As far as paying non faculty overtime, it does depend on whether they are salaried or hourly. According to A-21, J.10.a. there is nothing to indicate it isn't allowable to compensate for "incidental work". I'm a little foggy on the rest of it, but hopefully that gives you some answers or at least a place to look.

(2) When employees are performing indirect functions, such as administration, maintenance, or accounting.

(3) In the performance of tests, laboratory procedures, or other similar operations which are continuous in nature and cannot reasonably be interrupted or otherwise completed.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Question Overtime with Federal Funds

Hello. My question pertains to non-faculty compensation. Is overtime compensation an allowable cost with Federal grant funds?

Please point me to the source of reference.

Thanks, Cheryl
