Dear Deans, Department Managers and Faculty,
For Spring 2024 Academic Affairs and Human Resources would like to utilize the Overload pay for any Ranked Faculty member that will be taking on extra teaching. This will help to ensure we have accurate information for Adjunct hires including number of hires and salaries. This will also allow the process to come to Academic Affairs to be approved by the Provost.
When completing this in Workday please make sure you have all the information needed to complete the process.
