XVIII.B   Summer Compensation from University-administered Funds

Faculty on nine-month academic year appointments may be employed during any of the three summer months, either at Yale, at another academic institution, or by any other employer. There are no restrictions on the amount of compensation earned from any non-Yale employer.

Faculty members who hold academic-year (nine-month) appointments may, under the conditions listed below, receive additional salary from University-administered funds for work on projects during the summer; that is, between Commencement and registration for classes in the fall semester. Faculty on nine-month appointments may receive such additional salary whether they are compensated over nine or twelve months. The program permitting compensation over nine rather than twelve months is described in further detail on the Web site of the Office of Research Administration. Most such projects are sponsored by, and funded from, sources external to the University, often agencies of the federal government. Salary paid for work conducted during the summer months is subject to the normal withholding taxes and retirement contributions, subject to federal and state maximums. University policy imposes certain conditions on the receipt of summer compensation from Yale-administered funds.

1. The maximum monthly salary is one-ninth of the academic year salary, and the maximum amount of time for which full-time salary may normally be earned for work performed in the summer is two and a half months.

2. As is the case during the academic year, faculty members may not accept other employment during any month in the summer in which they receive full-time salary from Yale-administered funds.

3. The appropriate form showing the source and amount of funds and the period of work must be submitted as for any other appointment.

4. Faculty may receive honoraria, rather than salary, during the summer for programs administered by Yale only if all of the following conditions are met:

a. For the month in which it is earned, this is the only payment to be received by the faculty member from Yale-administered funds and the payment is minimal, i.e., under $1,000.

b. Such payments are made as supplementary payments through the Yale payroll system.

Under all other circumstances compensation for participation in a summer program (including grants or contracts) administered by Yale may not be paid as an honorarium, but must be shown on budgets as a percent of effort (or person-months, depending on sponsor) and paid through the payroll system as summer compensation. In such cases, the compensation received during a summer month cannot exceed the academic year monthly rate.
