I am not a University but a Medical Center.  Here we do not charge the grant other then for routine vaction, all other expenses go against the FB pool.  I am redoing our policies but if I find it, I will certainly pass it on.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Benefits Accrual and Use on Sponsored Projects

I am concerned about benefit accrual policies that allow employees to take their accumulated leave with them to new positions within the university (including sponsored projects) which then become responsible for their cumulative benefits. Obviously this can be a significant cost to a sponsored project if a terminating employee has significant leave balances, and the grant may even be paying for benefits that might have been accrued in a state-funded position prior to the employee assuming his/her current position.

If your university has a leave accrual and use policy for sponsored projects that addresses the situation I've described above, I would very much appreciate a copy (and just in case there is broad interest in this topic, to avoid all the "me too's" that might follow this posting, will you post your responses to the list serve?).

Thanks very much,

Winnie
