Policy Statement

The State University of new York Board of Trustees has established an Extra Service Policy, which is applicable to performance of service beyond that normally required by the professional obligation as defined by the individual’s performance program. That policy can be found at:
https://www.suny.edu/sunypp/documents.cfm?doc_id=419

Extra Service should only be used for an employee when the work to be performed by the employee is:

1. Performed entirely outside an employee’s normal work day/shift, and
2. Substantially different from an individual’s professional work obligation as defined by the employee’s performance program, and
3. Must not interfere with the employee’s regular responsibilities and
4. Must not be performed during a period of time being charged to leave accruals and
5. Must not be performed during the employee’s scheduled lunch break.

SUNY Policy states that compensation for Extra Service is not to exceed an amount equal to twenty (20) percent of an employee’s base annual salary in a fiscal (calendar) year beginning July 1 or academic year beginning September 1, as appropriate.

The procedure outlined below must be followed in its entirety in order for employees to be paid for extra service performed.

Procedures

All requests for Extra Service (ES) compensation must include the following documentation:

• UP-6 Form – Request for Approval of Extra Service for Management Confidential Employees MC (Negotiating Unit 13); Initiated by the employee.
  o Form can be found on the Human Resources webpage https://aries.farmingdale.edu/human-resources/forms-general-info.shtml
  
  
• UP-8 Form – Request for Approval of Extra Service for SUNY Professional Service Unit Employees UUP (Negotiating Unit 08); Initiated by the Employee.
• Adjunct Appointment Notice with UP8 form; Initiated by the department.
  
  • Forms should be completed in Interview Exchange
    https://www.interviewexchange.com/login.jsp

Requests for extra service compensation should be initiated by the requesting department at least four (4) weeks prior to the performance of Extra Service. However, it is recognized that it is not always possible to submit the Extra Service request within the four-week timeframe. In emergent situations, where an employee is required to begin an Extra Service assignment sooner, the department should speak to Human Resources to expedite the approval process.
