In order to assist faculty with the potential tax burden associated with grant-generated supplemental income, the Grants and Contracts, Human Resources and Business Services Offices have agreed to the following summer salary distribution policy Faculty receiving salaries from external research grants for work conducted during the summer months may, for the duration of the grant, elect one of the following options: - Retain the standard payment schedule of academic salary distribution over 12 months. Elect to have the supplemental pay distributed over two, three or four months between the spring and fall semesters.
- Request distribution of the academic year salary over ten months and distribution of the stipend or supplemental pay over two summer months. To make this adjustment, contact Pam Tesh (x2444) in the Human Resources office before August 15th of the calendar year preceding the summer grant.
To adjust your payment schedule, please submit a completed Grant-funded Supplemental Pay Form o the Grants and Contracts Office on or before May 15th indicating your preference for distribution of your supplemental pay. A separate form must be completed for each year's salary distribution. Stipends and supplemental pay could cause the rate of taxation to increase during the months these funds are received. Faculty may also adjust W4 tax forms to increase the number of deductions for the duration of the grant. When the stipend or supplemental pay is no longer being received, W4 tax forms can be reverted to the standard number of deductions. Please contact Rene Baker (x2461) in the Business Services office if you plan to adjust the number of deductions.
