– The department should also contact budget on increasing the position of Fringe Benefits.
– Based on our current practice, the fringe rate on contractual employees is 10% and the fringe on full-time regular employees is 34%. Consequently, the department will need to transfer the equivalent of 24% of the salary at which the position is filled.

– If the position will be supported with other funds, the department will be responsible for budgeting the appropriate fringe.
– If the Office of the Budget determines that these guidelines have not been met, HR will be required to revise the position status to Temporary. Please direct questions on these guidelines to the Office of the Budget.
