Getting Started: How Do We Determine the Allowable Summer Salary?
Tomorrow Starts Here

9. DETERMINING THE ALLOWABLE SALARY
The Annual Salary is the amount to be paid. To check the annual Institutional Base Salary minus stipends, check the PEISALH Banner INB Screen or the ECUbic:
Annual Salary with FOAP Info by Banner ID or Name
This must be mathematically proportional/correct based on the individual’s effort (FTE) and their Institutional Base Salary.
The FTE is the amount of effort that relates to the amount of the
total salary requested. (This field automatically defaults as 0).
**FTE may only be up to 2 decimal places or whole percents.
Example: 0.45 not

11. DETERMINING THE ALLOWABLE SALARY:
133% FORM FOR GRANTS
