SECTION 62.301. Personnel

(a) The personnel budget category may include salaries of employees only, and not compensation paid to independent contractors.

(b) Salaries for grant-funded positions must be reasonable and comply with the grantee's salary classification schedule. If a grantee does not have a classification schedule, the grantee must maintain documentation supporting that the salary is commensurate with that paid in the geographic area for positions with similar duties and qualifications. In any event, 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) Any changes to the job duties or employment status of a grant funded position must be reported to the OAG immediately.

(e) A grantee may not use grant funds to pay any portion of the salary or any other compensation for an elected government official.
