HONORARIUM PAYMENTS

DOMESTIC

An honorarium is a payment for services that traditionally or legally do not require expenses reimbursed. Payment is limited to guest speakers and individuals offering non-commercial services that are not seeking compensation.

BEFORE EVENT: Complete the Honorarium Agreement  from the Office of the General Counsel. This form contains all necessary information for a future payment request to be processed.

AFTER EVENT: Submit the agreement along with the Voucher Check requisition and complete chartfield information to the Accounts Payable department.

Qualifications for an Honorarium payment:

• The service is provided on a one-time or highly infrequent basis
• The service provided has no tangible deliverable product, such as a report, an analysis, software code, or a process or assistance with a task (e.g. strategic planning process, meeting planning or facilitation, assistance with an executive search, market research assistance, etc.). Appropriate honorarium services are often event-related, such as a performance or speaking engagement
• Remuneration for such services is not the recipient's primary source of income
• Payment is considered to be a token of appreciation for a service provided, rather than fulfillment of an obligation.

If the service does not meet the above criteria, it must be processed as a Professional Services payment request.
