Overloads

Overloads

An Overload is additional pay earned by an employee for work performed that is substantially different and in addition to the essential duties and responsibilities of the employee’s regular position to operating units other than their own.  The employee and the supervisor must mutually acknowledge and agree that the overload will not interfere with the performance of employee’s regular duties.

Staff Overload Guidelines are available under Compensation Guidelines

Faculty Overload Guidelines are available under Overload Guidelines

Faculty teaching/non-teaching overloads must be approved by the Division of Academic Affairs.

Staff teaching/non-teaching overloads must be approved by University Human Resources.

The total amount of the overload will be automatically divided over the total number of days between the start and termination dates of the appointment. Therefore, you must create a retroactive pay adjustment from the appointment start date up to the beginning of the pay period in which the appointment is approved.
