ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FOR FACULTY AND STAFF PAYMENT OF SALARIED EMPLOYEES
END OF THE FISCAL YEAR REMINDERS

ADDITIONAL PAY PROCESSING FOR FACULTY AND STAFF:

As the summer is fast approaching, this is a good time to remind Supervisors and Managers of the procedure in place for requesting additional compensation for Faculty and Staff.

Prior to the employee performing services, it is necessary for the hiring department to complete the appropriate request and receive departmental and Human Resources approval prior to the beginning of work. If the request is made after work begins, written justification should be included.

  • Request for Additional Pay for Administrative Stipend or Specialized Services
  • Request for Approval of Faculty Supplemental Effort and Pay
These forms can be found at the following link:

Also for your convenience, the Additional Pay Policy as well as Additional Pay Procedure can be found at the following link: www.unh.edu/hr/cmp.htm


PAYMENT OF SALARIED EMPLOYEES WHO ARE INVOLUNTARILY TERMINATING:

If an exempt (PAT, EE, Faculty) employee is given a written notice of termination of his/her position, the date of termination shall be at the end of the pay period.

By law, as stated in Chapter 275, Protective Legislation, Section 275:43-b, Payment of Salaried Employees: a Salaried employee shall receive full salary for any pay period in which such employee performs any work without regard to the number of days of hours worked.

This includes budgeted positions, grant funded positions, term positions, etc.

Operating Staff may be terminated before the end of a pay period, since they are paid by the hour.

Please contact your HR Partner if there are questions.
