Honorariums

An Honorarium is a payment given for services when the payment of fees is not legally or traditionally required. Payment is limited to guest speakers and other official guests of the University. It may not be used to pay professional services.

When an honorarium is paid, the lump sum payment includes all travel expenses and fees. No additional requests for reimbursement of travel expenses can be submitted. If the guest is to receive payment at the completion of his or her visit to Auburn University, they must register at the AU Vendor Center. The department must submit Travel Expense Voucher - BO 55-05 to Procurement and Payment Services in sufficient time for a check to be prepared.

The travel voucher should include the following:

  • The guest's name

  • The guest's vendor number

  • The guest's title or position

  • The purpose of the visit

  • The date of the visit

  • The amount of the honorarium

  • Mailing address

  • A copy of any agreements or correspondence with the visitor which confirm this information.

The voucher must be approved by the appropriate Dean.

Send these materials to Procurement and Payment Services. At the end of the calendar year, Procurement and Payment Services will provide the visitor with an IRS Form 1099 (Other Income Statement).
