Subject: [RESADM-L] Salary raises on federal awards
Help! I know I've seen this somewhere but can't find it when I need it.
Where in the regulations does it say that grant funded positions must be
treated the same as regular positions. For example, if no one is
getting a
raise this year at the university level, grant funded employees can't
receive a raise either. Or, if everyone is getting an average 3% raise
this
year, grant funded positions can't get a 10% increase (even if there's
money
in the budget).
I did find this section in A-21 but thought it was stated more
explicitly
than this regarding raises:
d. Salary rates for faculty members.
(1) Salary rates for academic year. Charges for work performed on
sponsored agreements by faculty members during the academic year will be
based on the individual faculty member's regular compensation for the
continuous period which, under the policy of the institution concerned,
constitutes the basis of his salary. Charges for work performed on
sponsored
agreements during all or any portion of such period are allowable at the
base salary rate. In no event will charges to sponsored agreements,
irrespective of the basis of computation, exceed the proportionate share
of
the base salary for that period. This principle applies to all members
of
the faculty at an institution. Since intra-university consulting is
assumed
to be undertaken as a university obligation requiring no compensation in
addition to full-time base salary, the principle also applies to faculty
members who function as consultants or otherwise contribute to a
sponsored
agreement conducted by another faculty member of the same institution.
However, in unusual cases where consultation is across departmental
lines or
involves a separate or remote operation, and the work performed by the
consultant is in addition to his regular departmental load, any charges
for
such work representing extra compensation above the base salary are
allowable provided that such consulting arrangements are specifically
provided for in the agreement or approved in writing by the sponsoring
agency.
Thanks!
