University-Funded (or other Non Grant-Funded) Additional Compensation.

The University has launched electronic additional compensation forms for all non–grant-funded requests. This change supports our continued commitment to improving efficiency and reducing paper use across campus.

Please note: A separate, detailed communication was sent directly to users with security access to the new electronic form.


Grant-Funded Additional Compensation.

Please complete a Proxy Form if you are filling this out on behalf of someone else.

  1. Step 1: Request a Salary Analysis for Additional Compensation. This form must be filled out prior to submitting an Additional Compensation form. Once you receive the report back this must be attached to the Additional Compensation form request. Please allow one week for this report.

  2. Step 2: Complete this form if you are the Principal Investigator and wish to submit an Additional Compensation form for payment.
  3. Step 3: Complete this form if you are not the Principal Investigator, or if you are submitting an Additional Compensation form for payment on the behalf of someone else.

Note: Once an Additional Compensation Form for a Grant funded employee is submitted, the form will electronically be sent to the appropriate parties for approval. Ultimately the form will be electronically sent to Payroll for processing.
