c. Incentives. The Contractor agrees to and shall place at-risk twenty percent (20.0%) of its annual operating net income, based on its performance under this Contract as to (i) fill rate, and (ii) monthly satisfaction survey results, as set forth below in this Section 3. Note accelerated incentive commencing in the second year of the Term and set forth in the two (2) incentive tables, below.

L Fill Rate. The Contractor accepts the fill rate incentive schedule set forth in the chart below. Monthly compensation incentive applies only if all outstanding invoices are current within forty-five ( 45) days of billing, as to all undisputed portions of the invoiced charges. Accrual of incentives based on fill rate and satisfaction surveys commences January 1, 2016. For periods of the Term through December 31, 2015 the Contractor shall seek to achieve a monthly fill rate for all substitute positions to fill under this Contract of not less than seventy-five percent (75.0%); for periods of the Term on and after January 1, 2016 through the end of the Term, the Contractor shall seek to achieve a monthly fill rate for all substitute positions to fill under this Contract of not less than ninety percent (90.0%).

Additionally, AESOP has added a new charge for all customers requiring system access where absences are reported but no substitute is required. The Contractor may bill the School District One Dollar ($1.00) per transaction, totaling about $9,964.50, based on estimating 2014-2015 results of 13,286 reported absences not requiring a substitute.

If the United States Department of Labor ceases to publish the CPI, then the School District shall designate by notice to the Contractor another published index generally recognized as authoritative, serving as nearly as reasonably practicable the same purposes as the CPI, which, the Parties agree, shall thereafter substitute as the CPI hereunder.

Where long term substitute needs arise, the School District shall retain responsibility for covering the absence. If a substitute position starts out as a day-to-day or other less-than-long-term assignment, and has to be extended such that it then may qualify as long term, then the Contractor shall not later than the eighty-ninth (891h) day of the absence provide a new Substitute Staff to cover the need.
