1 TIME AND EFFORT DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS AND CHANGES IN LIGHT OF THE OMB SUPERCIRCULAR TIFFANY R. WINTERS, BRUSTEIN & MANASEVIT, PLLC NASTID EDGAR AND THE OMB CIRCULARS OMB cost principles (and the time and effort rules) are current in different circulars A-21 Educational Institutions A-87 State, Local & Indian Tribal Governments A-122 Non-Profit Organizations 48 CFR pt. 31 For-Profit Organizations Incorporated into the Super Circular or Omni Circular 2 TIME AND EFFORT DOCUMENTATION
2 OMB CIRCULAR A-87 TIME AND EFFORT RULE If federal funds are used for salaries, then time distribution records are required. How staff demonstrate allocability If employee paid with federal funds, then must show that the employee worked on that specific federal program cost objective. 4 WHO MUST PARTICIPATE? All employees paid with federal funds!! Some employees paid with non-federal funds When salaries are used for match purposes NOT contractors 5 TIME DISTRIBUTION RECORDS STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTATION OF PERSONNEL EXPENSES Must be maintained for all employees whose salaries are: Paid in whole or in part with federal funds (i)(1) Used to meet a match/cost share requirement (i)(4) 6 2
3 DOES MY EMPLOYEE HAVE TO KEEP TIME AND EFFORT RECORDS? Is she an employee? Yes No I don t know Is she paid with federal funds? No T&E Required Ask HR Yes No T&E Required Is her salary used for match? No Yes No T&E Required T&E Required 7 REQUIRED TIME DISTRIBUTION DOCUMENTATION Current Rule: Type of documentation depends on how many cost objectives the employee worked on These cost objectives must be connected to the employee s salary source 8 COST OBJECTIVES What is a cost objective? (slightly changed) Program, function, activity, award, organizational subdivision, contract, or work unit for which cost data are desired and for which provision is made to accumulate the measure the cost of processes, products, jobs, capital projects, etc. 9 3
4 COST OBJECTIVES (CONT) Multiple Cost Objectives (vii): More than one Federal award. A Federal award and a non-federal award. An indirect cost activity and a direct cost activity. Two or more indirect activities that are allocated using different allocation bases. An unallowable activity and a direct or indirect cost activity. 10 OCFO Clarifications Re: single cost objective OCFO: The criteria for whether an employee may document time and effort using a semiannual certification or must fill out a monthly PAR can be confusing. 11 OCFO GUIDANCE (CONT.) It is possible to work on a single cost objective even if an employee works on more than one Federal award or on a Federal award and a non-federal award. The key to determining whether it is a single cost objective is whether the employee s salary and wages can be supported in full from each of the Federal awards on which the employee is working or from the Federal award alone if the employee s salary is also paid with non-federal funds. 12 4
5 OCFO GUIDANCE EXAMPLES OF SINGLE COST OBJECTIVES: Title I, Part A funds and State compensatory education funds An LEA supports a supplemental math teacher to serve low-achieving students with 50 percent Title I, Part A funds and 50 percent State compensatory education funds. Since her support is fully chargeable to Title I, Part A she is working on a single cost objective. 13 OCFO GUIDANCE EXAMPLES OF SINGLE COST OBJECTIVES: Title I, Part A funds and CEIS (comprehensive early intervening services) funds under IDEA A teacher works with low-achieving students and is supported with 60 percent Title I, Part A funds and 40 percent CEIS funds. Teaching low-achieving students is a single cost objective because it can be fully supported under both Title I, Part A and CEIS. 14 OCFO GUIDANCE EXAMPLES OF SINGLE COST OBJECTIVES: Title I, Part A funds and local funds An LEA supports an elementary school teacher with local funds but pays her with Title I, Part A funds to provide afterschool tutoring for low-achieving students. The portion of her time spent on after-school tutoring is easily separated from her teaching position by her schedule. 15 5
6 TIME AND EFFORT (CURRENT A-87 RULE) Semi-Annual Certifications If an employee works on a single cost objective: Semi-Annual Certification After the Fact Account for the total activity Signed by employee or supervisor Every six months (at least twice a year) Personnel Activity Report (PAR) If an employee works on multiple cost objectives: PAR or equivalent documentation After the fact Account for total activity Signed by employee Prepared at least monthly and coincide with one or more pay periods
7 SUBSTITUTE SYSTEMS 19 SUBSTITUTE SYSTEMS GENERALLY Substitute systems may be used in place of these reports if approved by the cognizant agency. These systems are subject to approval if required by the cognizant or oversight agency. May include random moment sampling, rolling time studies, case counts, or other quantifiable measures of employee effort. 20 TIME AND EFFORT ADVANCED TOPICS 21 7
8 FEDERAL STIPENDS If a State-funded employee is paid a stipend with federal funds for attending professional development, does time and effort documentation have to be kept? A. Yes B. No 22 FEDERAL STIPENDS Federal funds can generally be used to pay for stipends for professional development or other extra-curricular activities. Time and Effort documentation must be kept. Maryland January 2013 ARRA Audit - Documentation not kept for employees partially funded with federal funds. 23 DE MINIMUS BENEFIT If a teacher works on a single cost objective but also has limited other responsibilities, such as cafeteria or bus duties. This teacher must keep: A. Monthly PARs B. Semi-annual certifications 24 8
