If multiple funding sources are being used, a separate individual compensation transaction must be entered for each funding source. For example, if supplemental pay is being funded from two different funding sources, two individual compensation transactions must be submitted.

For individual compensation to be reflected on the next payroll, it must be entered and fully approved by the payroll deadline. Please see the Payroll Services webpage for the full list of payroll deadlines.

If the individual compensation is not fully approved or is submitted after the payroll deadline, it will be rejected, and you will need to resubmit the transaction before the following payroll deadline.

    • Amount: Enter the amount of the additional individual compensation.

        • Ongoing Checkbox: This option is automatically checked by default for transactions that apply.
          • If left checked, individual compensation payments will be disbursed each month indefinitely.
          • Please uncheck this box if the award payment has a defined end date.
