Award payments to University employees funded by the Foundation must be paid as supplemental pay through UGA Payroll. Funding for and payment of awards for faculty and staff should be requested through the University's payroll system. Award programs must adhere to the USG Incentive Compensation and Rewards Policy and must align with the trust purpose of the Foundation fund being utilized. Supplemental compensation paid to employees who are on UGA’s payroll shall not be paid as per diem and fees or as stipends. Each request must be approved by the appropriate Dean, Vice President, or Director. Supplemental compensation is subject to withholding in accordance with Internal Revenue Service and appropriate state taxing agency regulations. The requesting department must have preapproval of the program through University Human Resources (UHR). Approval is documented and reviewed through UHR, and the funding source is audited by the Foundation. Proposed awards programs can be sent to hrweb@uga.edu for approval.
Please refer to UGA and USG policy for further information regarding additional compensation.
Instructions for submitting an award through UGA's payroll system can be found in UGA's Knowledge Base.
