Formula Hours. 4.2.1 Unit member workloads shall be computed in formula hours.
4.2.2 A formula hour shall be defined as any one of the following:
4.2.2.1 For Lecture/Discussion mode, every eighteen (18) catalog hours assigned in a semester equals one (1) formula hour. The calculation is catalog hours divided by eighteen (18) equals formula hours.
4.2.2.2 For Lab/Shop/Clinic Mode, every twenty-four (24) catalog hours assigned in a semester equals one (1) formula hour. The calculation is catalog hours divided by eighteen (18) multiplied by .75 equals formula hours.
4.2.2.3 Typically, eighteen (18) catalog hours will equate to one (1) unit of lecture/discussion and fifty-four (54) catalog hours will equate to one (1) unit of lab/shop/clinic. However, the actual hours specified by the catalog must be used in determining an assigned course’s formula hour value. Lecture / Discussion Lab / Shop / Clinic Catalog Hours Formula Hours Catalog Hours Formula Hours 18 1.00 24 1.00 36 2.00 54 2.25 54 3.00 108 4.50 72 4.00 162 6.75
Formula Hours. The appropriate Vice President or designee shall determine the class or service assignment and load for each faculty member. Workloads shall be computed in formula hours as set forth in this section.
Formula Hours. 4.2.1 Unit member workloads shall be computed in formula hours.
4.2.2 A formula hour shall be defined as any one of the following:
4.2.2.1 Fifty (50) clock minutes of the Lecture/Discussion Mode of Instruction per week, per semester.
4.2.2.2 Seventy-five (75) clock minutes of the Lab/Shop/Clinic Mode of Instruction per week, per semester.
4.2.2.3 One hundred and forty (140) clock minutes of the Other Modes of Instruction per week, per semester equivalent. (e.g., 140 (min) x 3 (fh) = 420. 420/60 = 7 hour work day for a full-time assignment.)
4.2.2.4 One hundred and sixty (160) clock minutes of all Facilitative Modes of Instruction per week, per semester equivalent. (e.g., 160 (min) x 3 (fh) = 480. 480/60 = 8 hour work day for a full-time assignment.)
4.2.3 At the district level, a Workload Study Committee shall be jointly convened by the District and LRCFT to address workload issues of unit members.
4.2.3.1 The committee shall be comprised of equal numbers of unit members and District representatives.
4.2.3.2 The committee is charged with the clarification of the workload issues assigned to it jointly by the District and LRCFT. This shall be accomplished by defining each issue, listing the interests of all affected parties, and identifying reasonable options to meet those interests and resolve the issues.
4.2.3.2.1 The committee may create subcommittees, comprised of equal numbers of unit members and District representatives, to include members more knowledgeable of particular assigned workload issues and may delegate its charges to such subcommittees.
4.2.3.3 The committee shall report its findings by May 1st of each year or the timeline established by the committee.

4.2.3.3 The Workload Study Committee (4.2.3) shall convene after complete implementation of the .75 lecture equivalency to determine the extent and scope of any additional workload changes such as lab/shop/clinic mode classes and situations where external standards are imposed.
4.2.3.4 The committee shall report its findings by May 1st of each year or the timeline established by the committee.
