Two or three weeks ago, someone posted a question regarding
supplemental salary payments to faculty during the academic year.  I
recall seeing just one response, but I was hoping to hear a bit more.

Is anyone willing to offer their thoughts, advice or policy on when
such payments are permitted?  What "test" do you apply when determing
whether to allow supplemental pay on federal (or federal flow though)
awards?

Does anyone link salary supplementation to their policy on faculty
consulting?   To those institutions that permit AY supplementation:  Do

you permit salary recovery at a rate in excess of the faculty member's
normal rate of pay?

Our Director has worked at three different universities and has seen
three very different policies in place.  We would appreciate a
discussion of this topic.
