2. A non-refundable 20% fee (of the estimated total fee) is due 30-days after contract execution.
3. This remaining balance will be based on the final offered first-year base salary. The final 50% balance is due once the recruited candidate is offered and accepts the position.

• If a candidate leaves for any reason, other than set forth in the following bullet statement, FPG will provide one replacement candidate.
  If a candidate leaves an assignment due to changes made by Client that substantially affect the position for which the candidate was hired, including (without limitation); if the candidate’s duties and/or compensation are changed, the position is relocated, if there is change in health policy or the candidate’s supervisor leaves their employment, FPG shall have no obligation to provide a replacement candidate.
• The Client agrees to require the New Hire to attend the FPG Boot camp and each training session.

• For a period, equal to one year following the presentation of a candidate to Client by FPG any candidate presented by FPG to, and subsequently hired by, Client, shall be considered to be a qualified placement under this agreement.
