Best Practices with 9-month Faculty

Edwin Bemmel Executive Director, Post-Award

• Annual regular compensation paid by the university for an employee’s appointment.

• Does not include bonuses, incentives, etc. • Policy being reviewed. • IBS, subject to any salary cap, will be used to

determine the individual’s rate of pay on proposals and charged to sponsored projects.

Institutional Base Salary (IBS)

• Charges for work performed during the summer

cannot exceed the rate of base pay. – eg: 9-month salary is $180,000; monthly rate is $20,000. – Two month summer salary equates to $40,000.

37

9-month Faculty and Summer Pay

• For 9/12 month faculty, the appointment is still a 9-month appointment.

• Salary is paid over twelve months as a mechanism to defer (spread) their 9-month salary evenly through the calendar year.

• IBS is based on when salary is earned (9 months) rather than the timing of the cash payout.

• System requires manual cost allocations!!

38

9/12-month Faculty

• During the 9 month academic year: – Charge salary expense to the related accounting

distribution based on IBS. – Payout employee based on 1/12 of 9-month salary. – Accrue the difference between the expense and payout

into a departmental account for accrual.

39

9/12-month Faculty

• During the summer months: – Continue payout to employee based on 1/12 of 9 month

salary. – Payouts must be made from the departmental accrual.

40

9/12-month Faculty

• 9/12 faculty should not have charges on their grants in the summer for their regular (nine month) appointment. – eg: 9/12 faculty has an appointment of $180,000 – 9/12 pay will be $15,000/month – IBS = $20,000/month

41

9/12-month Faculty

• If the PI has 10% effort on a grant during the academic year:

– Charge the grant $2,000 per

month during the academic year – Charge the grant $0 in the Summer

42

9/12-month Faculty

• Some sponsors impose a salary cap, limiting the IBS that can be charged to sponsored projects.

• The most typical is the NIH cap, but this is not the only cap (including state and Foundation awards)

• Any portion of the IBS in excess of the cap must be charged to an institutional account.

• For 9-month faculty: Salary caps must be converted to a 9-month rate to determine the actual cap.

43

Salary Cap

• eg: NIH cap is currently $185,100 or $138,825 (75%) for 9-month faculty.

• Use the PI’s monthly rate ($20,000 from earlier example) to compare with the $138,825/9 ($15,425) to determine the over-the-cap amount.
