Underload. The standard load of an instructional faculty member shall not be reduced without prior discussion with the individual faculty member involved; in all cases, the College shall make a good faith effort to provide a standard load for each faculty member. Except as provided in the preceding section, “Assigned Overload” and Article 12 of this Collective Bargaining Agreement, if the College is unable to assign a standard load to a faculty member during a specific term, the faculty member may request an alternate assignment to fulfill the standard load. The decision to offer an alternate assignment is solely at the discretion of the College.
Underload. A teaching faculty member who does not meet the minimum credit or contact hours as set forth in sub-division "A" and "B" above may be assigned with no extra compensation at the discretion of the President to teach evening courses that come within the normal workload requirements.
Underload. In the event a member’s full-time load for the academic year (summer, fall and spring) is less than 2.0 (100% base load each semester), it shall be adjusted within the same fiscal year in which the underload occurs through one of the following. Any method used to make load for the semester applies only to that semester. The process shall be followed in this order:
1. Add late start or early summer sections (ending prior to June 30), given adequate student demand and available funding;
2. Use banked leave hours to cover the deficit (See Article 10.2), with mutual agreement from the faculty member;
3. Completion of other activities which may be assigned by the immediate administrator in consultation with the Vice President. If reassignment activities fall outside of Instructional Faculty Duties (Article 4.1.3) than the assigned activities must be by mutual agreement and with YFA consultation;
4. Bump part-time faculty load (See Article 7.2.a);
5. Reassignment according to Article 13.3.2;
6. Retraining according to Article 21.
4.7.1 Bumping part-time faculty loads will occur if it is not feasible to add late start or early summer options, banked leave options are not mutually agreed upon, or it is not feasible to assign a special project to the faculty member.
4.7.2 In a timely manner after the start of each fall and spring semester, YFA shall be involved of the methods used to repair underloads of 10% or more for any faculty member. Doing so will keep YFA apprised of potential needs for reassignment or retraining.
4.7.3 If underload occurs two or more times in a two-year period, faculty shall discuss opportunities for reassignment, retraining or program viability with the immediate administrator, the appropriate Vice President, and the YFA.
Underload. 1. In the event that a professional employee's minimum thirty (30) credit hours per year load cannot be achieved due to an insufficient enrollment in that employee's courses the administration may in the following order:
a) Assign other duties which equate to a full workload, or
b) If the Professional Employee refuses or is unable to perform the assigned other duties, the college may reduce the employee's pay, pro rata.
Underload. As a temporary measure, if a faculty member is below the workload range, this underload may be made up as mutually agreed upon in ways such as, but not limited to, program development, continuing studies, community services, assistance to the Xxxx, research, counselling, special administrative duties, and extracurricular activities. Underload situations must be approved by the Xxxx and reviewed with the Vice President Academic.
Underload. Assignment priority is for use only in the development of the initial schedule for each semester.
A. When a regular faculty member with an overload assignment loses part of his/her regular load, the overload will become a part of his/her regular load due to class cancellation(s) or reductions in reassigned time assignment(s), the overload will become a part of his/her regular load for that semester. A full-time faculty member with an overload class that has been canceled cannot displace any faculty member from a class to retain that overload assignment.
B. When a regular faculty member loses part of his/her regular load due to class cancellation(s) or reductions in reassigned time assignment(s), the faculty member shall work with the xxxx to develop a load recovery plan using the “Underload Acknowledgement and Scheduling Agreement”
C. Any underload shall be made up within four (4) semesters from the time it is first incurred. Same-semester displacement of hourly instructors to restore underloads incurred by regular faculty shall be avoided when possible, but may be allowed at the request or consent of an under-loaded faculty member in the following circumstances: - Cumulative underload in excess of 20% may trigger the immediate displacement of an instructor with an hourly assignment (overload or adjunct) to limit the underload carried forward to 20% or less. The faculty member shall work with the xxxx to develop a load recovery plan using the “Underload Acknowledgement and Scheduling Agreement” form (See Appendix VII-B). - An instructor enrolled in the reduced workload program who incurs a cancelation may immediately be assigned to displace an instructor with an hourly assignment in order to maintain the minimum requirement of a 50% workload. - Any full-time instructor who incurs a class cancelation or a reduction to a reassigned-time position may choose to displace the instructor of an hourly assignment for that semester, and/or may carry up to 20% of the resulting underload forward to be made up within the following four semesters. Xxxxx shall work with faculty as early as possible, preferably at least four weeks prior to the start of the semester, to identify sections in jeopardy of cancellation and to begin to plan contingency assignments. Faculty members in danger of being displaced will also be given advance warning of that possibility at this time.
D. When a same-semester displacement is necessary in any of the cases defined above, potential assignm...
Underload. In the case of an underload, a full-time teaching faculty member may make up load hours through the assignment of additional non-instructional work during the Academic year to be pro-rated, in hours, equal to the amount of time for preparation and instruction in the amount of the underload, or the underload may be covered in an appropriate manner agreed upon by the President and/or designee, and faculty member.
Underload. In the event a member’s full-time load for the academic year (summer, fall and spring) is less than 2.0 (100% base load each semester), it shall be adjusted within the same academic year in which the underload occurs through one of the following: • Bumping adjunct faculty load (See Article 7.2.a) • Late start or early summer sections (beginning prior to June 30) may be added to meet faculty load; Completion of other activities which may be assigned by the immediate administrator in consultation with the Vice President and with mutual agreement from the faculty; • Use of banked leave hours to cover the deficit (See Article 10); • Reassignment according to Article 13; • Retraining according to Article 21.
4.6.1 If underload occurs for more than two consecutive semesters, faculty shall discuss opportunities for reassignment, retraining or program viability with the immediate administrator and the Vice President.
Underload. As a temporary measure, if an instructor is below the normal workload, this underload may be made up as mutually agreed upon in ways such as, but not limited to program development, continuing studies, community services, assistance to the xxxx, research, counselling, special administrative duties, and extracurricular activities. Underload situations must be reviewed by Xxxxx' Council and approved by the Vice President Academic. When evening and/or weekend classes are part of an instructor's load, every effort will be made to avoid early morning classes the following day. An instructor shall not be required to offer more than one full course during an evening or on Saturday without approval.
Underload. 1. Underload is defined as less than forty-three (43) ILCs during the work year.
2. No faculty member with a full-time contract (1.0 FTE) will receive less than the contracted salary for an underload, unless he/she refuses to teach a class which would bring him/her up to the basic contract workload. Faculty members whose loads would fall below forty-three (43) ILCs may be assigned special underload professional assignments by the Division Xxxx within their 174 day contract, in order to reach the expected forty- three (43) ILCs, unless the faculty member cannot qualify for special professional assignments. If no additional class is available or a special professional assignment cannot occur, the faulty member will not be required to take on an additional assignment or course the following year or during summer term.
