NEW Q: How does a project administrator know that the position is eligible and compliant for that grant?
To determine eligibility of the position, the project administrator will need to refer to the grant’s approved budget (as submitted to the granting agency in the application process). The budget lists all the approved/eligible expenditures for the research project. Compliance on the other hand, is achieved by following all the requirements/guidelines of the granting agencies with regard to the documentation of an expense. For payroll charges, compliance would mean ensuring the hiring/appointment form is signed by the grant holder (or the authorized delegate) of the research project being charged for the salary/benefits expenses, prior to the appointment form being entered into the HR system. Subsequently, compliance would mean ensuring that there are time sheets – also signed/approved by the grant holder or the delegate – available to support the hours worked for each payroll period that the employee is getting paid from the research project.
