology, if City requests that Assigned Individual use equipment or technology provided by Contractor.
Contractor may also increase Contractor’s rates to reflect increases in Contractor’s cost of doing business, including costs associated with higher wages for workers and/or related taxes, benefits or other costs. Contractor will provide written or verbal notice of technology charges and/or increases in rates. Any increase in rates will be prospective, starting as of the effective date Contractor specifies.
