Request Form: Other Compensation & Stipend Request

Purpose: This form is used by School Directors and managers to formally request additional stipend compensation for team members taking on extra duties and hours that fall outside of the standard DSST Stipend Guidance. 

STEP 1: From your homepage, click on the Requests icon.

STEP 2: Then in the top left-hand box called "Actions" click on the gray button called "Create Request".

STEP 3: On the next screen ("Create Request" screen) in the drop down select "All" then the "Other Compensation Request" then click “OK” at the bottom of the screen.

STEP 4: On the next screen you will fill out the form providing as much detail as possible about your request.

Instructions: ALL  team member “Non-Standard” stipend requests, regardless of their scope, must be submitted via this channel. Stipends should only be requested if:

• Additional coverage or support is required and failing to provide it would constitute an organizational risk (ex: compliance work that cannot be deprioritized)
• Additional coverage or support is still required even after work loads have been re-distributed and projects have been prioritized.

Process:

1. After re-distributing duties and critically evaluating priorities to determine their urgency, identify what required work remains. 
2. Ensure that the requested stipend complies with the Stipend Guidance policy for additional duty and hour pay.
3. Identify which budget this stipend would be paid from and verify that sufficient funds are available
4. Seek approval from your Senior Leadership Team or Managing Director to submit a request for Other Compensation. 
5. Complete this form. 
6. Within 1 week, you will be notified whether or not the request has been approved.
7. All stipends require pre-emptive approval from the Human Capital and Finance team. Do not communicate any financial information to the team member until you have received this approval.

 

STEP 5: Hit Submit at the bottom of the screen. If you have questions or need additional support, please contact [e-mail].
