Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on October 17, 2013, applicable to workers
of ATOS IT Solutions & Services, Inc., Billing and Collections
Department, Mason, Ohio. The workers are engaged in activities
related to the supply of accounting services for the subject
firm. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
November 6, 2013(78 FR 66782).
At the request of Ohio State, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information
from the company shows that some workers separated from
employment at the Mason, Ohio location of ATOS IT Solutions &
Services, Inc., Billing and Collections Department had their
wages reported through a separate unemployment insurance (UI)
tax account under the name Siemens IT Solutions and Services.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to include workers of the subject firm whose unemployment
insurance (UI) wages are reported through Siemens IT Solutions
and Services.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in accounting services to a foreign country. The amended
notice applicable to TA-W-82,999 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of ATOS IT Solutions & Services, Inc.,
Billing and Collections Department, including workers
whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages are reported
through Siemens IT Solutions and Services, Mason,
Ohio, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 16, 2012, through
October 17, 2015, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on 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.”

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;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers’
firm to a foreign country in the production of articles
or supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers’ firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers’ firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers’ firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers’
separation or threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 19, 2013 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of ATOS IT Solutions & Services, Inc., Billing and
Collections Department, Mason, Ohio (subject worker group). The
subject worker group is engaged in activities related to the
supply of accounting services for ATOS IT Solutions & Services,
Inc. (subject firm).
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in the subject worker group are
threatened to become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the subject firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with those supplied by the subject worker
group, which contributed importantly to workers’ separations.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ATOS IT Solutions &
Services, Inc., Billing and Collections Department, Mason, Ohio,
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of accounting
services, 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 ATOS IT Solutions & Services, Inc., Billing
and Collections Department, Mason, Ohio, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August 16,
2012 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.”
