Additional Pay Requests
Additional Pay Policy
Additional Pay, or “Add Pay” is used to pay incremental compensation, in excess of the regular stipend, when a graduate student is in an active, appointed position. During the term of the appointed position, students are expected to continue making academic progress towards their degree. TGS oversees Add Pay to ensure that the additional efforts enhance their scholarship. There may also be compliance requirements from external sponsors while graduate students are on a fellowship.
TGS approval is required ONLY if any one of these thresholds are exceeded:
- Student will work more than 10 hours/week
- The period of service will exceed one month
- Compensation will be $600 or more
If any threshold is exceeded and TGS approval is required:
- Submit a Permission to Work Request. Before it's sent to TGS, the online form will first be routed to the Department/Program Chair and the student's advisor for approval.
- Once TGS approves, you'll receive an automated approval confirmation. This should be uploaded to the Add Pay request in MyHR.
To process Add Pay request through payroll:
- Enter request in MyHR: Payroll for North America < Employee Pay Data USA < Additional Pay Request. You must be deployed to have access.
- If applicable, upload approved Permission to Work. Your request will be routed for approvals and then submitted to payroll.
Training is required for security access. Contact Chris Tondini for registration information.
Note: Incremental pay for graduate students who are in unpaid positions are processed through Special Pay
