Fringe Benefit Rates
Proposal budgets including salaries/wages for UNC personnel must also include the related fringe benefits charged at the appropriate rate. The rule of thumb in budgeting for personnel costs says that fringe benefits follow salaries; meaning that if a funding agency is paying salaries, it should also pay the associated fringe benefits. In most cases, that is what happens; however occasionally a funding agency will not accept fringe benefits as an allowable cost. If you encounter that situation, it is important to contact Mona Castor who will work with you to determine if the university will pay the cost of fringe benefits for your project.
