If the consulting has already stopped and the person applies through
your regular competitive hiring practice, I don't see why you could not
hire him/her.  I am assuming you mean as a regular employee with
benefits and not as a short-term contractor?

Subject: [RESADM-L] Consultant THEN employee?

I know there are labor laws, etc. that play into whether someone can be
a
consultant then hired as an employee or vice versa.  Does anyone know if

there are grant rules prohibiting a single individual being paid as a
consultant
then hired as an employee, both paid out of grant funds?  Presumably,
this is
easier to defend than the other way around but still thought I should
check.
This is a DOE grant to a non-profit so the university regs of no faculty
as
consultants does not apply here.

Thanks for any insight you can provide!
