Contract Pay (SA Faculty)

This section provides overviews of the hiring and rehiring process, changes as a result of special cases, and accrual payouts and terminations of SA Faculty. See the left sidebar for sample forms.

Definitions

SA Faculty are faculty members who are paid over a 12 month period (September to August / SA) for work performed during a 9-month academic year. This type of payment will be referred to as "contract" pay. Two distinct time periods are key to processing contract pay:

  1. "Contract Period" - time period over which the person's duties are performed (September 1 - May 31)
  2. "Accrual (payment) Period" - time over which the person is paid for the work performed (September 1 - August 31).

Please Note:

  • Each faculty member may only have ONE active contract at a time.
  • No changes to contracts or contract amounts are permitted to be effective in June, July or August.
  • For faculty terminated midyear, all accumulated Earnings Not Paid (ENP) are due and payable to the faculty member.
  • For faculty members known to be leaving at the end of the fall semester, pay as "monthly" rather than as "contract".

Forms and Documents for New Hires and Rehires

  • Form I-9 (completed electronically)
  • W-4 Form (found in Oracle) 
  • Paycheck Direct Deposit
