An employer may submit a written request for a temporary exemption from the application of the above requirements setting forth the reasons for the inability to comply with the requirement. Where the Board of Trustees finds that an employer cannot comply with the above requirements due to circumstances beyond its control, such temporary exemption may be granted. The Board of Trustees may establish guidelines for determining whether such request shall be granted. The Board of Trustees may assess a processing fee for noncompliance with the mandatory electronic funds transfer and/or computerized reporting if no exemption is granted. Such guidelines and processing fees will be established from time to time by the Board of Trustees and reflected in its minutes.
