(a) The personnel budget category may include salaries
of employees only, and not compensation paid to independent contractors.
"Employee" is defined as a person under the direction and supervision
of the grantee, who is on the payroll of the grantee and for whom
the grantee is required to pay applicable income withholding taxes;
or a person who will be on the grantee's payroll and for whom the
grantee will pay applicable income withholding taxes once the grant
is awarded.
(b) A salary for a grant-funded position must be reasonable
and may not exceed the salary paid to a person performing comparable
work in a position that is not funded by the grant. The OAG will determine
whether a salary is reasonable and may limit the grant-funded portion
of any salary.
(c) The OAG may set minimum restrictions on the percentage
of salary that may be funded.
(d) A grantee may not use grant funds to pay overtime.
(e) Any changes to the job duties or employment status
of a grant-funded position must be reported to the OAG promptly.
(f) A grantee may not use grant funds to pay any portion
of the salary or any other compensation for an elected government
official.
