Personnel Manager complements Grant Manager by allowing variable and fixed personnel costs to be included in the grant tracking process. By allocating personnel costs for the entire budget period, researchers and administrators can get very accurate figures on salary expenses, and run cost analysis and what-if scenarios on various staffing options.  With Personnel Manager you can quickly and effortlessly change fund allocations between grants and employees.  You can also run what-if –scenarios to predict what impact new employees, pay raises, fringe benefit adjustments or any other salary changes would have on your grants.
