'''9. Productive hours per month: 140'''

<P Align="justify">Although the productive hours calculation is unified for the whole organization, the calculation of the personnel cost can be vary per project due to the different time commitment definition applied by the funding organization such as in European Commission programs.</p>

====Personnel cost based on Man-month====

<P Align="justify">In case of projects defining staff involvement as certain man-month (or man-days), '''every hour''' reported by the [[Associate|associate]] is subject to payment in compliance with the Working Contract, no fluctuation in hours or any difference between hours reported and hours paid is allowed unless the [[Policy: Signing a Contract with Future Worlds Center|Working Contract]] says otherwise.</p>

====Personnel cost based on % of time====

* The [[Associate|associate]] devotes a minimum of 1,680 hours per annum to his/her task, i.e., average 140 hours per month and

* The fluctuation of the monthly productive hours during a calendar year does not exceed the 30% of the average monthly hours stated above.

<P Align="justify">In extraordinary situations in which an associate is constrained in delivering his/her tasks due to unexpected obstacles, and the monthly productive hours fall below the 30% of the expected average for more than 3 consecutive months, Future Worlds Center has the right to terminate the contract.</p>
