INTERSESSION ASSIGNMENTS, LOADS AND COMPENSATION

9.1  Department chairs, after taking into consideration the preference of tenured, probationary and hourly faculty members, shall recommend both partial and full assignments to the appropriate personnel administrator. The appropriate personnel administrator shall have final authority for such assignments including the times and dates on which the assignments are performed. The appropriate personnel administrator shall make a reasonable effort to confer with department chairs or their designated alternates if changes are to be made in courses to be taught, the times of those courses, or the schedule for non-teaching assignments.

9.2  For six-week day teaching assignments, a full weekly intersession load will be defined as 120% of the weekly standard loads described in Article 6, section 6.7.1. Exceptions to this rule are loads in Cosmetology and Respiratory Therapy where the summer load will be the same as in the regular semesters.

For non-teaching assignments, a full intersession load will be 180 hours performed on various schedules as provided in Article 9, section 9.1.

9.3  For teaching a regular six-week session, a percentage FTE will be computed by dividing the assigned hours per week by 120% of the regular semester standard load for the type of assignment involved. For non-teaching assignments, an FTE assignment is defined as the total hours assigned divided by 180.

9.4  Regular Contract Intersession

9.4.1 Unit members who are employed on a tenured or probationary, or long-term substitute status in the preceding semester and whose teaching assignment is longer than four weeks will receive intersession pay rates for up to 100% FTE per academic year. An "academic year" is defined as Summer Intersession through Spring Semester. Unit members who are employed on a tenured, probationary, or long-term substitute status in the preceding semester and who have non-teaching assignments will receive intersession pay rates for the FTE assignment which they perform not to exceed one (l) FTE.

9.4.2 All assignments not included in these provisions will be paid at hourly rate.

9.4.3 A faculty member shall not receive more than one (1.0) FTE during intersessions at contract rates per academic year.

9.5  Intersession Assignment Compensation

•  

    Pay = 15% x Annual Salary x FTE Assignment

  FTE Assignment = 15/18 = 83.33%
  FTE Assignment - (3 x 6.5)/21.6 = 90.28%
  FTE Assignment = 175/l80 = 97.22%
  •  

    100% x 15% x 43,056	=	$6,458.40
    66 hours x $28.93/hr	=	1,909.38 $8,367.78

  FTE Assignment is 100% for six weeks at contract rates.
  22 hours/week for three weeks at hourly rate

  9.5.5 Unit members employed to teach on an hourly basis in a six-week intersession shall be paid a minimum of one week's pay for a graded or Emeritus class that is cancelled after the class convenes.

9.5.1 For six-week intersessions, pay for both teaching and non-teaching assignments is computed as follows:

Assignments during intersessions exceeding one (1.0) FTE per academic year will be paid at hourly overload rates.

9.5.2 When a course is offered for a number of weeks different from six, the course will be scheduled as closely as possible (subject to classes beginning and ending on the five-minute clock intervals) to meet for the same total hours as in the six-week day version. The FTE assignment and therefore the compensation for these courses will be the same as if the course had been scheduled for six weeks.

9.5.3 Annual Salary is the amount determined by the faculty member's placement on the preceding semester's probationary and tenured faculty salary schedule after adjusting for any applicable step movement, and any contractual pay adjustments. Added responsibility increments are not included in the computation of intersession daily rates.

9.5.4 Examples:

(a)  A faculty member who teaches a l5-hour a week math class in a six-week session has a standard summer load 18 hours.

 

Total Compensation = 83.33% x 15% x 43,056 = $5,381.78

(b)  A faculty member teaches three piano classes of 6.5 hours/week in a six-week session. The standard summer load is 21.6 hours.

 

Total Compensation = 90.28% x 15% x 43,056 = $5,830.64

(c)  A librarian is assigned seven hours/day for five weeks. The standard summer load is 180 hours.

 

Total Compensation = 97.22% x 15% x 43,056 = $6,278.86

(d)  A Cosmetology teacher is assigned 22 hours a week for nine weeks. The standard load is 22 hours/week.

 

9.6  It is the right of the Association to call for a vote of the tenured and probationary faculty to cover six-week session earnings under Social Security. The District shall abide by the majority of such a vote.

9.7  The faculty member who performs the duties of department chair during the winter shall be compensated by an amount equal to 10% times the amount the chair earned as department chair of that department during the preceding fall semester, prorated to include two semesters. Half of this winter compensation will be paid by the District, and half will be paid from setting aside 5% of the chair's compensation during the fall and spring semesters of the current academic year.

  The faculty member who performs the duties of department chair during the summer shall be compensated by an amount equal to 15% times the amount the chair earned during the fall and spring semesters of the preceding academic year . Half of this summer compensation will be paid by the District and half will be paid from setting aside 7.5% of the chair's compensation during the preceding fall and spring semesters.
