This card provides instructions to part-time faculty and student workers.

"Period activity pay" is a type of compensation used to pay an individual a specific sum of money over a specific period of time for a prescribed activity. This type of pay is an alternative to hourly or salary compensation, and is largely used for part-time faculty and student workers. Additionally, anyone who is paid a stipend or lump sum in addition to their salary will see this amount in MyDay as activity pay.

Activity Pay Terminology

The below terminology is used in the MyDay Current Activity Pay chart:

  • Activity: The course type or additional duty type is listed here.
  • Activity End Date: The end date corresponds to the end date of the course or additional duty and the end date of the payment.
  • Activity Start Date: Corresponds to the course start date or additional duty and the beginning date of the payment.
  • Costing Overrides: This field is for internal purposes only and relates to where the monies are being budgeted.
  • Currency: The currency will always be US dollars (USD).
  • Payments: Number of payments that the scheduled amount will be paid in.
  • Period: Teaching semester (Fall, Spring, Summer).
  • Position: The position displayed will refer to your MyDay position.
  • Quantity: Derived from the unit and in many (but not all) cases is the number of hours taught.
  • Scheduled: The scheduled amount is the total amount of money to be paid for a given activity.
  • Task: If you are teaching a course, the course details are listed here.
  • Total Scheduled Amount: The sum total of all your current activity pay for the current period. Each period represents a teaching semester.
  • Unit: This is the measure by which your compensation is derived. For example, contact hours for courses, per meeting for meeting additional duties, etc.
  • Unit Rate: Relates to the unit and quantity, if the unit is contact hours it is the hourly rate.
