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 September 2, 2015 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Quintiles, Inc., Clinical Development and
Information Technology Departments, a subsidiary of Quintiles
Transnational Holdings Inc., Overland Park, Kansas (herein known as
"Quintiles, Inc.) are the subject of the investigation. The worker
group includes workers whose wages were reported under Phase
I, Quintiles Phase One Services and on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, Adecco, HireGenics, Inc., Insight Global, Inc.,
onAssignment, Planet Pharma LLC, Randstad, Technosoft
Corporation, The Ascent Services Group, The Select Group, LLC,
and Vaco LLC.
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
supply of biopharmaceutical development and commercial
outsourcing services. The subject worker group is, specifically,
engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology and clinical support services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and workers' firm.
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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with service supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Quintiles, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Quintiles, Inc.,
Clinical Development and Information Technology Departments, a
subsidiary of Quintiles Transnational Holdings Inc., including
workers whose wages were reported under Phase I, Quintiles
Phase One Services and on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Adecco, HireGenics, Inc., Insight Global, Inc., onAssignment,
Planet Pharma LLC, Randstad, Technosoft Corporation, The Ascent
Services Group, The Select Group, LLC, and Vaco LLC, Overland
Park, Kansas. The workers who are engaged in activities related
to the supply of biopharmaceutical development and commercial
outsourcing 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 Quintiles, Inc., Clinical Development and
Information Technology Departments, a subsidiary of
Quintiles Transnational Holdings Inc., including workers
whose wages were reported under Phase I, Quintiles Phase
One Services and on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Adecco, HireGenics, Inc., Insight Global, Inc.,
onAssignment, Planet Pharma LLC, Randstad, Technosoft
Corporation, The Ascent Services Group, The Select Group,
LLC, and Vaco LLC, Overland Park, Kansas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 1, 2014 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."
