Program Changes effective October 2021 GUIDELINES (continued)
The Incentive Payment calculation is based on the salary recovery of the PI and the associated fringe.
Salary recovery is defined as the amount of salary expense that is transferred to a grant by a Planned Effort form and/or a journal entry.
The Incentive Payment calculation is as follows:
If student related expenses are posted in the grant cost center to any of the following account codes:
3511 – Regular Student
3192 – Graduate Assistants
4101 - Stdt Fees&Scholarships
Then the PI qualifies for an incentive payment equal to 85% of the salary recovery.
If no student support expenses are recognized, then the PI receives an incentive payment equal to 60% of the salary recovery.
NOTE: The TOTAL Incentive Payment can not exceed 44% of the TOTAL salary amount.<br>

Program Changes effective October 2021 GUIDELINES (continued)
The incentive payout to the PI can be :
Paid directly to the PI via incentive pay (paycheck)
Transferred to their WRAP account
Selected combination of the two.
NOTE: Direct payment to the PI will occur in one lump sum and not split across multiple pay periods.
The remaining percentage of salary recovery and 100% of the associated fringe on the total salary recovery is to be directed by the college.<br>

Administrator’s salary is $100,000.

College discretion on: salary recovery difference of $5,250 ($35,000 - $29,750)
