Can clerical or secretarial overtime be billed?
No, unless such overtime is requested by the Legal Division or occasioned by an emergency situation created by the FDIC. In any case, the Oversight Attorney assigned to the matter must approve, in writing, clerical or secretarial overtime. The FDIC allows billing for extraordinary postage (e.g. bulk or certified mail). Can ordinary postage also be claimed? No. What common mistakes should be avoided when submitting an Invoice Package? Experts or LSS providers should: Make sure each invoice has a different invoice number for each Invoice Package submitted. Ensure the totals on the Invoice Package equal the totals on the EIF&E Form or the IF&E Form. Submit all necessary receipts. Make sure the billing from and billing through dates do not overlap. For example, if an Invoice Package covers the period from January 2 to January 16, a subsequent Invoice Package should not cover the period from January 10 to January 29. Be sure to itemize experts and non-experts (including LSS providers) fees
