Entering Job Overloads in HRS

Overview

In this procedure, the process for providing compensation for an approved overload will be outlined. There are three ways in which a person can receive additional compensation for an overload:

1. Additional Pay on the current appointment

2. A lump sum job set up with Additional Pay

3. An additional job set up with a low FTE to account for the percent time of the overload.

Process Considerations:

  • Overload Payments: General Policy

Overload payments may be made where:

1) With the consent of the employee, substantial additional work requirements are added to the duties of a full-time employee, in effect creating a workload exceeding 100% of the employee's time, and the need for the performance of the additional work is unusual, short-term or nonrecurring in nature;* or

2) A full-time employee of one UW System institution accepts an institution approved part-time appointment to perform services at another UW System institution, in addition to his/her full-time position.**

  • Calculation of Overload Payments: In accordance with Unclassified Personnel Guideline #4 - Unclassified Compensation (Section 4.08),

    "Overload payments must be approved, in advance, by the chancellor or designee. Overload compensation may not exceed the higher of 20 percent of the employee’s base appointment salary or $18,000, unless the chancellor or designee determines that good cause exists to exceed this threshold and issues an exception in writing."
