Re: extra compensation policy Sara L Wilhelm 22 Sep 2008 12:22 EST
If her contract states 9 months, then she is getting paid for 9-months, regardless of whether or not she is obligated to teach for part of that period. Our faculty are not allowed to receive compensation during the AY from sponsored projects, regardless of the funder. Total base salary should account for 100% effort during the academic year, including grant work. Our faculty are on 10-month contracts, so they are permitted to be paid a maximum of 20% of their base salary from sponsored projects during the 2 summer months for which they are not under university contract.

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.
