• Honorarium Authorization Form (SF-2002-01 Approved 10/31/01)

  Occasionally, the University invites selected and esteemed professionals to campus to speak at short term special events without performing any type of service to the University other than to speak.  These situations are best termed as “honoraria events”, where the professional accepts an agreed gift or reward payment for his or her attendance and presentation.

  This does not apply to a lecturer for a class or course, who has a more long term relationship with the University and is required to perform additional services as a condition to receiving compensation.       

  Generally speaking, an honorarium is defined as:

  “…a voluntary reward for that for which no remuneration could be collected by law…that is freely given without any legal liability existing to necessitate such payment.”

  True honoraria events do not need to be documented by contract, but will need to be authorized by having the speaker and a UHD representative complete an Honorarium Authorization Form (including the Nonresident Alien Information form if applicable) prior to the event. (OGC-SF-2002-1 Approved 10/31/01)
