55 Pa. Code § 1181.241 - General administration salaries
(a) Salaries of the facility's administrator,
comptroller, purchasing agent, personnel director, pharmacy consultant and
other persons performing general supervision or management duties shall be
includable in the general administration allowance.
(b) Compensation of owners, officers or
persons other than facility employes means actual payment during the cost
reporting period on a current basis of salary or benefits for services rendered
to the facility.
(c) If a person
performs work customarily performed by different or several types of employes,
the cost of the salary and other compensation allowable for the person shall be
determined by the prorated customary salary and other compensation paid to
employes for performing the same types of work in accordance with the
methodology established in subsection (f). This cost will be allowable only if
adequate documentation verifying the cost is supplied by the facility. Adequate
documentation consists of a job description defining the responsibilities of
the person and time records documenting the allocation of the person's time for
the performance of each type of work on a daily basis. The cost of salary and
other compensation paid to the person for work performed shall be recorded as
general administration costs.
(d)
The salary or compensation costs of owners, operators or persons other than
facility employes may be included only to the extent of their documented time
and involvement in the required management of a facility.
(e) The allowable cost for a person
performing necessary duties may not exceed the customary compensation and
fringe benefits, as determined in accordance with the methodology established
in subsection (f) that an employe would normally receive while performing that
work.
(f) The cost of customary
compensation and fringe benefits for employes performing necessary duties in
general facilities, excluding hospital-based and special rehabilitation
facilities, will be based on an average of the cost of the compensation and
fringe benefits of employes performing the same work in enrolled general
facilities, excluding hospital-based and special rehabilitation facilities,
which are located in the county in which the facility is located and in
counties within this Commonwealth which are contiguous to that county. The cost
of customary compensation and fringe benefits for employes performing necessary
duties in hospital-based, special rehabilitation and county facilities will be
based upon separate Statewide averages of the cost of enrolled facilities of
each type for the compensation and fringe benefits of employes performing the
same work.
(g) The cost of general
administrative salaries and benefits are included within the 12% overall
maximum allowance, prorated between skilled nursing and intermediate care
units, for general administration costs.
