(Recorded Webinar) Time and Effort Reporting for Head Start

Enrollment for this course has been closed. If you are interested in this topic, please see our Head Start page here.


Head Start funds, like all other federal grant funds, come with strings.  One of the highest risk areas deals with how programs track and charge for employee time.  This means developing, implementing, and maintaining a personnel activity reporting system that is compliant and management can be tricky.  Achieving this goal can be challenging for all Head Start grantees, but it can be especially complicated for organizations with multiple funding streams.

Understanding the differences between semi-annual certifications, monthly certifications, single cost objectives, and multiple cost objectives represents only the beginning when it comes to complying with time and effort reporting requirements. Since a salaries and fringe make up a huge portion of most Head Start grantee budget, getting time and effort reporting wrong could result in significant cost disallowances. This webinar will provide clear and practical explanations of time and effort reporting responsibilities to help improve your compliance with these federal requirements.
