Flat Rate Stipend for a Non-Exempt employee (not covered by a union)

A stipend is a fixed sum, usually temporary, paid to an employee to recognize work responsibilities that are significantly higher than the employee’s regular duties. Stipends are entered differently depending on the type of employee.

  • Academic Stipendsare entered as an Additional Job (Earn code STP).
  • Exempt Employees in Staff job codes that are range-based, the stipend is entered as an additional distribution line on the regular job with Earn Code SAS (Staff Stipend).
  • As of Nov 2014 – Non-Exempt employees not represented by a union may receive a lump sum stipend as an additional job.
  • Employees in Staff job codes that are Step-based (usually covered by a union) receive extra pay through Temporary Job Reclassifications or Step Increases, not as stipends.

If the department is trying to convert a monthly amount into a Biweekly amount that they want paid out every biweekly cycle, the HR Partner (in CSS) or the appropriate party in non-CSS units will need to figure out the Biweekly amount before entry. The calculation is:

Flat Dollar amounts (Stipends) will be annualized​(12)​and divided by 26 biweekly pay cycles to come up with a biweekly pay rate.

$1000X12/26=$461.54

*2088=174 x 12