9 DE MINIMUS BENEFIT Limited work on another cost objective does not need to be captured in time and effort records. Employees may work 5% or less on another cost objective. The work performed on these limited duties cannot deprive a benefit from the intended beneficiaries. The Montana Compact on Time Distribution, at p. 8, Q SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS Are substitute teachers paid with federal funds required to track their time? A. Yes B. No 26 PART-TIME EMPLOYEES Are part-time employees required to track their time? A. Yes B. No 27 9
10 BLANKET CERTIFICATION Multiple employees working on the same single cost objective can be identified on a single semi-annual certification. A. True B. False 28 BLANKET CERTIFICATION Approved by USDE. Provides flexibility. Identifies multiple employees working on the same single cost objective. Must be prepared at least semi-annually. Signed and dated by supervisor with firsthand knowledge of the employees work. The Montana Compact on Time Distribution, at p BLANKET CERTIFICATION EXAMPLE This is to certify that the following individuals have worked 100% of their time on the 21 st CCLC Programmatic cost objective for the months of March 1, 2013 to August 31, Position Teacher Teacher Guidance Counselor Tutor Name Lisa Muller Tim Allery Mary Smith Bob Ross Signed: /s/ September 10,
11 CONTRACTORS V. EMPLOYEES The district has a Title I, Part A funded contract with a vendor for afterschool tutoring of Title I students. Do the contractor s employees need to keep time and effort records? A. Yes B. No 31 CHARACTERISTICS OF A CONTRACTOR Provides goods or services within normal business operations. Provides similar goods or services to others. Operates in a competitive environment. Provides goods or services that support the Federal program. Subject to terms of a contract but not compliance requirements of program. OMB Circular A-133(B).210(c) 32 TIME AND EFFORT FLEXIBILITY An employee teaches a special education classroom during school hours and provides additional instruction at the school s after-school program. The regular school position is paid for with IDEA funds while Title I, Part A funds pay for the afterschool position. The employee must keep a PAR. A. True B. False 33 11

Auditors (A Federal OIG) and Monitors (Federal and State Pass Through) must look more to outcomes than to process The Omni Circular adds significant flexibility to way grantees / subgrantees can adopt their own processes 48 16
17 MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGES (CONT.) The Omni Circular has a MAJOR emphasis on strengthening accountability by improving policies that protect against waste, fraud and abuse 49 NEW: REQUIRED CERTIFICATIONS NEW: Official authorized to legally bind the non-federal entity must certify on annual and final fiscal reports or vouchers requesting payment: By signing this report, I certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the report is true, complete and accurate and the expenditures, disbursements and cash receipts are for the purposes and objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of the federal award. I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent information or the omission of any material fact, may subject me to criminal civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false claims, or otherwise. 50 NEW: MANDATORY DISCLOSURES Non federal entity must disclose in writing in timely manner to federal agency or passthrough all violations of federal criminal law involving fraud, bribery or gratuity violations potentially affecting federal award 51 17
18 NEW: STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTATION OF PERSONNEL EXPENSES Charges for salaries must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed 1. Must be supported by a system of internal controls which provides reasonable assurance charged are accurate, allowable and properly allocated 2. Be incorporated into official records 3. Reasonably reflect total activity for which employee is compensated Not to exceed 100% 52 NEW: STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTATION OF PERSONNEL EXPENSES (CONT) 4. Encompass all activities (federal and non-federal) 5. Comply with established accounting polices and practices 6. Support distribution among specific activities or cost objectives 53 NEW: STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTATION OF PERSONNEL EXPENSES (CONT) Budget estimates alone do not qualify as support for charges to Federal awards (i)(1)(viii) Percentages may be used for distribution of total activities (i)(1)(ix) 54 18
19 NEW: STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTATION OF PERSONNEL EXPENSES (CONT) Grantees encouraged to adopt substitute systems if approved by cognizant agency for indirect cost (i)(5) Acceptable now to allocate sampled employee s supervisors, clerical and support staffs, based on results of sampled employees 55 NEW: STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTATION OF PERSONNEL EXPENSES (CONT) If records meet the standards: the non-federal entity will NOT be required to provide additional support or documentation for the work performed (i)(2) BUT, if records of grantee do not meet new standards, ED may require PARs (i)(8) PARs are not defined!! 56 SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?? 57 19
