15 Total project budget $ -       This figure is your request for PCEF funds. It includes your expense categories total, overhead, and fiscal sponsor charges (if applicable).
17 Personnel table instructions:
1. Include only personnel (staff) that work for your organization and that you will be paying directly using grant funds. Do not include persons being paid by your contractor(s); those costs are included under contracted work in the Project Budget Table.

2. List one position per row, providing the title of each staff position, hourly rate (amount per hour that someone is paid), hourly fringe rate (the non-wage hourly costs such as health insurance, vacation, and taxes), and estimated hours for each position. Do not include overhead costs as those are included in the Project Budget Table. Column E is calculated for you based on the number of hours (Column D) times the total wage cost (B + C or hourly + fringe). Note the following: A) If multiple people occupy the position and earn the same wage and fringe, these positions can be combined; B) If you are uncertain about specific staff who will work on the project you can use an estimated or blended hourly rate for each position; C) Add additional rows if needed.

3. Be sure that everyone paid using PCEF funds meets the program requirement to pay at least 180 percent of minimum wage. In addition, if your project will have personnel costs that last beyond the current State fiscal year (7/1/2022) remember to calculate for any increases in staff pay including raises required as part of the requirement regarding 180% of minimum wage https://www.oregon.gov/boli/workers/Pages/minimum-wage-schedule.aspx.
