Grant Control Flags

Grant Control Flags (aka Grant Flags) are data elements in the Online Financial Information System (OFIS) used for administrative purposes within Grant and Contract Accounting (GCA) and other central offices. They identify a number of administrative issues including whether certain authorities or approvals have been granted.

Grant Control Flag 08 - Identifies salary cap level applied to qualifying budgets. There are four possible values:
 

 

  • 1 = Executive Level I salary cap ($199,700)
  • 2 = Executive Level II salary cap ($192,300)
  • 7 = Other Salary Cap (agency specific not tied to Executive Level salary cap)
  • 9 = No Salary Cap Applies (CDC and HRSA not previously subject to a salary cap but now subject to Executive Level II)
