A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK e. The Division shall review any request for reimbursement by comparing the documentation provided by the Sub -Recipient against a performance measure, outlined in Attachment B, that clearly delineates: The required minimum acceptable level of service to be performed; and, The criteria for evaluating the successful completion of each deliverable. f. The performance measure required by section 215.971(1)(b), Florida Statutes, remains consistent with the requirement for a "performance goal", which is defined in 2 C.F.R. § 200.1 as "a target level of performance expressed as a tangible, measurable objective, against which actual achievement can be compared." It also remains consistent with the requirement, contained in 2 C.F.R. § 200.329, that the Division and the Sub -Recipient "relate financial data to performance goals and objectives of the Federal award." g. If authorized by the federal awarding agency, then the Division shall reimburse the Sub -Recipient for overtime expenses in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.430 ("Compensation—personal services") and 2 C.F.R. § 200.431 ("Compensation—fringe benefits"). If the Sub -Recipient seeks reimbursement for overtime expenses for periods when no work is performed due to vacation, holiday, illness, failure of the employer to provide sufficient work, or other similar cause (see 29 U.S.C. § 207(e)(2)), then the Division shall treat the expense as a fringe benefit. 2 C.F.R. § 200.431(a) defines fringe benefits as "allowances and services provided by employers to their employees as compensation in addition to regular salaries and wages." Fringe benefits are allowable under this Agreement as long as the benefits are reasonable and are required by law, Sub -Recipient -employee agreement, or an established policy of the Sub -Recipient. 2 C.F.R. § 200.431(b) provides that the cost of fringe benefits in the form of regular compensation paid to employees during periods of authorized absences from the job, such as for annual leave, family -related leave, sick leave, holidays, court leave, military leave, administrative leave, and other similar benefits, are allowable if all of the following criteria are met: i. They are provided under established written leave policies; ii. The costs are equitably allocated to all related activities, including federal awards; and, iii. The accounting basis (cash or accrual) selected for costing each type of leave is consistently followed by the non-federal entity or specified grouping of employees. h. If authorized by the federal awarding agency, then the Division shall reimburse the Sub -Recipient for travel expenses in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.475. Reimbursement for travel shall be in accordance with section 112.061, Florida Statutes, which includes submission of the claim on the approved state travel voucher. If the Sub - Recipient seeks reimbursement for travel costs that exceed the amounts stated in section 112.061(6)(b), Florida Statutes ($6 for breakfast, $11 for lunch, and $19 for dinner), then the Sub -Recipient shall provide documentation that: The costs are reasonable and do not exceed charges normally allowed by the Sub -Recipient in its regular operations as a result of the Sub -Recipient's written travel policy; and, ii. Participation of the individual in the travel is necessary to the Federal award. i. The Division's grant manager, as required by section 215.971(2)(c), Florida Statutes, shall reconcile and verify all funds received against all funds expended during the grant agreement period and produce a final reconciliation report. The final report shall identify any funds paid in excess of the expenditures incurred by the Sub - Recipient. j. As defined by 2 C.F.R. § 200.1, the term "improper payment" means or includes: 5
