3.Funding Source Limitations

Supplemental Payroll payments paid from grant or contract funds are subject to the following limitations:

3.1 The Principal Investigator may not receive a supplemental payment from their grant or contract. The acceptance of the grant or contract by the University makes the duties on the grant or contract part of the Principal Investigator's duties and thus, they do not meet the criteria for supplemental payments. A portion of the Principal Investigator's base salary should be paid from the grant or contract.

3.2 In the event a faculty member is paid partially from a grant or contract and then required to teach an extra course, the faculty member may receive an overload payment from faculty salaries (StateFunds). For example: A faculty member works 25% effort on a grant and is asked to teach 12 semester credit hours for the semester. The faculty member's base pay should be paid 25% from the grant and 75% from State funds. Additionally, the faculty member may be paid for the 3 SCH's of teaching overload.

3.3 The activity performed on the grant or contract must be an allowable direct expense. For most Federal grants and contracts, secretarial/clerical support is not an allowable direct expense, since it falls within the definition of an indirect cost. Exceptions to this are allowed when the expense is specifically approved in the grant.

3.4 The work performed on the grant must be clearly defined tasks or activities and should be one-time or intermittent.

4. Procedures

4.1 For Compassable Internal Consulting or Supplemental Payments (as defined in above table), the requesting department must complete the Request for Supplemental Pay Form (Attachment 1) and obtain the required approvals before authorizing the employee to perform the work. [Note: The Supplemental Pay Form is not required for other types of Supplemental Payroll Payments.]

4.2 Payment of authorized Supplemental Payroll Payments must be initiated with a Payroll Adjustment form, supported by Request for Supplemental Pay Form or time sheets (as applicable).

4.3 Approved Payroll Adjustment forms are forwarded to the Payroll Office for processing on the next bi-weekly payroll.
