Extra Compensation
- If extra compensation is not included in the original proposal, extra compensation can not be paid without seeking agency approval, especially in federal and federal flow through projects.
- Extra Compensation is an allowable direct cost only if the funding agency specifically allows extra compensation. Extra compensation must be labeled as such in the budget submitted to and approved by the funding agency.
- When a proposal requesting extra compensation has been submitted to OSP, a letter, signed by the PI, the person(s) receiving extra compensation, their Department Chair(s) and their Dean, must be attached to the proposal stating that all four of the following conditions of the Board of Regents Policy Manual (section 803.1404) for extra compensation will be fulfilled.
- The work is carried in addition to a normal full load;
- No qualified person is available to carry the additional work load as part of his/her normal duties;
- The work produces sufficient income to be self-supporting; and
- The additional duties must not be so heavy as to interfere with the performance of regular duties.
