Just recently our school has created a policy derived from state
regulations that background checks must be performed on all new hires.
The institutional policy requires that grants pay for grant funded
personnel. Since we have over 500 of these folks on the campus with more
to be hired we are going to run into this issue time and again. I guess
that in these parts the outsource that will perform the checks will
charge $45 per check. Well obviously we can't charge the grant for this
and it is not a part of our indirect cost base.

We're trying to resolve this issue, and would like to know if any of
you  have run into this matter and if so how you resolved it.

Thanks for your advice,

Phil
