SUBJECT: | Fringe Benefit Rates for July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005 |
The following fringe benefit rates will become effective July 1,
2004
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 | 33.50% |
Regular Classified | 45.00% |
Research Associates and Grad Interns | 21.50% |
Research Assistants, Project Assistants, Teaching Assistants, Pre-Doc Fellows and/or Trainees | 25.00% |

Student Hourly Employees | 2.50% |
Please note that the rate for Research, Project, and Teaching Assistants, and Pre-Doctoral Fellows and/or Trainees continues to change dramatically. This continued rate increase is necessary due to a significant deficit in the recovery of health insurance costs for these individuals.
Other rates experienced a modest change 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/rn04-1t.html.We appreciate your assistance in assuring that all projects with an anticipated beginning date of July 1, 2004 or later utilize the above rates.
