Common use of Departmental Hours Clause in Contracts

Departmental Hours. Each ACF will be assigned three (3) additional departmental hours per week (each departmental hour is the equivalent of two clock hours) for departmental activities to include meetings with students and colleagues. These hours will be scheduled and posted, and the ACF will provide written notification of those hours to the department Chairperson. With the approval of their Chairperson, an ACF may choose to serve any portion of these hours in an alternative location, such as a tutoring lab. Departmental hours should correspond with learning activities. The canceling of posted departmental hours without taking leave time is permissible only if initiated or sanctioned by the College. ACF, who are late for scheduled hours, may make them up as outlined in Section 4.04 or must take leave for the time missed. Upon approval by the Chairperson, an ACF may use departmental hours to attend formally scheduled meetings that are not otherwise compensated or attend professional development activities during times that are outside of their posted departmental hours. The ACF may subtract those hours from their scheduled departmental hours for the week. ACF are required to give students notice of any cancelled office hours in these instances.
