Deanne,
Have you tried something in line with a cash award (bonus). Some
institutions allow this for exempt staff.

> This is not really a "research" question but rather a question about

> terms of "additional compensation" (if allowed at all). We have tried
> to use our Research Engineers, whom are exempt employees, to assist
> our
> industrial liaison program occasionally when a project comes in. They
> are familiar with the equipment and are readily available. However,
> we
> have been told that since they are exempt (under FLSA standards), they
> cannot perform this extra work and be compensated for it unless they
> use
> vacation time. As an exempt employee, you are required to work at
> least
> 40 hours a week to perform your job. This makes it hard to give our
> engineers any incentive to work with the liaison program if they
> cannot
> be given additional compensation for the work provided.
