The amount of Public Assistance grant funding relies heavily on documentation of the labor worked. The first part in calculating cost reimbursement for force account labor, is determining the actual hourly rates of labor. The documentation from which the Applicant calculates this needs to be provided to FEMA.

Applicants should submit documentation for each employee to support costs claimed including, but not limited to:

• Timesheets
• Days and hours worked by employees
• Employee information
• Name
• Job title and function
• Type of employee (e.g., full-time exempt, full-time non-exempt, part-time, temporary, prisoner)
• Days and hours worked
• Description of work performed with representative sample of daily logs / activity reports, if available
• Pay rate(s) and fringe benefit rate(s)
• Fringe benefit calculations
