According to my finance departments policy, employees who work less
than 19hrs/week are not eligible for health, group/life insurance
however, the related grant is charged a fringe benefit cost load (even
though the employee is not eligible nor receiving the benefit).  My
department's explanation is that the charge is assessed university
wide based on hours worked.

As you might surmise, my PI is very upset.

Have any of you experienced this? Can you provide some perspective or
regulatory rationale?

Thanks,
