Adjunct Employees Clause Samples
The Adjunct Employees clause defines the status, rights, and responsibilities of employees who are hired on a part-time or temporary basis, rather than as full-time staff. Typically, this clause outlines the terms of employment for adjuncts, such as their teaching loads, compensation, eligibility for benefits, and duration of appointment. For example, it may specify that adjuncts are contracted per semester and are not entitled to health insurance or retirement benefits. The core function of this clause is to clearly distinguish adjunct employees from regular staff, ensuring both parties understand the scope and limitations of adjunct employment and reducing the risk of misunderstandings or disputes regarding employment terms.

10.2.2.1 The District shall allow adjuncts to use their accumulated adjunct personal illness or injury leave without actually teaching the class if all of the following conditions exist:
1. The adjunct unit member must in fact be sick or ill and the District may confirm this fact by having the unit member examined by a physician of its choice and the leave will be granted only if the District’s physician verified the illness.
2. The adjunct unit member’s entitlement to such leave is limited to one term.
3. The unit member must have reemployment preference in the discipline for which leave is sought.
4. The adjunct faculty member shall be a faculty member in good standing at the college with satisfactory evaluations.
5. The adjunct faculty member shall submit his/her request for leave in writing on a form satisfactory to the District as soon as he/she is aware of the fact that he/she will require time off.
