base salary question Conrad Hohenlohe 02 Jul 2004 08:59 EST

Hi.  A quick question for anybody on the list who has faced a similar
situation.  When a faculty member receives extra pay for taking on
administrative responsibilities (department chair, division head, acting
dean, etc.), is that extra pay considered part of the faculty member's
"base salary" or not for the purposes of calculating how much pay to charge
to a grant?

And then one additional wrinkle: is this determination changed any if the
faculty member's responsibilities in the grant are a direct result of the
new responsibilities for which he/she is receiving extra pay?

Thanks very much.
Conrad
