A Nonprofit Corporation may seek a waiver from the requirements of Section 111.3(a)(1) if the highest paid managerial position in the organization earns a salary which, when calculated on an hourly basis, is not more than six (6) times the lowest wage paid by the organization to a Covered Employee. The Nonprofit Corporation shall provide to the Contracting Department a written statement, prepared and signed by the Nonprofit Corporation, setting forth an explanation of the economic hardship to the Nonprofit Corporation or the negative impact on services that would result from compliance with this Article. If the Contracting Department determines that the written explanation is adequate to justify the waiver and that substantial evidence supports the written explanation, it shall recommend the requested waiver to the Agency. The Agency shall grant the requested waiver. Each waiver shall be effective for a period of up to one (1) year, and subsequent waivers may be requested and granted.
