Overload Compensation/Supplemental Pay Policy
DRAFT, UNDER REVIEW BY UTEP OFFICIALS, SEPT. 2009
Introduction
Administrators, faculty, and professional staff under full-time employment contract to The University of Texas at El Paso are accountable to the University for 100 percent of the duties associated with their basic appointment. These professionals are committed to participation in a multitude of related activities including teaching, research, creative endeavors, university/public service, and administrative duties. Their performance is measured based on their contributions to these activities, and they are free to determine the allocation of their time as long as no responsibility is diminished. Unlike classified employees, for whom overtime pay is required, there are no work hour limitations for UTEP administrators, faculty, and professional staff.
Time is a variable that must be applied to the accomplishment of tasks associated with the successful performance of a variety of regular duties. Employment contracts for administrators, faculty, and professional staff are duty-based, not time-based. Full compensation for the performance of all regular duties is stipulated in the professional employee's basic appointment. Compensation over and above the employee's institutional base salary, for a given base salary period regardless of source of funds (sponsored or non-sponsored), is not allowed for performance of regular contracted duties.
In certain situations, however, compensation in excess of the institutional base salary may be justified. It is the purpose of this policy to define extra-contractual/supplemental compensation as it relates to various personnel and situations, and to establish the review criteria and procedures for the payment of such compensation, regardless of the source of funds. Extra-contractual compensation paid under these circumstances must be specifically provided for in the agreement or approved in writing by the sponsoring agency and appropriate University Officials.
