Provost Administrative Affairs provides budget and finance, human resource, technology, and capital project planning and support to the centers reporting to the Provost. The office assists departments with effectively stewarding their resources consistent with University policies and processes.
New Position, Existing Position, or Acting Rate Requests
If a department would like to add a new permanent position (full-time or part-time), fill an established position, or request an acting rate for a staff member, the request must be submitted through the New Position, Replacement, or Acting Rate Request Process. Please visit our Position and Compensation Requests page (PennKey Required) for details and to submit your request.
Additional Pay Requests
As of January 1, 2023, all Provost staff submitted a request for additional pay are required to have the Additional Comp Approval form completed in advance of agreeing to do any additional work. This completed form should be shared with the paying department so that they can attach it to their Workday request which routes to HR and then your budget team. If the form isn’t attached to the Workday request going forward we will have to return the request and ask that it be redone which could cause payment delays.
The form can be done in a way that it covers a period of time. This means it can be used more than once in a year if the description of additional work is done in a way that reflects the entire need versus each instance the work is being done.
Policy regarding Remote Work Expenditures
Purchasing Services has released the financial policy and guidance concerning Remote Work Expenditures with the purpose to ensure the appropriate stewardship of University funds as we support remote work. For the full policy, please see Financial Policy 2330.
In accordance with applicable law, the University is required to display official labor and employment posters detailing federal, local, and state labor laws.
Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) updated its website to include the new “Know Your Rights” poster, which replaces the previous “EEO is the Law” poster and “EEO is the Law” Supplement. The “Know Your Rights” poster summarizes the federal laws prohibiting job discrimination and explains how employees or applicants can file a complaint if they believe they have experienced discrimination.
