Wis. Admin. Code Department of Workforce Development § DWD 60.07 - Selection of suitable locations
(1) DETERMINATION.
(a) The department may establish a business
at a particular location only if establishment of the enterprise at that
location is likely to contribute to the development of significant economic
opportunities for the blind and is likely to provide for the most productive
use of program assets.
(b) The
determination under par. (a) shall be made on the basis of an evaluation of
relevant factors disclosed and recorded as the result of a survey of the
location. Factors to be evaluated shall include population, traffic,
competition, continued availability of the location, type of premises and
potential return on investment.
(2) EFFECT OF LOSS OF SALES.
(a)
Closing or converting the
business. If the business enterprise established under sub. (1) is
adversely affected by factors beyond the control of the department or of the
operator so that there is at least a 35% decline in sales at that location from
one 3-month period to the next or a reduction to zero sales in a shorter period
of time, the department may close that business enterprise or convert it to a
vending machine operation and may establish a new business enterprise under
sub. (1) at a different location. The amount of loss shall be reviewed and
verified by the department.
(b)
Transfer following loss of sales.
1. The operator affected by par. (a) may
request transfer to another location, and, subject to par. (c), shall be given
preference in the selection process under s.
DWD 60.08
when the next 2 program vacancies occur, regardless of income or location of
the program vacancies within the state, except that preferential transfer
rights shall not apply to seasonal operators.
2. If the operator affected by par. (a)
elects not to transfer to one of the next 2 available openings, his or her
priority for transfer shall be exhausted and further transfer shall be in
accordance with s.
DWD 60.08.
(c)
Transfer
dependent on satisfactory performance and ability to handle new tasks.
An operator may transfer under this subsection only if his or her past
performance is judged satisfactory by the department with the active
participation of the committee and with consideration of the views of building
management in the affected location, and if the department finds that the
operator is able to perform the anticipated new tasks. The new tasks may result
from a change in management responsibilities, increased scope of the business,
change in number and type of employes or change in overall job duties. If an
otherwise competent operator lacks the skills needed in the new enterprise, the
department shall help the operator acquire those skills through an appropriate
retraining program.
(d)
Probationary period following transfer. An operator who
transfers to a new location under this subsection shall serve a probationary
period as described in s.
DWD
60.08(6).
