WTU Extra Duty Pay And Non-WTU Extra Duty Pay

Extra Duty Pay is provided only to ET 15- (including ET 15/12-month, ET 15/11-month, and ET 15/10-month) and EG 9-classified employees in WTU positions. No other employee of DCPS, or non-employee providing services for the benefit of DCPS, is eligible to receive ED. Usually, ED is authorized for services performed beyond the normal tour of duty. See more information on the types of stipends for SY20-21 at https://dcps.dc.gov/publication/additional-compensation-procedures.

The following activities are centrally budgeted:

  • Tech POC stipends
  • Athletic coaches
  • Home visits
  • Reading clinic (small set of teachers)
  • TLI stipends
  • We the Girls leads

A supervisor may appoint an employee in a non-WTU position and/or non-DCPS employee to provide Extra Duty type services. In cases where the employee is a non-WTU member, the compensation type is “Non-WTU Stipend” (NWS) pay. For example, NWS may be paid to an Administrative Officer serving as moderator for the Debate Team, or to an Instructional Aide serving as the Drama Club sponsor for her middle school. Like ED, NWS usually is authorized for services performed beyond the normal tour of duty. 

Any type of additional compensation, whether a WTU extra duty pay non “non-WTU Stipend” must be budgeted under “Extra-Duty Pay” in the QuickBase Budget Application. The budget line “Stipends” are only for non-DCPS employees. 

Difference between admin premium and additional compensation 

While administrative premium is an hourly compensation provided to WTU and CSO (per the new CBA) for specific activities hourly through timesheets, additional compensation is a lump sum of dollars provided to members for qualifying activities. It is typically paid out at the end of each semester or year depending on the job advertisement.  

How to Pay out the Additional Compensation 

Schools will fill out and submit the additional compensation form and submit to the special requests team. Schools will be required to submit supporting documentation as well including a description of the role, the advertised compensation, and a description of how it was advertised. The process of paying staff goes from the special request team to OPRS (Office of Payment and Retirement Services). 

Please reach out to your school finance specialist or dcps.schoolfunding@k12.dc.gov if you need the form.
