Examples

Additional hours for employees who are salaried and FLSA exempt (ineligible for overtime)

Salaried, exempt employees are not paid on an hourly basis, so hourly pay is not allowed.  Payment for work outside of contracted appointment (in home department or another department) must be handled another way.

Additional hours cannot be paid via Time Entry.  Other options include:
1) appointment percent increase (use PRF, see below)
2) one-time payment (use Earnings Request Form, see limits under "one-time payment" below)

Additional hours for employees who are salaried and non-exempt (eligible for overtime)

Salaried, non-exempt employees are paid the same monthly salary regardless of hours worked, up to forty in a week.  All non-exempt employees must be paid at the rate of time and one-half for hours worked over forty in a week.  If a part-time employee occasionally works beyond their FTE, the supervisor may request VP permission to pay those additional hours.

See "Overtime" below.  For non-overtime hours, the supervisor may request to pay those additional hours as straight-time (earn code OAP and account 10209) using an Earnings Request Form (VP approval required).  Reminder: all non-exempt employees must keep a time sheet.

Hours worked by a non-exempt employee, beyond regular schedule, up to 40 in a week

Appointment percent increase (benefits affected)

Increase in contracted appointment percent that crosses the benefits threshold (50%)

A contract revision is required for all appointment percent changes that affect benefits.  Use Request to Offer form (PWAAPPT screen in Banner).  VP approval required on RTO.

FTE increase from 45 to 55% or decrease from 55 to 45%

Appointment percent increase (benefits neutral)

Increase in contracted appointment percent, without crossing the benefits threshold (50%)

Use PRF for all benefits-neutral appointment percent changes.

Overload (also called AdditionalCompensation)

Pay for campus-sponsored activities in addition to regular full-time (100%) salary. Activities paid as additional compensation must be distinct from activities expected from the regular position. Although rare, FLSA-exempt OAs may receive additional compensation to teach a class, and only 50% of the compensation is allowed "out-load" (paid to employee).

Use Additional Compensation Form. If it is approved by VP, pay using Earnings Request Form or in Time Entry.  Use Earn Code OVX (account 10201) or OVP (account 10202). VP approval must be on file before payment.  If a non-instructional employee is teaching a class as an "overload" and is the instructor of record, a Request to Offer form must also be done. 

Overtime (overtime eligible employees only)

A few Faculty and OA positions at the UO are eligible for overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Enter eligible hours in Time Entry (PHAHOUR screen in Banner).  Use Earn Code OTM or OTP (account 10231).
