Ohio University

Faculty Overloads

In accordance with Ohio University Faculty Handbook Section II.N, faculty cannot earn, from all sources connected with Ohio University, more than twenty-five percent (25%) beyond the salary amount specified for full-time service to the institution.

Compensation earned during periods when an individual is not under full-time contract, such during summer session teaching or during a summer research contract for faculty on 9-month contracts, is not considered overload compensation.

Information regarding how to process overloads at or under the 25% maximum, can be found on the Payroll website at: http://www.ohio.edu/finance/payroll/parttimeempinfo.cfm 

Overloads Exceeding 25% of Salary

Overloads exceeding the 25% maximum must have the prior approval of the department chairperson or school director, the college dean, and the office of the executive vice president and provost (EVPP).

These overloads cannot be submitted using Payroll's electronic system. Both an Overload Request Form and an Overload Appointment Form must be filled out, signed by the appropriate persons, and submitted to the EVPP office for review PRIOR to beginning overload work. (Links to these forms can be found below.)

Submit forms to the attention of: Anita Leach, 310 Cutler Hall. 

If time constraints prevent units from obtaining prior written approval from the EVPP Office, the unit representative should contact the office at 740-593-2600 to expedite the overload review process.
