General Salaries and Personnel Costs

Payment of personnel costs, generally salaries and benefits are allowable if costs are a part of an approved project budget  and are necessary for the project. Most personnel costs should be for direct victim services to victims of crime.  A limited amount of personnel costs can be allocated to administration and prevention work, depending on the funding sources awarded. Fundraising costs can never be charged to any federal source.  Overtime is allowed per organizational policies and procedures and as required by federal labor laws.  Bonuses cannot be charged to any Attorney General's Office grant nor can they be used as match.
