Annex VI

‘ANNEX XIV

Conditions for reimbursement of expenditure on the basis of standard scales of unit costs to all Member States specified.

1.

Definition of standard scales of unit costs

These unit costs cannot be used for types of operations for which other simplified cost options are established in another annex to this Delegated Regulation.
Other potential eligible costs of this type of operation, such as allowances, transport, accommodation or other type of support provided to students participating in these types of operations, are not covered by the unit cost.
Verified attendance means that proof of the attendance of the student in the formal education or training course is to be verified by national authorities on two or three occasions during the per academic year, in accordance with each Member State's normal practices and procedures for verifying attendance in formal education or training.
International Standard Classification of Education: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/International_Standard_Classification_of_Education_(ISCED)
The table in point 3.1 sets out rates for all Member States with the exception of Denmark for which data is not currently available. For courses lasting at least one full academic year, these amounts can be reimbursed to the Member State on the following basis: 50 % for the first proof of attendance during the academic year (normally at the beginning of the academic year, in accordance with national rules and practices), 30 % for the second proof of attendance and 20 % for the third and final proof of attendance. For those Member States whose national systems provide for this information to be collected only twice per year, or for courses lasting less than one full academic year, it will be 50 % for the first proof of attendance and 50 % for the second and final proof of attendance.
The training courses can be primarily either institutional or workplace-based, but must be delivered at least partly in an institutional setting.
A training course will be considered as ‘successfully completed’ when there is a document demonstrating completion in accordance with national rules or practices. For example, this could be a certificate issued by the training provider or an equivalent document which is acceptable under national rules or practices. The condition of successfully completing a training course shall not be regarded as being met where a participant successfully only completes some of the modules within a training course.
Employment-related counselling services can be provided in a one-on-one situation or as part of a group. They include all services and activities undertaken by the PES, together with services provided by other public agencies or any other bodies contracted under public finance, which facilitate the integration of unemployed and other jobseekers in the labour market or which assist employers in recruiting and selecting staff.

Type of operationsf1	Indicator name	Category of costs	Measurement unit for the indicators	Amounts(in EUR)
1. Formal education operations (from early childhood education to tertiary level including formal vocational education) in all ESF operational programmes.	Participants in an academic year of formal education.	All eligible costs directly related to providing core goods and services of educationf2.	Number of participants with verified attendancef3 in an academic year of formal education, differentiated by ISCEDf4 classification.	See point 3.1f5 The amounts are for full-time participation in an academic year. In case of part-time participation the amount shall be established on the basis of a pro rata reflecting the participation of the student. In case the course lasts less than one academic year, the amount shall be established on the basis of a pro rata reflecting the duration of the course. For vocational education and training (upper secondary level and non-tertiary post-secondary level), in case of courses with a reduced share of time spent in a formal education institute as compared to the courses reported for data collection during the reference year, the amount shall be proportionally reduced reflecting the time spent in the education institute.
2. Any operations concerning trainingf6 of registered unemployed, job-seekers or inactive people, except types of operations for which other simplified cost options have been established in another annex to this Delegated Regulation.	Participants who have successfully completed a training coursef7.	All eligible costs of the operation.	Number of participants who have successfully completed a training course.	See point 3.2.1 For those Member States listed in point 3.3: the amounts mentioned in point 3.2 shall be multiplied by the index for the relevant regional Operational Programme mentioned in point 3.3; where operational programmes cover more than one region, the amount to be reimbursed shall be in acordance with the region in which the operation or project is implemented. The method used to calculate these amounts requires that where these amounts are claimed for a type of operation under an Operational Programme, the same amount is claimed for all similar types of operations under the same Operational Programme.
3. Any operations concerning the provision of employment-related counselling servicesf8 to registered unemployed, job-seekers or inactive people, except types of operations for which other simplified cost options have been established in another annex to this Delegated Regulation.	1..

Number of years of counselling services provided	See points 3.2.2, 3.2.3 and 3.2.4 below For those Member States listed in point 3.3: the amounts mentioned in points 3.2 shall be multiplied by the index for the relevant regional Operational Programme mentioned in point 3.3; where operational programmes cover more than one region, the amount to be reimbursed shall be in acordance with the region in which the operation or project is implemented. The method used to calculate these amounts requires that where these amounts are claimed for a type of operation under an Operational Programme, the same amount is claimed for all similar types of operations under the same Operational Programme.
4. Any operations concerning the provision of training to employed persons, except types of operations for which other simplified cost options have been established in another annex to this Delegated Regulation.	1.. Hourly rate of training provided to employed persons 2.. Hourly rate of salary paid to an employee while on a training course.	All eligible costs of the operation. Where the salary of the employee while on a training course is not an eligible cost, only unit cost 1 shall be reimbursed. Where the salary of the employee while on training is considered as an eligible cost, the combined amount from unit costs 1 and 2 may be reimbursed.	1.. Number of completed hoursf10 of training to employed persons per participant. 2.. Number of hours of salary paid to employees while on a training coursef11.	See points 3.2.5 and 3.2.6 below For those Member States listed in point 3.3: the amounts mentioned in point 3.2 shall be multiplied by the index for the relevant regional Operational Programme mentioned in point 3.3; where operational programmes cover more than one region, the amount to be reimbursed shall be in acordance with the region in which the operation or project is implemented. The method used to calculate these amounts requires that where these amounts are claimed for a type of operation under an Operational Programme, the same amount is claimed for all similar types of operations under the same Operational Programme.
