To All: I am happy to inform you that management has agreed with us that semiannual recertification of flexiplace agreements as a performance review tool is not necessary due to the fact the performance reviews are conducted four time a year per the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Therefore, the practice of semiannual recertification will be discontinued. If you have any questions, call me at 6104.
