| SUBJECT: | Fringe Benefit Rates for July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004 |
The following fringe benefit rates will become effective July 1, 2003
for the Doctoral Cluster Institutions (UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee) and
UW-Extension, and will be used when charging the employer�s contribution
to fringe benefits on all new and on-going extramural projects.
| Regular Faculty and Academic Staff | 33.00% |
| Regular Classified | 45.00% |
| Research Associates and Grad Interns | 21.00% |
| Research Assistants, Project Assistants, Teaching Assistants, Pre-Doc Fellows and/or Trainees | 20.00% |
| Post-Doc Fellows and/or Trainees | 9.00% |
| Limited Term Employes (LTE's) | 18.00% |
| Ad Hoc Program Specialists, Undergraduate Assistants and Undergraduate Interns | 6.00% |
| Student Hourly Employes | 2.50% |
Please note that the rate for Research, Project, and Teaching Assistants, and Pre-Doctoral Fellows and/or Trainees has changed dramatically. This rate change is necessary as a result of significant unanticipated increases in the cost of the separately bid health contract for this component.
For all other rates (except Research Associates and Grad Interns) we�ve experienced a modest change in the rate that was primarily due to increasing health insurance costs. The specific components for each rate are detailed in a schedule that has been published at: https://rsp.wisc.edu/chap4/rn/rn03-3t.html.
We appreciate your assistance in assuring that all projects with an anticipated beginning date of July 1, 2003 or later utilize the above rates.
