NOTE: Child care, translation, or interpretation are considered "services" for budgeting purposes.
Salaries/Benefits: Library staff currently on payroll should not be paid additional funds if the responsibilities of child care, translation, or interpretation fall within regular working hours and/or are considered part of the employee’s job duties. If these responsibilities would put the employee over their current contracted work week, grant funds can be used to extend the employee’s hours (not to exceed 40 hours per week). Rate of pay to include fringe benefits. A personnel report is required at the end of the grant period.
Services: A non-library employee can be paid a stipend fee with grant funds to provide child care, translation, or interpretation. A library employee whose services in these categories would exceed their current contracted work week can be paid a stipend separate from their regular paycheck; work with your city clerk or accounting department.
