Describe any negative action taken during the duration of this contract (i.e., termination, pursuit of suspension, etc.): 1st Resource was terminated on 03/18/2011 for inappropriate use of MnDOT’s computer equipment and violations of MnDOT’s internet use policies.
2nd Resource was granted an extended 2 week leave during which time he was granted authority to work remotely with a daily review and acceptance of his deliverables by the lead worker. He failed to meet these expectations and his authority to work remotely was terminated on June 14, 2011. He never returned from this leave and quit 22nd Century giving us no notice. Upon review of his work and phone records following his departure we found both time and phone misuse. Working with Consultant services we quantified the value of time and phone charges and recovered them by adjusting the voucher against the invoice for that billing period.
