Assigned Overload. The workload of an instructional faculty member shall not be increased beyond the standard load without the express consent of the individual faculty member involved. On occasion, the assignment of a standard load unintentionally generates an overload called an assigned overload. An assigned overload is that portion of assigned work beyond the standard workload that is assigned to the faculty member in order to provide the standard load. The assigned overload shall be as small as is feasible. If an underload is created by the faculty member’s choosing not to accept an assigned overload, the immediate supervisor and the College shall make a good faith effort to minimize the impact on the faculty member by averaging loads between terms (Article 9.01.D.1) or, if requested, by providing alternative assignments when productive assignments are available. If the faculty member does not choose load averaging or an alternative assignment, said faculty member’s salary will be adjusted accordingly. The offering of an alternative assignment is at the sole discretion of the College.
Assigned Overload. Contact hours assigned in excess of fifteen (15) per semester or thirty
Assigned Overload. An assigned overload consists of contact hours assigned by management to a full-time faculty appointment in excess of the maximum contact hour range for the academic year (36). Upon verification of an overload status for the academic year, payment shall be rendered in accordance with the overload faculty pay schedule and will be paid during the spring semester of the designated academic year.
