Dates
Nine-month faculty may receive pay for work during the summer months. There are specific dates designated each year for summer pay: the day after commencement and the day before Fall Semester classes begin.
Amounts
The amount should be based on the faculty member's daily rate. A faculty member's summer pay should not be calculated as one-half month's pay in May and August. Please be aware that in some years the earning period calculation may slightly exceed the permitted one third (1/3) of base pay limitation. When this is the case, the pay must be adjusted to fall within the 1/3 guideline.
A spreadsheet template and an example of a completed template is provided as attachment to this web-based document to assist departments in calculating the appropriate summer pay amounts for faculty.
Several important notes in performing summer pay calculations for 9-month faculty:
-
For part-time (less than 1.0 FTE) faculty, the limit on total summer salary to be paid may, at the option of the Department/School, be based on the full-time annualized rate recognizing that the work assigned during the summer months may exceed the normal academic year work schedule. This applies to the total cap on such salary but the department may pay any lesser amount at its discretion.
-
All salary rates and payment amounts must be in whole dollars for both summer salaries and summer school pay.
-
Please adhere to the applicable dates each year for calculation of summer compensation which are the day after commencement and the day before fall classes begin. Use of dates outside of this timeframe will result in the summer payment being disapproved.
