Summer Appointment Submission Instructions
Please see the Summer Instructions 2025 Presentation slide deck for an overview.
The sections below address the types of summer appointments, the documentation paperwork required, and links to other resources.
In general, summer term assignments are executed by submitting a PAW with the appropriate documentation as needed through the Summer Upload Submission Form. This form will route the submission through its approvals, University HR review, and finally, to payroll for processing.
A single submission can cover the entire summer but only for the same type of summer work. For example, one upload can cover all summer teaching assignments in a department, but any summer research work needs to be submitted on a separate form.

Summer Stipends - NEW Summer 2025
The summer form upload has a specific section for summer stipends which eliminates the need to include a PAW form. If you have a summer stipend to submit, please fill out the employee information as normal. The next section of the form includes the required information for the stipend. Please include the following information in the appropriate fields:
- Total Stipend Amount: This is a “flat rate amount”. This can include payments that are part of an agreement where the payment is a percentage of an employee’s base rate, a single month’s salary, for example. Specifically, these are non-FTE based payments.
- Stipend Duration: Include the start and end date which the payments should be paid out. Dates vary for stipends but typically match the term dates or use the first and last of the month with which they should be paid.
- Labor Distribution: Please include the index code for the stipend pay. There is a button to “add another item” which allows you to add multiple indexes, if needed.
Please attach any documentation regarding the stipend to the supplemental documents section. No PAW is required.
Summer Appointment PAW Instructions
Summer term assignments are unique due to the variable length of courses and how they are appointed for payroll. The summer term payroll dates span from June 16 to September 15, and pay dates must be within these dates. Any work overlapping into fall term must be paid as overload or on a separate assignment. In rare cases exceptions can be made, like international exchanges that require the summer appointment dates to match actual travel dates for insurance purposes.
Complete a PAW to cover the work and timeframe to be paid. DO NOT submit a PRF for summer pay.
The PAW can cover the entire summer term for the same summer appointment type in the same department. Reminder: do not combine summer teaching and research/admin on the same PAW. Submit each position on a separate form.
The following instructions walk through the PAW fields and how to complete the PAW for a summer assignment. Examples can be found on the Example PAWs page:
| PAW field | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Full name | Employee's first and last name |
| ID number | Employee's UO ID (95) number |
| Annual salary | Base rate for this summer term position. See Summer Appointment Types above. |
| Annual basis | 9 |
| Position | Position number. See Summer Appointment Types above. |
| Suffix | For a renewal, use the same suffix as in Banner. For the first appointment to a new position number, use 00. For a new appointment to the same position number in a new department, use 01, 02, etc. |
| Dates and index |
Use the Index lines to show the labor distribution and dates of the summer appointment. Examples: 6/16/xx to 7/15/xx, 7/16/xx to 8/15/xx, 6/16/xx to 9/15/xx, etc. Summer pay has a one-week minimum. If the duration of the appointment is shorter than than one week (for example, a weekend class) spread the pay over 1 week. |
