4.01    General Increases

Office Support Personnel are eligible for general pay increases if they receive a minimum score of three on the annual performance appraisal.  Those who receive less than three receive a second appraisal in six months.  If a three is then received, the general pay increase will be in effect for the second half of the year (March 1 - August 31).  (Refer to Policy 04:035)

Other staff receive general increases as announced by the President.  (Refer to Section 4.06)

4.02    Merit Increases

Office Support Personnel are eligible for merit increases if they achieve an annual performance appraisal score of four or above and complete education/training units during the year (July 1 - June 30).  (Refer to Policy 04:035)

Other staff receive merit increases as announced by the President.

4.03    Overtime

Staff subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act (i.e., non-exempt staff) should in no circumstances work beyond normally assigned work hours without the prior approval of the immediate supervisor and/or dean/director.  When overtime is worked, the hours should be reported on the leave report.  Payment will be computed at one-and-one-half times for hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a week.  For hours earned but not worked in excess of 40 hours in a week - or for part-time employment, hours in excess of the normal workweek, payment will be computed at straight time.

Temporary staff will not normally be allowed to work overtime.  However, when overtime becomes necessary, it will be paid in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act.

4.04  Pay Periods and Receipt of Pay 

Salary payments are made as follows: 

 

1.  All regularly employed staff are paid monthly on the first of each month by direct deposit to any financial institution participating in the Automated Clearing House.  When the first falls on a Saturday, the pay date would be Friday; when the first falls on Sunday, the pay date would be Monday.  New Year's Day and Labor Day may cause a change in the normal pay schedule.  Pay statements showing gross pay, itemized benefits and deductions, and net deposits are available to employees online through the University’s Banner self-service system. Changes affecting payroll must be received in Human Resources by the 20th of the month.

 

2. Temporary employees are paid on an hourly basis each month. Hours worked should be submitted to the Payroll Office on the 5th of the following month for payment on the 15th of the month, and will be paid by direct deposit.  Pay statements showing gross pay, itemized deductions, and net deposits are available to employees online through the Banner self-service system.

 

3. Staff employed for special projects are paid on the first available payroll following the completion of the work.  Personnel Action Forms should be processed to initiate payment and be submitted to Human Resources by the 20th for payment on the first.  Payment is made through direct deposit.

Voluntary termination or discharge for misconduct is not normally covered by unemployment compensation. The University contributes the total cost for this coverage.
