Re: Faculty Overload Pay Herbert B. chermside 17 Jan 2002 14:54 EST

I have seen overload policies that appear to work.  They do not increase
the base pay; they merely allow payment of a supplement for an identified
overload.  Most limit it to one semester.  They all require approval at a
high level of academic management.  They could not be used to augment
faculty salary for taking on a federal sponsored program except in the
unusual case where the overload results from the federal project and the
project is very time constrained.  Even then, I would strongly consider, if
a case arose where we'd want to apply it to federal funding, having
recognition of the unusual overload nature written into the funding instrument.
