Annual Reporting of Extra income in Excess of $500 Due Jan. 31

All full-time salaried employees on 9-month or 12-month regular appointments are required to disclose extra income earned in excess of $500 from any single public agency source in Arkansas — including the University of Arkansas — during 2025 by Jan. 31, 2026. Graduate assistants, less than full-time faculty or staff, and hourly employees are not required to complete this reporting.

Extra income includes wages, salaries, fees or payments for professional or consulting services rendered to any public agency in Arkansas other than the salary received from the University of Arkansas on a regular basis. Examples of extra income include payment for adjunct teaching at another campus or services rendered to another state agency in Arkansas. Work performed for public agencies outside of Arkansas does not need to be reported for this disclosure process. Employees should review the appendix to Fayetteville Policies and Procedures 421.0 for examples related to this reporting requirement.

Each individual public agency source exceeding $500 must be reported. If the cumulative total from all public agency sources exceeds $500 but no single source exceeds $500, disclosure is not required.
