| Automated Faculty Load and Compensation Processing / Using Position Numbers with Faculty Compensation | |
Typically, a full-time faculty member has one job assignment and is compensated for a number of assigned activities.
Overload payments can occur when the faculty member is assigned more than a full load. In this situation, a separate position number is assigned in the Faculty Compensation module to designate the overload payment. If the same position number and suffix are used for the overload payment, the overload compensation is added to the regular assignment pay under one position, potentially making identification of these payments difficult and also causing benefit costs to be incorrectly calculated against these additional dollars. It is recommended that one position number and one suffix be used for the regular contact, and a unique position number and suffix be used for the overload.
