(B) An employer may be excluded or terminated from FEP participation if:

(1) the Department determines that the FEP employer is acting in a manner which is not in the best interests of FEP or a FEP participant;

(2) if the employer has been found guilty of violating any laws or regulations governing employment or has current charges pending for violation of any laws or regulations governing employment; or

(3) if the employer refuses to sign the Application Agreement, complete any related paperwork provided in 106 CMR 708.100 or fails to comply with any part of the Application Agreement.

(C) Either the FEP employer or the FEP participant may terminate the assignment. If the assignment is terminated, the appropriate local office must be contacted. However, a pattern of ending FEP participants prior to completing of the FEP employment shall result in the FEP employer being excluded from participation in the program.
