Compensation Forms and Documents

Additional Compensation

Effective September 1, 2021, requests for additional compensation as described in HOP policy 03-401 will be submitted on an electronic business form located in TeamDynamix (ITS Client Portal home page under Services). This form replaces five paper/PDF forms (Authorization for Additional Compensation Services, Authorization for Additional Compensation Payment, Stipend Authorization Form, EPAF Origination Request, and Additional Compensation Eligibility Verification Form for grant-funded requests).

The additional compensation form in TeamDynamix is used to request all three types of additional compensation – additional services, stipends, and salary supplements. The form can be submitted by the employee or by another employee on the employee’s behalf (such as the department paying the additional compensation). The same information is collected on the electronic form as on the paper form, including the various levels of approvers. Once the request form is submitted, Human Resources will enter a one-time EPAF that will be routed to those approvers for electronic signature.  Employees will be paid once the EPAF is applied as part of regular payroll.

There is a presentation and recording of a training session about the new form and process. This infographic provides an overview of additional compensation. If you have questions, please contact hrcompensation@sfasu.edu (additional services and stipends) or hr-epaf@sfasu.edu (salary supplements). Thank you to Brandon Stringfield in ITS for partnering with the Human Resources team to create the form and automated process.

Telecommuting

In conjunction with the revision to HOP policy 03-217 in July 2020 and July 2021, the Staff Telecommuting Request is now an electronic document. Use your mySFA credentials to access the request form.

This process allows for:

  • the employee (or their supervisor on their behalf) to submit the request;
  • the ability to request telecommuting as a workplace accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended (ADAAA) (HOP policy 03-307);
  • references and links to relevant policies and forms (HOP policy 05-306) to be embedded in the form and email communication;
  • electronic routing through the approval workflow;
  • email communication to the employee as their request is submitted and moves through the approval workflow; and
  • the employee to see the submitted request status, resubmit a disapproved request, and amend an approved request.

Review the manager's telecommuting guide if you have staff reporting to you.  (Faculty with staff reporting to them will be able to approve and submit forms on behalf of their staff.)

Note: Staff needing to work remotely for 5 consecutive business days or less may get verbal or written approval from their department head to do so without having to complete the electronic telecommuting request.

Faculty will contact the provost’s office regarding requests to telecommute.

Thanks to Rich Barnhart in ITS for partnering with the Human Resources team. This process has been a model for automating other manually routed forms.
