Human Resources

With appropriate approvals and attestations, faculty members may engage in University activities for extra compensation. Such activity must constitute an employer/employee relationship and does not include payments for teaching loads over the faculty member’s assigned teaching load. The additional activities are not considered consulting or payments for royalties, but rather a bona fide employment opportunity within Auburn University, eligible for compensation. The paying unit will be responsible for all payroll processing with the approval of the faculty member’s home department and dean’s office by completing the UPO-10.
