Doing Business with Government: The SME Guide helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) bid for government contracts. We use our procurement and contract management activities to promote sustainable behaviour. For more information, please visit our Energy Consumption page. From Far`s perspective, government contractors should have many guidelines and regulatory clauses to highlight to justify the eligibility of the costs they claim for the reimbursement of office equipment by their employees. In general, FAR 31.201-2, ”Determination of Eligibility” authorizes a cost factor if it is 1) reasonable, 2) transferable, 3) consistent with the Cost Accounting Standards Board (CASB) or generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and 4) under the terms of the agreement. So what would make these office equipment costs reasonable for employees? Well, far 31.201-3 (”Reasonableness Determination”) states: ”Costs are reasonable if they do not exceed by their nature and amount what a prudent person would incur in conducting competitive business.

Any material deviation from the Contractor`s established practices. All payment requests must be sent by email to finance-ap-enquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk or by phone on 0345 010 0125. The entrepreneur has two business units. It consolidates its home office expenses into several central cost centers, called ”homeopathic cost pools,” in Business Unit (BU) 1 and assigns them to BU 1 and BU 2 on many representative bases. For example, payroll is allocated according to the number of employees, contract services and claims according to the number of contracts, subcontracting services according to the number of subcontracts, new business according to the number of proposals, travel according to the number of travel expenses, closing taxes and the State on sales, etc. Several other cost centres such as tax accounting, MIS and external auditors are also assigned to BU 1 and BU 2 on the basis of a three-factor formula. In addition, the contractor aggregates costs to three other cost centres that are considered ”profitable expenses” and allocates these costs based on a three-factor formula. If a contractor can demonstrate that fewer groupings and fewer bases result in similar mappings, fewer groupings and bases can be used in practice. However, in the case of the entrepreneur, there may be business reasons to maintain its more than 22 cost centers (for example. B monitoring of functional costs), it is not necessary to maintain allocation bases. We`ve seen companies use 1-3 allocation bases for five to 75 cost centers, in addition to a cost pool remaining allocated on a three-factor basis.

For example, one of our CAS Professional Services clients comparable in size to the contractor who had previously used 10 bases to allocate 20 pools of cost centers that used only one employee base to allocate ten of its cost centers and a three-factor formula to allocate the other ten cost centers. It has been successfully demonstrated that (1) the new system results in a cost allocation similar to that of the old methodology and (2) that a number of employees are a logical alternative measure for the other bases. 3. the Contractor`s responsibilities to the government, other customers, the Company`s owners, employees and the general public; and Once the national covid-19 emergency has been officially declared over, Section 139 will no longer apply to COVID-19. At this point, employers and employees must meet the standard requirements for ordinary and necessary business expenses and the responsible expense plan so that payments and refunds of work-from-home expenses are tax-free. At the Ministry of the Interior, we encourage SMEs to apply for ministerial business and we monitor the level of business that SMEs receive from us directly (by winning contracts) or indirectly (by winning contracts with prime contractors or lower in supply chains). With regard to the recording of working time, in particular in the case of overtime worked at the home office, the employer should carefully monitor these records and, if necessary, review them immediately. Otherwise, there is a risk that the employee may claim unpaid overtime until three years ago, because in the case of the home office, the right to compensation for overtime cannot be excluded and Article 317 of the Labor Code (with exceptions for employees who do not work at the employer`s workplace, but perform the agreed work during the hours of work provided by themselves) generally does not apply, such as the classic hours of work in the home office are determined by the employer. In general, it is up to the employer to choose a fixed working schedule or a flexible working schedule from among the mandatory and optional working hours. If you have any further questions about the Ministry of the Interior`s approach to the SME agenda, you can contact us via our SME mailbox SMEEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk. Even during the coronavirus pandemic, the provisions of the Labor Code on delivery continue to apply, so it is still not possible to conclude a home office contract only by e-mail.

The employee`s consent to the home office, which is sent by simple email, is insufficient. If you have used this method during the pandemic, we recommend that you correct it and enter into valid agreements with employees who continue to work from home, even if only irregularly. The Bulgarian Court of Auditors also noted that, despite concerns about the operation of the centres, the Ministry of the Interior considered it necessary to extend G4S` contract for the operation of the facilities by two years in order to properly investigate the issues raised by Panorama. A procurement process in 2018 to find a new operator was cancelled, but a new exercise was launched last summer. Monitoring an employee working from home is usually a problem area. Again, it is necessary to comply with the relevant provisions of the Labour Code on the surveillance of employees by the employer, as well as other regulations on the protection of privacy and personal data. According to the Labour Code, the employer has the right to verify by appropriate means whether the employee is using the employer`s work equipment, including computers or telecommunications equipment, for his personal use without the employer`s consent. Monitoring of the employee in the workplace (including the home environment) is only possible if there is a compelling reason based on the particular nature of the employer`s activities.

Any follow-up shall be proportionate and the officer shall be informed of the scope of the monitoring and its implementation. Before setting up a monitoring mechanism, it is necessary to consider many aspects and always prefer monitoring mechanisms that affect the employee`s privacy as little as possible, e.B. block programs and applications or individual websites and social networks on the employee`s PC that are not necessary to perform the work without monitoring the employee`s specific online activities. etc. We consistently meet the government`s goal of paying 90% of bills within 5 days. In addition, we follow the government`s guidelines for immediate payments. We pay all invoices for compliant goods and services once they have been approved by the Ministry of the Interior officials responsible for the contract, and we also require prime contractors to pay their subcontractors within 30 days by including a contractual condition in the main contract. ”He also wants to establish a contractual role for the department to monitor the appropriateness of the use of force against prisoners and the care of staff and prisoners after an incident,” the NAO said. You`re probably one of the many employers who were abruptly forced to adopt a home office policy as a result of the sudden onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Before that, the home office was probably not allowed at all in your company or perhaps only in limited cases as a benefit to employees. Please note that Act No.

262/2006 Coll., the Labour Code (the ”Labour Code”) and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations fully apply to work performed at home. In our experience, employers often make mistakes when it comes to home office. The new 10-year contract with the Home Office provides that Leidos UK will convert, operate and converge the core and core elements of the IDENT1 and IABS systems and work with the Home Office and its partners to ensure the modernisation and disaggregation of these existing systems. .
