All employees must file a work schedule with the Office of the President and update the schedule annually or when changes necessitate (on a semester basis for faculty). The approved work schedule for faculty is in effect through the final faculty duty day of each semester. The President has the authority to determine work schedules and workdays for all employees (Board Policy 608.02, 04/13/2016). Full-time employees are expected to work five days per week, unless special approval is granted by the President, and must include a lunch period.
Full-time instructors, counselors, and librarians (Salary Schedule D): The normal work week of a full-time instructor, librarian, or counselor shall be a minimum of 35 clock hours, exclusive of lunch and other regularly scheduled breaks. This does not mean that each instructor is to be on duty seven hours per day, but it does mean that each instructor is to have a regular schedule of instruction, office hours, advising, planning, and institutional duties. Full-time instructors, librarians, and counselors employed on an academic year contract (fall and spring semesters) shall work the equivalent of 175 days or 1,225 hours. Full-time instructors, librarians, and counselors employed on a twelve-month contract shall work the equivalent of 229 days or 1,603 hours. Those employed full-time for the summer shall work the equivalent of 54 days or 378 hours (Chancellor’s Procedures for Policy 608.02, 04/13/2016). Faculty with overloads must account for the additional time on the submitted work schedule.
Adjunct faculty: Adjunct faculty work schedules are submitted each semester to the respective dean for review and then to the President for approval. Schedules must indicate classes and provisions for out-of-class assistance.
Full-time, non-instructional administrators and staff schedules (Salary Schedules B, C, and E): Full-time administrators and staff should include the normal work week of 40 hours exclusive of lunch on their work schedules. These employees can be required to work additional hours when needed. Days that the institution is officially open are duty days for full-time, non-instructional employees of each institution (Chancellor’s Procedures for Policy 608.02, 4/13/16).
