Submit Emolument Request

Overview
The Submit Emolument Request service supports Texas A&M University departments in initiating and managing one-time, non-salary compensation payments for employees. These payments—such as cash awards, gifts, relocation allowances, and reimbursements—are not part of regular wages or salary and are processed through Workday with applicable tax withholding. Requests are automatically routed to the HR Professional assigned to the employee for appropriate handling and compliance.
Use this service request to ask questions about:
  • Initiating Emolument Requests: Submit emolument requests to the appropriate HR Professional to process the request in Workday for items such as cash awards, gifts, relocation allowances, and reimbursements.
