Summer Salary

The Research Foundation Summer Salary System allows the Principal Investigator to process the following transactions for eligible faculty members to receive summer salary for their efforts to the sponsored projects.  There are three steps in the process:

  1. Create Summer Salary Appointment;
  2. Submit Summer Salary Payment Authorization; and
  3. Certify Summer Salary Effort.

And they should be processed in that order as well.  A concise instruction on what actions are needed for each step is outlined below:

Step 1:  CREATE SUMMER SALARY APPOINTMENT

  • This is the step to encumber the requested amount of fund from that account for the entire summer. 
  • After this step is done, you are not yet to receive the payment.  This step only encumber the fund. 
  • This step can be done as soon as summer salary system is open, generally in May each year.
  • This step can be done before or after the intended pay period.  If before, Step 2 (payment authorization) cannot be submitted.  If after, payment authorization can be submitted as soon as account Project Administrator (PA) approves it.

Step 3: CERTIFY SUMMER SALARY EFFORT
