The following are policies of this University to cover our commitments to programs abroad and to staff that are chosen for overseas assignments.

• Base salary for purpose of overseas assignment is the base University salary for a twelve-month period (or nine months salary adjusted on the basis of 12/9) prorated to the number of months on assignment.

• An augmentation to the base salary may be authorized because of the change of duties and responsibilities and to compensate for loss of consulting fees as well as overload teaching opportunities.

• An additional salary supplement of up to 15 percent is permitted for a change in duties associated with the position of chief overseas administrator of a project for the University.

• Allowances prescribed by the Department of State for hardship posts is permitted for Ohio University staff.

• Per diem, transportation and other travel expenses at rates prescribed by the agreement with the sponsor agency are permitted.

• Housing allowances, educational allowances and other personal and family allowances are allowable, consistent with the terms of the agreement with the sponsor agency.

• Benefits, including vacation time, sick leave, military leave, insurance and retirement, for staff members serving overseas will be calculated on the same basis as those for resident staff.

• Inclusion of overseas time toward sabbatical leave eligibility will be determined prior to taking an assignment.

Persons serving overseas shall have their performance valued in the same manner as on-campus personnel and shall be given the same considerations for salary adjustment, promotion and tenure.
