Summary :
how TAs and RAs are paid at Tufts University
Response
Primary Information
All Teaching Assistants and Research Assistants are payroll positions because they perform a service to the university. These students, coded in payroll as 'contract students', are paid semi-monthly. They are not required to report hours to payroll.
TAs and RAs are paid differently than if someone was being paid via a scholarship, which some term stipend. These stipends are paid via Accounts Payable on a check voucher form. A non-payroll stipend is generally described as an allowance for payment to an individual for their attendance or participation in a program or study. |
