What is a honorarium? A nominal, non-negotiated payment granted to an individual in recognition of a special service or distinguished achievement for which propriety precludes setting a fixed price. There is no set honorarium amount for giving a lecture or series of lectures, or performing a similar service.
Generally, honoraria are nominal, non-negotiated payments made to individuals of scholarly or professional standing in conjunction with a programmatic activity benefitting the UC ANR mission.
1. Examples of activities for which an honorarium may be issued include but are not limited to:
a. Providing a special lecture or short series of lectures of an academic nature.
b. Participation in a seminar or workshop (of no more than two week’s duration)
as a speaker, panelist, or as a member of a volunteer board or committee.
c. A speaking engagement.
d. Appraisal of a manuscript or an article submitted to a professional publication.
Examples of services which may not be compensated with honoraria include UC Extension teaching, translating, editing, graphic art development, and any other service which is provided for in a UC job description
UC Academics can only get an honorarium, not a contract. However, non-UC people can get either a honorarium (flat, non-negotiated payment in appreciation) or a contract. For contracts see below:
