III.K.5   Schedule of Salary Payments

Faculty on nine-month appointments who are paid over a twelve-month period are paid in advance during July and August of each year of appointment and must complete the academic year to have earned that salary. (See Section XVIII.A.1.)

Faculty on nine-month appointments who conduct scholarly or research activities during the academic year that are supported by external funding sources may elect to participate in an alternative compensation schedule wherein academic year salaries will be paid over the nine academic months. This program permits faculty who charge a portion of their academic year salaries to sponsored projects to establish from those salary savings a special research account that may be used (a) to provide up to three months of summer salary, (b) as bridge funding, (c) to support new initiatives, or (d) for research-related expenses not normally allowable as direct costs on sponsored projects. This program is described in detail on the Web Site of the Office of Research Administration.

One-year appointees are normally appointed and paid from September through May, and one-semester appointees from September through December, or January through May, as appropriate. When circumstances warrant, and with prior permission from the Provost's Office, one-semester appointments may be made from July through December or from January through June, as appropriate. Similarly, one-year appointments may be made from July through June or from January through December.
