b. Personnel / Fringe Benefits
Fringe Benefits must be paid for all individuals receiving salary or wages from a grant. Fringe Benefits must be included for ANY compensation, except honorariums. The exact rates for Fringe Benefits change annually (sometimes semi-annually) so it is best to always check with the Office of Research Services for the current rates. Appendix 11 provides a breakdown of the current fringe benefit rates.
State and Federal Regulations require that Fringe Benefits be paid on all salaries charged to a grant. State Law requires that Fringe Benefits be paid from the same source as salaries. If you have questions regarding the correct rates or amounts of fringe benefits contact the Office of Research Services or the Human Resource Office.
