Program Requirements
In order to ensure compliance with Federal and EPA policies governing discrimination, each grantee is to establish certain minimum program requirements to supplement those prescribed by governing regulations. These include:

• Enrollment. In recruiting candidates for the SEE Program, grantees must take steps to assure the widest and most practicable distribution of position information in order to assure that potential senior citizen candidates are made aware of the position availability.
• Selections. Grantees are required to keep a record of selections for each position. The record should consist of the names and identifying data for each of those persons referred for the position, and reasons for selection or nonselection. This record must be retained for at least three years after the submission of the final financial status report. (40 CFR 30.53)
• Pay. Grantees determine what the SEE enrollee will be paid. However, this pay is reimbursable to the grantee only to the extent allowed by the EPA for each assignment category and schedule of assignment reimbursable limits.
• Overtime/Compensatory Time. Enrollees must have prior approval from their EPA Monitor to work more than 40 hours in any given week. All hours over 40 must be paid overtime. Compensatory time is not permitted.
• Training. Grantees are required to cooperate in arranging training for enrollees as specified by the SEE monitors. Training that would incur cost must be approved by the SEE monitor or Director and will be charged to the cooperative agreement.
• Travel. Grantees are required to cooperate in arranging travel for enrollees as specified by the SEE monitor. Travel funding will be charged to the cooperative agreement.
• Enrollee Relations and Services. Grantees, through their representatives, are required to provide advice and assistance to SEE enrollees and monitors in connection with performance, conduct, time, leave, and other related matters.
