End of Fiscal Year Reminders From HR
May 9, 2007
Additional pay processing for faculty and staff:
As the summer is fast approaching, a reminder of the procedure in place
for requesting additional compensation for faculty and staff:
Prior to the employee performing services, it is necessary for the hiring
department to complete the appropriate request and receive departmental
and Human Resources approval prior to the beginning of work. If the request
is made after work begins, written justification should be included. HR
approval of additional pay requests is required before Business Service
Centers may process additional payments.
· Request for Additional Pay for Administrative Stipend or Specialized
Services
· Request for Approval of Faculty Supplemental Effort and Pay
These forms can be found at the following link: www.unh.edu/hr/pubs-frm.htm#supp
The Additional Pay Policy as well as Additional Pay Procedure can be found
at the following link: www.unh.edu/hr/cmp.htm.
Payment of salaried employees who are involuntarily terminating:
If an exempt (PAT, EE, Faculty) employee is given a written notice of
termination of his/her position, the date of termination shall be at the
end of the pay period.
By law, as stated in Chapter 275, Protective Legislation, Section 275:43-b,
Payment of Salaried Employees: a Salaried employee shall receive full salary
for any pay period in which such employee performs any work without regard
to the number of days or hours worked.
This includes budgeted positions, grant funded positions, term positions,
etc.
Operating Staff may be terminated before the end of a pay period, since
they are paid by the hour.
Deferred Pay (Spread Pay):
Academic Year Faculty and part-time exempt status employees (PAT, EE,
AA) whose work period is other than 7/1 to 6/30, may choose to have a portion
of their wages held to be paid out during the non-work period following
their appointment year. This selection (or change to an existing selection)
MUST occur at least two weeks before the employee’s pay year begins.
Late requests cannot be processed.
Faculty wishing to make an election or change their current selection
must complete the USNH Defer Pay Selection/Change Form and return it to
Human Resources no later then noon on 8/1/07. The form can be found at
the following link: www.finadmin.unh.edu/controller/pr_forms.html, or forms
may be requested from Human Resources by phoning 862-0501. Questions may
be directed to Joyce Cleary at 862-0513.

pool information and forms are available on the Human Resources web site

The Sick Leave Pool is intended to provide additional security by allowing
staff members the opportunity to exchange Earned Time Hours for Sick Pool
Hours at the equivalent rate of three Sick Pool Hours for each hour of
Earned Time. For employee’s own illness, usage of Sick Pool Hours
commences with the sixth consecutive day of absence from work due to illness
or injury. A Certification of Physician form must accompany the request
to use Sick Pool Time. Sick Pool may also be used for Family Leave and
Extended Bereavement Leave (see Family Leave and Extended Bereavement Leave
below).
