Salary Augmentation Policy
Policy Owner: Dean
Policy Contact: Chief of Staff
POLICY STATEMENT
Within this document are the list of approved augments based on specific additional roles and responsibilities. These augmentations will remain in place as long as the faculty or staff member continues to perform the tasks associated with the augmentation and will be discontinued when the additional responsibilities end.
Rules:
- Augmentations not pre-approved through this policy require the approval of the Dean.
- No person is eligible for a double augmentation without approval from the Dean.
- When an individual faculty has two roles with an associated augmentation, the total compensation from augmentations should not be greater than $15,000. If approved by the Dean, the additional compensation will be set at 25- 50% of the second augmentation.
- When a faculty salary is below an administrative salary range, the standard augmentation rate can be supplemented without increasing the faculty’s base salary to achieve the appropriate administrative salary level.

REASON FOR POLICY
Faculty and staff salaries may warrant additional augmentation when additional responsibilities increase workload or add administrative roles. This document intends to provide consistency and transparency for the administration of augmentations.
PROCEDURES
Approved augments will be automatically processed through a notification contract from Human Resources. The augment will be in effect until the termination date identified in the contract. Upon extension of the administrative or faculty function, the augment will be applied.
To request an exception through the Dean’s approval, justification as to why an augment is needed should be submitted through the Chief of Staff.
