Components of Faculty Compensation

Standard Definition: Academic Base• As described in the Handbook for Faculty and

Academic Administrators (Section II .E.11)

– Academic base salaries may be decreased only in accordance with an expressed agreement or because of financial exigency

• Salary paid for regular, full-time academic duties of standing faculty as derived by each School for:– Teaching– Research– Service

14

Standard Definition: Academic Base (cont’d)

• Does not include:– Extra salary for administrative appointments– Overload teaching– Summer research, teaching and administrative

appointments– Performance incentives – Bonuses

15

Standard Definition: Academic Base (cont’d)

• While normally paid for a 9-month academic year, paid out in 12 equal amounts in a monthly paycheck, some Schools pay an annualized base for regular academic duties performed over a 12-month period

• Faculty with a summer research role must have Academic Base entered– Summer research monthly pay period amount should

equal 1/9 of Academic Base or less

16

Standard Definition: Faculty Salary• A new term to describe salary normally paid for

academic duties of non-standing faculty• Does not include extra salary for:– Administrative appointments– Overload teaching– Summer research, teaching and/or administrative

appointments– Performance incentives – Bonuses

17

Standard Definition: Base Salary Supplement

• A new term to describe salary in excess of Academic Base or Faculty Salary that is guaranteed for a defined term

• Often necessary for recruitment and retention– May be reduced or eliminated at the School’s discretion, or

in accordance with any written agreement between the School and the Faculty member

18

Standard Definition: Base Salary Supplement (cont’d)

• Does not include:– Extra salary for administrative appointments– Overload teaching– Summer research, teaching and administrative

appointments– Performance incentives – Bonuses

• Not included in calculations of summer ninths for summer research stipends, summer teaching stipends and overload teaching stipends

19

Standard Definition: Administrative Stipends • Salary paid for administrative appointments

beyond regular teaching, research and service responsibilities

• May include duties performed on an interim basis• The administrative stipend amount should equal

the sum of all current administrative roles’ annual salaries

20

Standard Definition: Staff Salary • A new term to describe salary that is normally paid

for staff member duties, for those Faculty holding staff positions as their primary job – e.g. Senior Research Investigators and Health System

Clinicians

21

Valid Conditions Re: Compensation• Academic Base is required for Standing Faculty,

including Lecturer C and Clinician Educators– Non-Standing Faculty do not have an Academic

Base Salary• Only Faculty with a paid, non-guaranteed secondary

appointment should have both Academic Base and Faculty Salary

22

Valid Conditions Re: Compensation (cont’d)

• Two rates in the same compensation category (e.g. Academic Base) in effect at the same time are not allowed

• Faculty cannot have a Base Salary Supplement without first having an Academic Base or Faculty Salary

• Tenure track Faculty must have an Academic Base

23

24

• The HR/Payroll system (UMIS) uses ‘Jobs’ to capture appointment information – Limit of 4 Jobs allowed, with a maximum of 8 distributions per Job

• To stay within the 4 Job limit, often Faculty who have more than one administrative appointment have them grouped together under one ‘Job’ previously referred to as A1- Academician or the distribution is added to the main academic Job – This presents challenges when wanting to report on compensation for

each administrative appointment• Users manually merge appointments (most often administrative

appointments) to manage the records within the 4 Job limit

HR/Payroll (UMIS) Jobs PennWorks Roles

Before PennWorks…

• PennWorks uses ‘Roles’ on the Roles/Distribution tab to capture appointment information without a limit of 4

• PennWorks logic automatically provides a consistent reorganization of these roles into the HR/Payroll (UMIS) jobs when there are more than 4 – Much like users do manually today when the job limit is

exceeded

25

After PennWorks…

HR/Payroll (UMIS) Jobs PennWorks Roles

• For Faculty, this means that each administrative appointment can be captured separately in PennWorks along with the associated salary and distributions– e.g. A Faculty record can have multiple roles with job class

code 140010- Faculty Admin Appointment (A1) and select from any of the following descriptions:• Department Chair• Director of a Center/Institute• Graduate Group Chair• Lab Director

26

After PennWorks…

HR/Payroll (UMIS) Jobs PennWorks Roles (cont’d)

• The Home Organization who manages the Faculty Compensation Collection must be familiar with each Role in PennWorks to ensure the associated salary is accounted for

• Faculty administrative roles can be designated as ‘interim’

• Users may enter a free-text title to better describe the role – e.g. Director, Urban Design Program

• Unpaid roles may be added if an organization wants to record the appointment
