DS-2 Treatment of Fringe Matt Ronning 26 Apr 2001 07:12 EST

Colleagues,

I need some feedback on how you treat the estimating vs accumulating and
reporting elements of fringe benefits in your DS-2.   Specifically, do
you allow for an estimate using a fixed rate even though you know, with
precision, based upon the effort of the employee budgeted, how much the
fringe will be?   For example, if you know that the variable components
of Retirement, OASI and Workers Compensation will be, let's say 16% and
that health insurance is $3000 per year, do you use a fixed rate of,
let's say 26% to budget (which is what an average salary of 40K would
justify) or do you apply the 16% and add the pro-rata portion of the
health insurance based on the portion of salary requested for the subject
employee?

Do you have a web site that illustrates your practices?

Thanks,

Matt
