The percent of pay that will be reported on the PAR is 75% for sponsored projects (11,250 divided by 15,000).
The percent of pay that will be reported on the PAR is 25% for all other (3,750 divided by 15,000).
If the employee worked on the federal fund 75% of the time and on the non-federal fund 25% of the time, the department should certify the percent of effort as 75% and 25%, respectively.
