Main UNLV Salary Change Process

Extra-Contractual Compensation (ECC)

ECCs are additional money that is paid to an employee (faculty) and is considered “extra-contractual” if it is paid for services rendered during the base salary period and meets the following standards:

  • The payment is in excess of the employee’s stipulated salary
  • The payment is paid in connection with approved “additional responsibilities/assignments;” and is paid from funds administered by the University
  • The payment does not exceed 25% of employees base salary

How Are ECCs Processed

Note: ECCs approved by the 10th of the month will be paid on the following paycheck. If ECCs are approved after the 10th, the employee may not receive them until the next pay cycle.

Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA)

COLAs are given at the discretion of the NSHE Board of Regents. If granted, the amount of COLA is also within their discretion.

Eligibility

All classified staff and most faculty/professional staff (except for postdoctoral and part-time employees) will receive COLA. Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV physicians are subject to terms and agreements of the Physician Compensation Plan.

Timekeeping and Payroll

If you encounter any issues with your pay, please submit an Other Services Request Form to the School of Medicine Human Resources Department and include all information and any supporting documentation regarding your missing or incorrect payslip. A School of Medicine Human Resources Representative will reach out to further your request.

Note: A manager justification is required for out-of-cycle pay.

Pay Dates

If you are a new employee, your hiring date will affect when you will start getting paid. It may be that you are not yet eligible for pay until the next payroll issue date.

Pay dates for current employees depend on their position type:

  • Classified, students and casual labor get paid on the 10th and 25th of each month. In the event the pay date falls on a weekend or holiday, the payday will be the last business day before.
  • Academic Faculty, Administrative Faculty, Graduate Assistants, Letter of Appointment, and Post-doctoral Scholars are paid on the 1st working day of the month. If the 1st falls on a weekend or a holiday, it will be paid the following business day.

Employees are now able to view and download electronic copies of their W-2s for 2018 and later in Workday at the end of January 2021.
