Common use of Work Year Clause in Contracts

Work Year. 4.6.1 The work year for regular classroom faculty is the fall and spring academic semesters (164 days). Four (4) of those days are compensated flex days included in the academic calendar. These days are intended for professional development activities and are typically scheduled at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Attendance on convocation day is mandatory unless an absence, including professional development, has been pre-approved. Other opportunities for fulfilling the flex obligation include attending workshops coordinated by the flex committees at each college and/or participating in an individual professional development activity. 4.6.2 Management recognizes that over a two-year period the typical faculty load is sixty (60) formula hours and the non-credit faculty load is ninety (90) formula hours. However, in order to meet department or scheduling problems, the District reserves the right to make an assignment over that two-year period which could vary from sixty (60) – sixty-two (62) formula hours (credit) or ninety (90) – ninety-two (92) formula hours (non credit) as part of a unit member’s regular load. Faculty assigned in an instructional mode as defined in Section 4.1.1 shall be maintained at sixty (60) formula hours over the two-year period. At the end of the two-year period of load balancing, formula hours greater than sixty (60) (4 FTE) in the instructional mode (by an amount equivalent to or greater than .067 FTE or one (1) formula hour) shall be paid as overload (Schedule B). If the faculty member is below the sixty (60) formula hours for load balancing (by an amount equivalent to or greater than .067 FTE or one (1) formula hour), the faculty member may makeup the imbalance the following contract year by mutual agreement. Otherwise, money is owed to the District and must be repaid. In a given contract year, should the revenue per FTES for non-credit classes change more than ten percent (10%) in proportion to the change in the revenue per FTES for credit classes, then the work load for non-credit faculty will be adjusted. Job announcements will clearly state the right of the District to make non-credit assignments.
