Definition of Assigned Obligation. The professional obligation of academic support professionals as described in their official job descriptions includes a diversity of duties and responsibilities. The assigned duties of an academic support professional shall be reflected in an annual work plan. Each academic support professional will receive a final work plan for the next year by June 1, effective on July 1. Each assigned duty in the work plan will receive a full-time effort (FTE) percentage value.
Definition of Assigned Obligation a. The assigned obligation of teaching faculty shall be 18-24 credit units for the academic year. For each additional month of appointment beyond nine months, the assigned obligation of teaching faculty shall be three credit units outside the academic year. Any additional credit units generated by this specific appointment (such as class size or laboratory component) will be compensated as overload. Any additional credit units not directly related to this specific appointment (such as a departmental summer school appointment) will be compensated in accordance with Article 29.7.
Definition of Assigned Obligation. The professional obligation of Academic Support Professionals (ASPs) as specified in their job descriptions includes a diversity of duties and responsibilities. At the inception of the employment relationship, each ASP shall be given a general job description which was the basis upon which the position was filled. Within 30 days of the appointment, each ASP will develop with her/his immediate supervisor a job description which more specifically reflects the job assignment for that individual. For ASPs, full-time effort shall be defined as a flexible work week averaging 37.5 hours per week over the ASP's period of appointment, as approved by the supervisor. When the work week exceeds 37.5 hours, “equal time” off shall be granted within a reasonable period of time and shall reflect the real time expended by the employee in preparation and performance of her/his duties. In positions where a traditional 37.5 work week is not reasonably consistent with program need, the supervisor, in consultation with employees of the unit, shall develop a Unit Workload Document (UWD) wherein the workload obligations of each position, throughout the year, are clearly stated, and provisions for the awarding of “equal time” off are made clear. Unit supervisors will forward the UWD with employee comments to the appropriate vice president who, after consultation with the Union Chapter President, will render a decision. Any 100 change in the UWD will be handled in the same way as “modification of a job description” (see Article 32.2.e.). In advising loads, any job description where advising/counseling or extensive student contact is established as a duty, the expected range of advisees / contact people for that work percentage shall be stated in the UWD. The assigned obligation of a part-time ASP shall be proportionate to her/ his appointment. In the case of permanent job reassignment, the ASP must be notified in writing at least two weeks in advance of the permanent reassignment.
