SBA RIN: 3245-AF44 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Definition of "Employee" for Purposes of the HUBZone Program 
Abstract: The purpose of this final rule is to amend the definition of "employee" under 13 CFR 126.103. The definition of "employee" in part 126 is relevant to SBA's determination of whether a concern is eligible for certification as a HUBZone small business concern. On May 13, 2004, SBA issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking requesting comments on, among other things, specific issues related to the definition of "employee," including the status of part-time, leased, and temporary employees, and the use of the term "full-time equivalent" in the definition of "employee." After careful consideration of the comments received, SBA has decided to amend the definition of "employee" to reflect current business operations, market conditions, and personnel practices within the small business community.
