Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 31, 2012 on behalf of workers of Par Logistics
Management Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of PAR
Technology Corporation, New Hartford, New York (PLMS). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of logistics management systems datagates. The subject worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Adecco and Staff
Works.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the petitioners and the firm's
potential customers that were lost on a bid of a major project.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of logistics management systems datagates by PLMS
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because the
Department conducted a survey of lost domestic bids by the
subject firm. The survey revealed that the subject firm lost a
major bid to foreign outsourcing and that articles like or
directly competitive with logistics management systems datagates
are being manufactured offshore and imported into the United
States.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
imports of logistics management systems datagates contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and sales and
production declines at PLMS.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Par Logistics
Management Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of PAR
Technology Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Adecco and Staff Works, New Hartford, New York, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of logistics management
systems datagates meet the worker group certification criteria
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make
the following certification:



"All workers of Par Logistics Management Systems
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of PAR Technology
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Adecco
and Staff Works, New Hartford, New York, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after January
25, 2011 through two years from the date of certification,
and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 2nd day of March, 2012.
