If a professional staff employee temporarily takes on additional duties outside of their normal job duties, additional compensation may be appropriate in addition to their base pay. Generally, additional compensation should not exceed 25% of their base pay.<\/p>\n

Temporary pay<\/h4>\n

When a professional staff employee\u2019s job duties and responsibilities temporarily increase, departments may request Compensation approval of temporary pay. Temporary pay is paid through an allowance or additional salary plan and is not a change to base pay. There are two types of temporary pay for professional staff:<\/p>\n

Temporary Pay Increase (TPI)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A temporary pay increase of at least 5% over current salary may be paid when a FLSA exempt professional staff employee temporarily assumes higher-level or additional responsibilities for ten or more workdays. TPIs may be paid for up to one year.<\/p>\n

Temporary Salary Increase (TSI)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A temporary salary increase of at least 5% over current salary may be paid when a FLSA nonexempt professional staff employee temporarily assumes higher-level or additional responsibilities for ten or more workdays. TSIs may be paid for up to one year.<\/p>\n

One-time payment<\/h4>\n

One-time payments are single, lump sum payments for services rendered or a job duty fulfilled.<\/p>\n

Occasional and sporadic assignment – unrelated duties payment<\/h5>\n

Under exceptional circumstances, professional staff may qualify for a one-time payment for work that is not part of a position\u2019s normal job duties, and that is typically performed outside of the employee\u2019s home department.<\/p>\n

Examples of work that might qualify for a one-time payment for unrelated duties when they are not part of an employee\u2019s regular position are:<\/p>\n
