Use holding as an activity when hours do not need to be tracked:

· A participant has taken the child under 12 months exemption.

· A participant has taken the Minnesota Paid Leave exemption.

· A participant is in an employment services sanction.

· Any situation where there is not a trackable activity possible – for instance, child care is not available or is in the process of being authorized.

Keep someone in holding only as long that situation remains in effect.

Use local flag as an activity when hours do not need to be tracked:

· Special projects that your county or Tribal Nation is working on.

· Any activity between enrollment and the first meeting with the participant.
