Any and all faculty members who are released from employment prior to the end of their current contract shall, in addition to payment of the remaining contractual salary as described in paragraph C above, continue to receive full health insurance and other benefits to which they would be otherwise entitled, through the end of the contract period. E. Based on the nature of the cause for reduction, the College will determine the number and types of faculty positions to be reduced. The number and types of positions may not be grieved. F. Once the number and types of positions to be reduced is determined, the College may transfer faculty between campuses or between departments to avoid releasing faculty from employment. G.

Once the last name on the list is reached the process will resume from the top of the list. If an employee is offered overtime for a scheduled project and declines to accept, the employee forfeits his/her turn in the rotation. That employee will not be offered overtime until the list has been completed and his/her name comes up again in order of seniority. 3.4.5 Notice of scheduled overtime, for situations that are recurring or have advance notice, and which are offered on a rotational basis shall be posted in the same area as all required employment notices and announcements and will remain up until the work has been completed.
