Common use of COUNSELING ASSIGNMENTS OUTSIDE REGULAR 175 DAYS Clause in Contracts

COUNSELING ASSIGNMENTS OUTSIDE REGULAR 175 DAYS. The District and the counseling staff recognize that the dates needed for counseling services differ from the regular 175 day academic calendar and are essential to fulfilling the needs of students in the District. For that reason, faculty whose primary responsibility is counseling and whose annual teaching schedule allows for blocks of five (5) or more exchange working days within the academic year may be involuntarily assigned up to ten (10) working days of counseling duties different from the regular 175 day academic calendar, during semester breaks and/or Summer session. Involuntary assignments will only occur if there are not sufficient numbers of suitable volunteers. 7.12.1 Whenever possible, voluntary assignments will be arranged in preference to involuntary assignments. It may not be that every counselor will be assigned by their administrator to work a full ten (10) days outside of the 175-day calendar because of the need for particular expertise or specialized program knowledge. 7.12.2 The days of counseling duties different from the regular 175 day academic calendar will be scheduled on consecutive blocks of working days (for example, five consecutive working days at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semester), unless an exception is mutually agreed upon. For purposes of this section, Fridays during Summer session are not considered workdays. Normally, each day will consist of six hours total. However, upon mutual agreement between the counselor and supervisor, the total hours per day may be increased or decreased and the number of days worked outside the 175-day academic calendar may be increased beyond the ten (10). 7.12.3 Those counselors who are assigned up to ten (10) days per year to work outside the 175 day academic calendar will receive exchange time during the 175 day academic calendar. “Exchange time” means that an equivalent amount of time may be taken off with full pay. The exchange days may be taken on consecutive days unless an exception is mutually agreed upon. The regular ten- month or twelve-month payment schedule for an employee’s full-time salary will not be altered by any change of work schedule arranged as a result of this agreement.
