SPP 404–02: Supplemental Pay

To determine the appropriate compensation for supplemental work

University policy

Exempt employees

An exempt employee must obtain prior written approval from his or her administrative official before performing supplemental work for another department. Supplemental pay will be provided to an employee who performs work for a different department or performs different duties. Supplemental work includes tasks requiring an employee’s specific expertise or teaching academic or special interest courses.

Supplemental pay may be provided under any of the following conditions:

1. The supplemental work is within the employee’s regular job classification and will be paid within the regular pay range, but is performed for a department other than the employee’s assigned department and beyond the employee’s regular hours.
2. The supplemental work is a specific type which is separate and distinct from the duties and responsibilities of the employee’s regular job classification. In this case, the pay rate will be within the range of the assigned pay grade of the job classification which encompasses the supplemental work or at a pay rate approved by Human Resources (HR).
3. The supplemental work is teaching a special interest course which is offered without academic credit. The rate of compensation shall be based on the type of supplemental activity performed and approved by HR.
4. The supplemental work is teaching an academic course which will generate student credit hours. The rate of compensation shall be based on the normal compensation provided for the type of work rendered and shall be approved by Academic Affairs.

The number of hours for supplemental compensation shall not exceed 400 within a fiscal year.
