It is important to note that the above percentages are estimates only, derived from the complete University of Georgia budget and the most recent amendment thereto. Staff benefits are charged to sponsored accounts at actual rates that will vary from these estimates. The proposed rates are designed to minimize the variances, which result from the rather wide range of salaries included under each of the pay groupings above.

individually as direct costs. The directly claimed fringe benefits are listed
below.
TREATMENT OF PAID ABSENCES:

and wages and are claimed on grants, contracts and other agreements as part
of the normal cost for salaries and wages. Separate claims are not made for

The rates contained in this Agreement
reflect the combined cost of the University of Georgia Research
