administration of the school. Generally,
Instructional Chairs serve over a department, grade level or content area.
How
many emoluments can an employee have?

and one Instructional Chair or one High School Teacher Coordinator.
Which activities count
toward the two emolument limit?

Instructional Chair or High School Teacher Coordinator counts toward the two
emolument limit.
Is
a “Team Lead” the same as an Instructional Chair?
If the Team Lead is acting in the same
capacity as an Instructional Chair (see definition above), then it would be
considered an Instructional Chair and should be submitted as an Instructional
Chair.
How
do I determine if an activity is an Enrichment or Service Activity?
Principals and/or emolument designees
will need to determine the appropriate classification for an activity/assignment
based upon the definitions provided above and how the activity/assignment will
be implemented within their school.
What
do I do with emoluments that have the same title?
There should only be one emolument per
activity. If there are similar
activities, make sure that each title is specific so that we can tell the
difference in each. For example, 1st
grade homework club and 2nd grade homework club.
Can
I assign an employee to only 50% of an activity?
An emolument can be assigned to one
educator at 100% or split between two educators at 50% each.

emolument assignments be completed during the school day?
The assignment must be no less than 40
hours in addition to the normal 7.5 hour work day and is in addition to the
standard teaching load.

Evaluation Liaison and Engagement and Technology Lead assignments.
What
do we do if an employee is on a leave of absence and unable to sign the
Appointment and Authorization Form?
Signed Appointment and Authorization
Forms are required for all emoluments entered in Oracle; therefore, the

the Appointment and Authorization Form.
How
do I make changes?
To make changes prior to the final

and Authorization Form to comp.emol@pgcps.org along with a brief explanation. To make changes after the final approval
process, complete a new Appointment and Authorization Form and an Emolument
Adjustment Form, along with a brief explanation and submit to comp.emol@pgcps.org.

each year, but is typically at the end of March. The exact date can be found in the bulletin. Any corrections should be submitted no later
than June 30 each year.
