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

> 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
