A non-standard pay appointment (non-standard) is created for a short timeframe in order to pay an employee (i.e., not a regular bi-weekly time period). For current employees, these are one-time tasks completely separate from their regular appointment. An example is a current university employee in the School of Music who is also an instrumentalist and performs during the university commencement ceremony twice an academic year. He/she receives non-standard payments in the instrumentalist role.
Contact Kim Williams if unsure whether a non-standard is appropriate.
Non-standards are not used in the following situations:
- Retro salary from a regular appointment
- Summer pay
- Overloads
Nonresident Aliens (NRAs) paid via Non-Standard must go through the Glacier process before the payment can be made. See section on NRA.
In order to pay, an adjustment must be done on the approved non-standard appointment. To aid in the audit process, the non-standard pay adjustment note should be specific and include:
- Nature of the work
- Days/time worked
- Total amount being paid or hourly rate, if applicable
- Payment number if splitting into multiple payments (i.e., 2 of 4)
