PennWorks Launches New Release

March 24, 2011 :: Shirley Ross, Information Systems & Computing

The new online Additional Pay module is available in PennWorks. This release replaces and streamlines the long-standing paper-based Additional Pay process by allowing people who currently complete or sign these forms to submit, track, and approve Additional Pay requests electronically. Users can create additional pay requests for individuals or groups. Each School/Center is able to manage its own unique hierarchy of submitters and approvers prior to final approval from Human Resources or the Office of the Provost. It provides automatic routing through a multi-layer approval process. Additional Pay is the payment of money above and beyond an employee’s weekly/monthly paycheck, for example for work performed outside of or beyond usual job duties, unused vacation, or payment of permissible allowance expenses.
