....here is Herb's email from 2004 relating to the subject of "overload pay". Time tested guidance. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] overload pay on contracts Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 11:52:34 -0400 From: Herbert B. Chermside <xxxxxx@VERIZON.NET> Reply-To: Research Administration Discussion List <xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG> To: xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG References: <003301c4b173$b9a85a30$xxxxxx@sponsored1lt> If the overload is temporary -- probably limited to one semester, at most two -- AND is in accordance with an institutional policy (which should require a high academic official to approve), AND there is no reduction of other duties, AND sponsor is fully aware and approves that it is overload, it is justifiable. However, there should not be a continuation of this arrangement for this individual. You can only justify overload in this way, when it is clearly in excess of the standard full load. Usually when you look at all of these limitations, you find that it is not really an overload, but just a way to get pay in excess of regular full time pay. The fact that it is a contract makes no difference. However, sometimes the situation you describe, industry sub under a federal contract, actually is to obtain expertise for a relatively short time, and the institution can justify the work as overload.
