Performance of Extra Service Contracts

 

 

Section X-24 of the Fiscal Policy and Procedures Manual contains the University's policy on "Employee Involved in University Extra-Services Employment Activities". 

The policy states, among other things, the following:

"Occasionally, employees are asked to assume responsibility for additional duties relatively unrelated to, or independent of, their normal work. When such assignments are clearly not a part of the employee’s normal assignment, additional compensation may be permitted. Such additional compensation must be justified on a case-by-case basis and approved prior to the beginning of the assignment."

"Faculty, non-faculty unclassified and classified employees should not engage in extra services activities during their regularly scheduled work day.  The University's normal work day for non-faculty unclassified and classified employees generally is 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM."

"Extra services contracts must be submitted and fully approved before employee is assigned duties for extra service payment. Employee must not begin work before the appointment is approved by the appropriate individuals."

This policy can be found in its entirety at the link above.

In addition, employees may not simultaneously engage in extra services activities and accrue compensatory leave.  An employee cannot be compensated monetarily (e.g. by means of an extra services contract) and accrue compensatory leave for the same hours of work.
