Reminder: Annual Review and Renewal for Cell Phone/PDA Supplemental Compensation

Authorization for supplemental compensation must be reviewed and renewed annually (departments determine the 12 month period to use). All billings and documentation reviewed to determine eligibility must be retained by the department for audit and compliance purposes.

For those who qualify, the policy authorizes taxable supplemental compensation of:

• $130 per month (or $60.00 per pay period) for cell phones with data plans

Departments are responsible for ensuring that compensation amounts are correct (per pay period) and beginning/end dates are established in the payroll system. Please refer to the policy for eligibility requirements: http://www.policy.umn.edu/Policies/Finance/Procurement/CELLULARDEVICE.html

The annual renewal must be authorized by a Dean or VP or their designee. Please send documentation of eligibility to Stacy Bonn in Fiscal Administration. She will review the documents and obtain the necessary signature.
