      3. Coverage Dates (not in all OTP business processes): Date range services were performed

      4. Scheduled Payment Date: This is not the same as the Payroll pay date, but acts more like a service date. If, for instance, a Payroll payment date of August 1 is desired, a Scheduled Payment Date prior to July 31 should be used. (This does not apply to retroactive dates.) Be sure that the Scheduled Payment Date is on or after Coverage End Date.

Note

Costing when using multiple cost centers: The One-Time Payment business process does not allow entering percentages to distribute costs across multiple cost centers, nor does it allow multiple cost centers to be entered for a single payment. Instead, the payment should be split into multiple payments on the same business process, each with its own cost center and corresponding share of the total amount.

Instructional Overload (IO)

...

The required teaching course load for a Tenured/Tenure-Track faculty member in the College of Education is two organized courses per long semester. Teaching courses in excess of that is typically approved only in exceptional circumstances, and requires the prior approval of the department chair and Academic Personnel Services (APS).

Note that Option III classes do not generate teaching load credits, and so do not require prior approval from APS, nor an Instructional Overload Pre-Approval Form. See the "Option III" tab on this page for more information.

Summer process

The definition of "Instructional Overload" during the summer is different from its definition in fall and spring semesters. During the summer, faculty are normally allowed to teach one organized course in any summer teaching form without pre-approvals. If a faculty member is teaching two or more organized courses during the summer, that is considered an Instructional Overload, and requires Chair and/or Dean pre-approval, according to CSU guidelines. 

...

A summer job should be processed in Workday, with the allowance coded as "Instructional Overload."

Option III

Policy

...

Option III classes do not generate teaching load credits, and so do not require prior approval from APS, nor an Instructional Overload Pre-Approval Form.

...

  1. Obtain department chair approval of the Option III payment before beginning processing. (The chair's name and date of approval will be noted in the Workday business process.)

...

  1. Use the Faculty Additional Employment Decision Tree to determine the most appropriate method of payment - either One-Time Payment or Allowance.

...

  1. Choose payment component "Option III" in the appropriate business process. (Note that Workday allows only one active allowance plan of a single type per position at a time.

...

...

  1. Costing should be from the department's Option III Program account.

...

  1. Include the following in comments:

    1. Approval details: "Option III payment approved by Chair Name on MM/DD/YYYY." 

    2. Option III course name and enrollment numbers

Summer process

For nine-month faculty, compensation for work done during the summer should be compensated via summer Additional Job, as long as doing so does not result in a total of more than 40 Scheduled Weekly Hours across all summer jobs during any given time period. Any portion of Option III compensation that would result in more than 40 SWH should be paid via One-Time Payment or Allowance, on top of the summer jobs.

Department chair approval of Option III payments is required prior to processing - please include comments in the Workday business process indicating approval - for example, "Option III payment approved by Chair Name on MM/DD/YYYY."
