Description
Payments pursuant to staff exceptional performance programs, faculty post-tenure awards, and P&S Contract appointment bonuses should be processed using the Bonus Pay (BNP) PAF. Bonus Pay Change (BNP-CHG) PAF are to be used when the pay or labor distribution of the original BNP PAF needs to be corrected. For award programs where an employee has been nominated and selected to receive an award that includes a monetary payment such as various faculty teaching and research award programs, Beverly Funk Barnes awards, and Regents Staff Excellence awards, an Award (AWD) PAF is to be used.
