How can work for a government agency be arranged for NJIT an employee?
The Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) is a federal law to facilitate assignments of university or government personnel to work temporarily in other government entities. To participate, you would have to be an NJIT employee for at least 90 days. You will remain an employee of NJIT while serving at the government job. NJIT would pay your salary and fringe benefits, and invoice the government for reimbursement of those expenses. IPA expenses are accounted for as a grant, through Grant and Contract Services. The IPA agreement is negotiated between Office of Sponsored Programs and the government agency. It is assumed that you have obtained approval from your Department Head and Dean before approaching OSP with an IPA proposal. It is NJIT policy that fringe benefits on IPA agreements are charged to the government agency at NJIT’s applicable aggregate fringe benefit rate. Contact Budget Department for the NJIT fringe benefit rate applicable to the assignment.
