What most federal grants and subgrants pay for more than anything else is people — human resources. So, the intersection between standard personnel administrative practices and federal grant requirements is a critical one for those managing the human resources policies in federally funded organizations.
At a minimum, you need a working knowledge of the federal requirements for allowable expenses affecting employees and independent contractors. And, as the likely “knowledge manager” for your organization, you need to figure out who else needs to be trained up on the federal grant rules so that colleagues can avoid potentially costly missteps.
Now is a good time to gain this understanding. That is because we are still in the early stages of implementation of a reformed and repackaged set of grants management policies crafted by the Office of Management and Budget. The rules apply uniformly to all governmental units, higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations that receive grants directly from the federal government and indirectly through other organizations.
This webinar will cull through these new rules and explain them from the unique perspective of human resource management. It will 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
