More than anything else, what most federal grants and subgrants pay for is people — human resources. So, the intersection between standard personnel administrative practices and federal grant requirements is a critical one.
At a minimum, HR professionals need a working knowledge of the current federal requirements for allowable expenses affecting employees and independent contractors. And, they may also need to consider who else on staff should be “trained up” on the rules to avoid potentially costly missteps.
Now is a good time to reinforce your understanding, as we’re in the midst of an unprecedented upheaval of the uniform grants policies that has been launched by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Arguments are already raging about what personnel costs can be included in future grant awards or in existing ones that are being terminated.
This webinar will cull through the grant rules and explain them from the unique perspective of human resource management. We’ll cover requirements for:
- Worker classification under revised IRS policies
- Salary and wage costs
- Time and effort reporting
- Pay escalation (cost of living adjustments, promotions)
- Severance
- Incentive pay and bonuses
- Pension plan costs
- Employee insurance
- Compensated absences (paid time off)
- Post-retirement health benefits
- Training and education
- Travel
- Dependent care costs
- Relocation expenses
- Services of independent contractors
