Common use of Voluntary Work Reduction Clause in Contracts

Voluntary Work Reduction. (a) A Full-Time Faculty Member may request a reduced load for any semester or academic or fiscal year. If the District agrees to such a reduced load, the agreement will be memorialized in writing between the District and the Faculty Member. The Faculty Member on reduced-load status shall be compensated on a pro rata basis for any period of such reduced load and the office-hour and days on campus obligation shall be reduced proportionately. A Faculty Member participating in a voluntary work reduction remains eligible for Winter/Summer session priority as provided in Article 9.

(c) If the Faculty Member’s reduced load is below fifty percent (50%) for reasons other than Family Medical Leave or paid leave of absences under Article 11 or Article 13 of this Document, the Faculty Member will assume all costs for insurance benefits (District and employee contributions) if he or she wishes to continue coverage. (d) The Faculty Member may elect, in writing, to cease coverage for medical, dental, vision, and insurance benefits, in lieu of making any required contribution.
