The policy on this page is from a previous version of the handbook.
FSET participants must carry out the following responsibilities:
The participant must be capable of performing the assigned FSET activities as agreed upon in the employment plan. If the participant is unable to perform an assigned activity or his or her employment status changes, the participant should contact the FSET case worker to re-evaluate and update the employment plan.
Note: Assigned FSET activities must adhere to federal non-discrimination requirements as well as federal, state, and local health and safety standards.
The participant must attend and participate in scheduled, assigned appointments. If the participant is unable to keep an appointment or anticipates being late for an appointment, he or she must notify the FSET case manager before the appointment. If the participant is unable to make contact before the appointment, he or she must do so as soon as possible.
The participant or FSET activity service provider should turn in attendance information for assigned activities. The participant should work with the FSET case manager to determine the type of documentation that is required for each assigned activity.
The participant must notify the FSET case manager immediately of any issues that prevent participation in assigned activities or that prevent participation in the FSET program overall. The FSET case manager may request verification of missed participation in order to determine good cause for non-participation.
The participant should inform the FSET case manager if he or she is no longer interested in participating in the FSET program.
FSET participants who are subject to the work registration requirements should accept an offer of suitable employment if the position is within the scope of their employment goal as defined by his or her employment plan. An offer is considered suitable employment if all of the following apply:
Pay is equivalent to minimum wage or higher.
The employee is not required to join, quit, or refrain from joining a union or trade organization.
The job is not obtained due to strike or lockout.
The job does not pose health risks.
The job matches a person's physical and mental ability to perform the job.
If employment is offered on a piece-rate basis, the expected average hourly pay (piece-rate multiplied by the average hourly output) is at least minimum wage.
The daily round-trip commuting time is less than 2 hours, excluding time transporting a child to or from child care.
The distance to the job allows for walking, or public or private transportation is available.
The hours of work or nature of work does not interfere with the person’s religious observations, convictions, or beliefs.
