The twleve-month optional payment plan is available to tenured, probationary tenure-track, non-tenure track, faculty associates, and administrative/professional (A/P) employees when they have a nine (9) through less than twleve (12) month appointment. Academic Personnel Regular Pay or Academic Personnel Administrative Increment will be included in the distributions of the twelve-month optional payment plan. Summer school appointments, irregular payments, faculty overload appointments and faculty extra pay are excluded from the calculation of twelve-month optional payment plan and paid according to the time period of the assignment.
Employees electing the twelve-month optional payment plan must file a signed payment election authorization form with the Payroll Office prior to the start date of an eligible appointment. Elections filed after the start date of an eligible appointment will be effective on the first date of the next eligible appointment. An election will remain in effect indefinitely until revoked. Revocation elections can be made at any time by completing a signed revocation of payment election on the payroll authorization form with the Payroll Office, but the revocation will not become effective until the first date of the employee's next eligible appointment.
If the twelve-month optional payment plan is elected and all criteria stated above are met, the employee's salary will be paid over twelve months. Each payroll advice notice will report the total funds earned but not paid.
Examples:
Without the twelve-month optional payment plan a 9 month appointment will be paid in 10 monthly payments. For example: An appointment beginning on 08/16/XX and ending 05/15/XX will be paid the last 1/2 of August, all of September through April and the first 1/2 of May.
With the twelve-month optional payment plan a 9 month appointment will be paid in 13 monthly payments. For example: An appointment beginning on 08/16/XX and ending 05/15/XX will be paid the last 1/2 of August, all of September through July, and first 1/2 of August.
