When should compensation for an employee’s out-of-scope work be entered as Additional Pay?

Additional Pay transactions are used to pay an employee a regular flat dollar amount above their base compensation, on a recurring basis. For example, an employee is temporarily taking on job duties outside the scope of their job description and receives a monthly $500 stipend.

If the out-of-scope work is associated with a separate hourly/annual pay rate (for example, a temporary out-of-class assignment), this would be entered as a concurrent hire.

Is there a way for the initiator to see what Additional Pay has been submitted?

Yes. There are multiple pages that will allow you to review Additional Pay that has been submitted and approved.

If an employee is owed missed pay, is recurring Additional Pay the correct form to use?

Only if it is missed recurring additional pay.

If the employee is owed additional hours that have not been paid, it should be submitted via Payroll Request (ex: Off-Cycle) or through the I-181 time file.

Additional Pay transactions are used to pay an employee a regular flat dollar amount above their base compensation, on a recurring basis. For example, a $500 stipend paid once a month, or once a pay period.

On what frequency does recurring additional pay get paid?

Recurring additional pay is paid by pay period and will be processed on on-cycle payrolls only.

For monthly employees, it would pay once a month. For biweekly employees, additional pay can be defined for each payday in the month. For example, you could define additional pay to pay on the first biweekly pay cycle of the month, for the first and second biweekly pay cycle of the month, or for all three biweekly pay cycles in a month (for those months that have three biweekly paydays in a month).
