The Government will attempt to give the Contractor three (3) calendar days notice when these events occur so that schedules and manpower can be rearranged to accommodate the need.

Full-time workers. Part-time workers do not fall within the acceptable solution strategies to support the PWS requirements. Oversight organizations notice variations in how a lesson is taught and often judge the differences as one way is right and the other is wrong without considering the result of the training. Part-time workers would increase the risk of oversight organizations viewing the different teaching methods negatively and cause internal tensions at Task Force Marshall.
