Grant Submission Process
Budget Preparation > Overload Appointments
As stated earlier, at no time shall payment from a federal grant exceed 100% of your base salary, unless approval is received in writing from a sponsor. That being said, the state funds that have been set aside for compensation from your university appointment that are then released back to the college as a result of incoming grants funds, can be used to compensate you for greater than 100% effort. This “overload” contract is for the duties assumed (e.g. teaching) that you were already released from with the acceptance of your grant
 |
TIP: Overload contracts paid using grant funds are unallowable. Overload contracts can only be paid using university operating accounts. Application of the overload rule differs by department/college. Consult you chairperson/school director for more information. |
If you are on a nine-month appointment, the three months in the summer are not considered overload. Any effort above 100% during your full time appointment is considered overload. While there is no defined standard about what full time is, the generally accepted principle is that 40 hours per week is full time. It is highly important to remember that the acceptance of this “overload” cannot diminish your attention to and effort on your proposed project . The use of “overload” contracts is discussed in more detail in the Ohio University Faculty Handbook: http://www.ohio.edu/facultysenate/handbook/index.cfm

DON'T FORGET: It is highly important to remember that the acceptance of an "overload" cannot diminish your attention to and effort on your proposed project! |
