How are performance bonuses funded?

Performance bonuses may be funded from any source, including state or non-state funds , so long as the funding source permits an expenditure for this purpose. For state funds, such use must be permissible under the policies of the Office of State Budget and Management. 

The University will annually determine pools of available central funding for EHRA faculty and EHRA non-faculty performance bonuses. A performance bonus awarded in a single fiscal year may not exceed the thresholds established in UNC Board of Governors Regulation 300.2.14.2[R].  Recommended performance bonus amounts are subject to funding availability.
