Dear RESADMers,

I need your input on an extra compensation issue that has been raised by
one of our faculty members. She is doing an NIH grant and is requesting
compensation for the winter intersession. She claims that she is not
obligated to teach during part of Dec and Jan and should be able to receive
compensation from the NIH grant. (She also claims that her faculty contract
is 7.25 months, rather than nine months because she is not obliged to work
during the summer and intersession months.) She has sent me a policy from
her former institution that allowed up to 20% additional compensation
during the academic year and up to 3 months compensation in the summer. For
externally funding, the policy stipulated that this was allowed if the
funding agency allowed it. We are looking to find out how other
institutions handle extra compensation.

Would your faculty be allowed to get paid extra compensation during the
academic year?  Would you allow extra compensation during the academic year
for an NIH grant?

Any policies that you could share with me would be much appreciated.
Thanks you.
