CREDIT HOUR PROGRAM Clause Samples
The "Credit Hour Program" clause defines the system by which educational credit is assigned to courses or programs based on the number of instructional hours provided. Typically, this clause outlines how many classroom or direct instruction hours equate to one credit hour, and may also address requirements for out-of-class student work. Its core function is to standardize the measurement of academic progress and workload, ensuring consistency and compliance with accreditation or regulatory standards.
CREDIT HOUR PROGRAM. Section 1. Credit hours means any hours, within a flexible work schedule, which are in excess of an employee's basic work requirement (the number of hours he is required to work or account for by leave or otherwise), and which the employee elects to work so as to vary the length of a workweek or a workday. Any work elected as credit-hour work shall first be confirmed by the supervisor.
Section 2. Credit hours are earned (worked) and charged in fifteen (15) minute increments.
Section 3. Credit hours are hours of work performed at the employee's election; they are distinguished from overtime and compensatory time off in that they do not constitute overtime work (that is, work in excess of eight [8] hours in a day or forty [40] hours in a week which is officially ordered in advance by Management). The employee receives no additional pay for credit hours and such hours are credited to his account for future use subject to the provisions of this Article.
Section 4. For each job, project, or task for which credit hours are desired, an employee must submit to his supervisor, in writing, the following information: (a) a description of the job, task, or project; (b) an estimate of the time required; and (c) the specific product(s) to be delivered.
Section 5. Use of credit hours is restricted to that which has already been earned in a previous workday or workweek. Employees may not "borrow" credit hours. Leave requests based on documented credit hours are made in the same manner as other categories of leave, i.e., the employee submits the request to his supervisor for approval.
Section 6. A full-time employee on a flexible schedule can accumulate not more than 24 credit hours, and a part-time employee can accumulate not more than one-fourth of the hours in such employee's bi-weekly basic work requirement, for carry-over from a bi-weekly pay period to a succeeding bi-weekly pay period for credit to the basic work requirement for such period.
Section 7. Credit hours shall not be used by an employee to create or increase his entitlement to overtime pay. An employee shall not be paid Sunday, holiday pay, or premium pay for night work for credit hours.
Section 8. Credit hours may be earned (worked) on a daily basis. A maximum of 24 credit hours may be carried over from one pay period to another. Hours in excess of the 24-hour maximum will be forfeited at the end of each pay period.
