Salary Stipend
What is a Salary Stipend?
A salary stipend is an amount between 3% and 10% added
to the base pay and paid on a month to month basis for special project coordination
and/or lead work assignments over and above the regularly assigned duties or when
required to maintain contact with the campus outside normal work hours on a regular
basis.
How is a Salary Stipend initiated?
To initiate a salary stipend, the Dean/Director
shall submit a completed and approved Salary Stipend form to Human Resources outlining
the special project, lead responsibilities, or requirement for campus contact including
the duration of the assignment. Under the justification section of the form, you
must describe the rationale and provide specific examples for initiating the salary
stipend.
This form may be obtained through Informed Filler.
It is important that no commitments be made to the staff member regarding a salary increase until after
the division has authorized the stipend and Human Resources has evaluated the request.
Employee Notification and Effective Date.
After the request has been approved by
the appropriate parties and submitted to Human Resources, the employee will be notified
in writing of the outcome. If a salary stipend is granted, the effective date is
the beginning of the pay period following the date the form is received in Human
Resources. Salary stipends will not be retroactive.
