<br />e. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.415(a), any request for payment under this Agreement
<br />must include a certification, signed by an official who is authorized to legally bind the Sub -Recipient,
<br />which reads as follows: "By signing this report, I certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the
<br />report is true, complete, and accurate, and the expenditures, disbursements and cash receipts are for the
<br />purposes and objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of the Federal award. I am aware that any
<br />false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, or the omission of any material fact, may subject me to criminal,
<br />civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false claims or otherwise. (U.S. Code Title 18,
<br />Section 1001 and Title 31, Sections 3729-3730 and 3801-3812)."
<br />f. The Division will review any request for reimbursement by comparing the
<br />documentation provided by the Sub -Recipient in FloridaPA.org against a performance measure, outlined
<br />in Attachment B, Scope of Work, Deliverables, and Financial Consequences, that clearly delineates:
<br />i. The required minimum acceptable level of service to be performed; and,
<br />ii. The criteria for evaluating the successful completion of each deliverable.
<br />g. The performance measure required by section 215.971(1)(b), Florida Statutes,
<br />remains consistent with the requirement for a "performance goal', which is defined in 2 C.F.R. §200.76 as
<br />"a target level of performance expressed as a tangible, measurable objective, against which actual
<br />achievement can be compared." It also remains consistent with the requirement, contained in2 C.F.R.
<br />§200.301, that the Division and the Sub -Recipient "relate financial data to performance accomplishments
<br />of the Federal award."
<br />h. If authorized by the Federal Awarding Agency, then the Division will reimburse the
<br />Sub -Recipient for overtime expenses in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.430 ("Compensation—personal
<br />services") and 2 C.F.R. §200.431 ("Compensation—fringe benefits"). If authorized by the Federal
<br />Awarding Agency, and if the Sub -Recipient seeks reimbursement for overtime expenses for periods when
<br />no work is performed due to vacation, holiday, illness, failure of the employer to provide sufficient work, or
<br />other similar cause (see 29 U.S.C. §207(e)(2)), then the Division will treat the expense as a fringe benefit.
<br />2 C.F.R. §200.431(a) defines fringe benefits as "allowances and services provided by employers to their
<br />employees as compensation in addition to regular salaries and wages." Fringe benefits are allowable
<br />under this Agreement as long as the benefits are reasonable and are required by law, Sub -Recipient -
<br />employee agreement, or an established policy of the Sub -Recipient. 2 C.F.R. §200.431(b) provides that
<br />the cost of fringe benefits in the form of regular compensation paid to employees during periods of
<br />authorized absences from the job, such as for annual leave, family -related leave, sick leave, holidays,
<br />court leave, military leave, administrative leave, and other similar benefits, are allowable if all of the
<br />following criteria are met:
<br />They are provided under established written leave policies;
<br />The costs are equitably allocated to all related activities, including Federal
<br />awards; and,
