Summer Salary Payment Guide

Summer school instructors receive payment through Individual Compensation Payments (ICPs) in iO. Multiple ICPs can be established simultaneously and scheduled for payment on designated semi-monthly paydays.

Step 1: Verify Faculty Assignment Status. Does the instructor have an existing faculty appointment for the teaching period?
YES NO
Process ICPs on the existing faculty assignment
  • Create a new NTT assignment
  • Set assignment status to "Active - Payroll Eligible"
  • Set salary to zero
  • Process ICPs in the Compensation section
Step 2: Confirm Assignment Status. Is the faculty assignment status "Active - Payroll Eligible" during the summer term?
YES NO
Add one-time payments directly to the existing assignment Add a summer session assignment with zero salary, then configure the ICP in Compensation
Important Note: Faculty with multi-year appointments paid on a 9/9 schedule (9 months only) will maintain "Active - Payroll Eligible" status through summer and can receive ICPs. When configured as 9-month Faculty pay, the system automatically suspends regular monthly salary payments during summer months.
Step 3: Process Labor Distribution. After establishing ICPs, complete the labor distribution process.
Funding Coordination Recommended iO coding
Consult with your Dean's Office regarding appropriate funding sources for summer instructor payments. Summer instructor pay is no longer charged to a central summer sessions organization.
  • Classification: 161 (Summer Instruc - Credit College)
  • Program: 9153 (Supp - Summer Programs)
Managing Class Cancellations
Best Practice If classes don't meet enrolmment
Submit ICPs after classes meet minimum enrollment requirements to avoid overpayments
  • Delete ICPs immediately upon class cancellation
  • Department or HCM Initiator must monitor enrollment and manage ICP deletion
  • Early ICP setup is permitted but requires active monitoring
