PROFESSIONAL OBLIGATION Clause Samples

PROFESSIONAL OBLIGATION. The primary duty of bargaining unit members is to discharge the duties and responsibilities set forth in their official job description in an effective manner and in the way that is conducive to carrying out the overall mission of the College. However, the College may in its discretion deploy any unit member to perform designated unit-covered duties and responsibilities not explicit in their current job description but for which they are reasonably qualified by having met the qualifications for their current position. This shall not be construed to impact the ability of a unit member to act in higher unit and/or non-unit capacities provided that the other contract provisions and past practices are observed, including the payment of additional compensation as negotiated at time of assignment.

Job Descriptions Non-teaching faculty will be provided with a job description for their position. Should the job description include the concept of other duties as assigned, such other duties shall be construed to mean only those other duties that are related to the job description. Excepting Librarians and such other classifications of employees as have heretofore been otherwise scheduled, the normal schedule for non-teaching faculty shall be on-campus availability Monday through Friday for seven (7) consecutive hours each day, exclusive of meal periods, unless on vacation (fiscal-year obligation only) as approved by the appropriate College Administrator.
