(A)Is it allowable
for a supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) employment and training
participant to displace a person from employment?
Participants in the SNAP employment and training program shall
not be assigned to program activities that result in the displacement of other
persons. Displacement occurs when a participant's assignment results in
removing or discharging employees or otherwise denying such employment to
persons who:
(1)Are already
employed as regular full-time or part-time employees.
(2)Are or have
been employed full time or part time as participants in a subsidized employment
program/on-the-job training or in other publicly subsidized employment and
training programs.
(3)Are or have
been involved in a dispute between a labor organization and the employer or
sponsor.
(4)Have been laid
off and are either:
(a)Receiving
unemployment compensation; or
(b)Subject to
recall under the established policies of the employer or sponsor.
(B)Is it allowable
for a work experience program (WEP) or work-based
learning (WBL) participant to fill a vacant position?
WEP participants shall not be used to
fill existing vacant positions. No employment and training participant shall
perform work that has the effect of reducing the work or promotional opportunities
of employees. They may, however, perform the same type of work as the employee.
Reducing the work of employees means reducing the number of hours, wages, or
employment benefits of regular or part-time employees, or reducing the number
of positions that the employer certifies would otherwise be filled by regular
employees.
(1)WEP and WBL participants are not to be
used to fill existing vacant positions. No employment and training participant
is to perform work that has the effect of reducing the work or promotional
opportunities of employees. They may, however, perform the same type of work as
the employee. Reducing the work of employees means reducing the number of
hours, wages or employment benefits of regular or part-time employees, or reducing
the number of positions that the employer certifies would otherwise be filled
by regular employees.
(2)WBL participants are to be provided the
same benefits and working conditions that are provided at the job site to
employees performing comparable work for comparable hours.
