Using the Time Calculator

With prior approval, University employees who are required to complete Reports of Non-University Activities (RNUAs) may have outside employment. These individuals are required to report the time spent on the outside appointment in the past academic year (retrospective reporting) as well as to request time for the upcoming academic year (requesting prior approval).

To use the calculator to determine the time to report OR the time to request, you’ll need to input four values:

1. Your University appointment percentage

   If you do not know your appointment percentage, check your notice of appointment through NESSIE.

2. Your University appointment period

   If you do not know your appointment period, check your notice of appointment through NESSIE.

3. Your outside employment appointment percentage

   If you do not know the percentage and work at another institution, check with that institution.

   If you have other outside employment such as self-employment or freelance work, consulting for a company, working part-time in retail, or a start-up company, enter 100.

4. The number of days you work per week at the outside employment

   If the number of days per week varies, please make a good faith effort to estimate an average number of days per week during your University appointment period.

Once you’ve entered all four values, hit calculate.

The number of days to either report or request within STARTmyDisclosures will be displayed.

Examples

Start-up Company

Louisa is a faculty member with a 100% university appointment and an appointment period of 9 months. Louisa owns a start-up company and spends an average of 1.25 days per week at the company during her appointment period. This time is the same for both last year and this upcoming year.

To calculate the time she needs to report, Louisa will enter:
