Before you request a one-time supplemental payment, review the guidelines and key considerations outlined by MIT Human Resources (HR). Reasons for one-time payments range from interpreting and tutoring services to honoraria and department awards. You’ll find a complete list on the Supplement form on Atlas. When you log in, click on “Full Catalog” in the left-hand menu and type “Supplement” into the search box.
Check the guidelines and consult with your Human Resources Officer as needed to confirm compliance before proceeding.
You may exercise some discretion in determining the amount of a one-time supplemental payment depending on the complexity and length of the assignment. Consult with your Human Resources Officer for details.
When you are ready to submit a formal request for a one-time payment, be sure to identify the applicable cost object(s) and recipient’s MIT ID (if that individual is not within your area of responsibility). You’ll find the “Supplement” form in the “HR Transactions” section of the “Employees” tab of Atlas. Before you begin, you may want to refer to the HR Transactions Quick Reference for detailed instructions on completing the form.
See the HR/Payroll Cutoff Schedule in the related links below for deadlines.
When you submit the online supplemental payment form, the system automatically routes it for approval. Following approval, the supplemental amount will be added to the recipient’s regular weekly or semimonthly direct deposit payroll payment.
Under exceptional circumstances—such as a payment to a terminated employee—you can ask VPF’s Payroll Service Center to issue a paper check.
