iPeople Additional Pay Process revamped
iPeople’s online form for additional payments (generally for one-time projects, relocation, or awards) was changed mid-month. Communication went out to deans, directors, department heads, and lead staff across the University with information about the new process and features that are available. A complete explanation of the process, the form, and the routing of these requests can be found on the HR website and the policy on “employment in excess of full-time appointment” can be found on our online policy page under 3.2.11.
