The President has the authority to determine work schedules and workdays for all employees (Board Policy 608.02, 04/13/2016). All employees must submit a work schedule to the President for approval, and update the schedule annually or when changes necessitate. Faculty should submit work schedules each semester, and staff should submit a work schedule at the beginning of the academic year and or upon hire. Faculty schedules are in effect through the final faculty duty day of each semester.
Full-time employees are expected to work five days per week, unless special approval is granted by the President, and all schedules must include a lunch period during typical, normal lunch hours.
Full-time instructors, counselors, and librarians (Salary Schedule D):The normal work week of a full-time academic or technical instructor, librarian, or counselor shall be a minimum of 35 clock hours while the work week of adult education instructors should be a minimum of 40 clock hours, both exclusive of lunch and other regularly scheduled breaks. This does not mean that each instructor is to be on duty an equal amount of 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 appointment (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 appointment 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; also H): 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 by their supervisor and/or the President 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).
Part-Time Staff: Part-Time staff work schedules are submitted annually and cannot exceed the number of hours approved for work by the President as indicated on the letter of appointment.
