Extra Service is defined as: Work performed by academic and professional staff in a State payroll agency other than the one to which the employee is regularly assigned, or special assignment performed by academic and professional staff at their own campus which is substantially different from or in addition to an individual's professional responsibilities. Extra service assignments may be performed on the home campus but must be in addition to and must not interfere with the individual's regular responsibilities. Such assignments may include service by those holding positions other than academic rank, i.e. administrators and other professionals. These assignments may involve, but are not limited to, teaching, research, and public service. Extra service must be closely monitored. It must be clearly demonstrated that any extra service exceeds that which is normally performed under the regular obligation and outside of normal working hours.
All extra service assignments at SUNYIT may only be offered subject to the advance approval of the individual's immediate supervisor and the appropriate Vice President. Authorization for approval of extra service for professional employees except M/C has been delegated by the Chancellor to the Chief Administrative Officer of each campus. Extra service for M/C employees requires approval of the Chancellor or his designee.
Compensation for extra service is not to exceed an amount equal to 20 percent of base annual salary in any academic or calendar year. For example, a professional staff member earning a salary of $25,000 may not be paid more than $5,000 for extra service during the course of his or her annual professional obligation. Summer employment outside the period of an academic year obligation does not constitute extra service. Compensation for such summer employment is covered by other policies and procedures.
Depending upon the employee's primary State employment status and the nature of the extra service assignment to be performed, certain approvals must be obtained before this campus is able to pay the individual for extra service. The following table shows the forms that are required for payment:
