Administrative Stipends - Academic Affairs Policy and Guidelines

Approval Authority:
Vice chancellors are authorized to approve administrative stipends up to one year for all staff employees, except students working in casual-restricted positions. Academic Affairs has re-delegated this authority to divisions - in some cases this authority has been further delegated to department business officers (see chart below). Administrative stipend requests for casual-restricted positions should be forwarded to the Assistant Director, Job Opportunities Program, for approval. Stipends extending beyond one year must be approved by Campus Human Resources (contact Academic Affairs-assigned Compensation Specialist for approval).

Required documentation:
Those authorized to approve administrative stipends must complete and maintain the Administrative Stipend Approval Form (PDF or Word) in department files. Compensation specialists will randomly audit administrative stipends approved outside of the Human Resources Department for compliance with policies and collective bargaining agreements. The audit will include a review of the form and the changes entered into the PPS. Audit results will be periodically communicated to vice chancellors.
