Pay by Load system for CCSF part-timers - Nine equal paychecks each semester

Pay by Load system for CCSF part-timers - Nine equal paychecks each semester
Most part-time faculty at CCSF are paid according to their percentage of full-time load (FTE) assignment rather than on an hourly basis. This means that part-time assignments, with some exceptions, are paid in nine (9) equal paychecks totaling a semester’s pay. AFT sought this change to regularize pay for part-time faculty and to provide them with a salary for their professional work.
Not all hourly assignments have been converted to Pay by Load (PBL), although the goal at CCSF is to gradually do so. The following categories of hourly assignments will continue to be paid on an hourly basis:

1. From Table 1A below, locate your Pro-rata salary at your current Column and Step. CCSF prints your current Column and Semester Count on your paycheck advice. Use this to locate your correct Column/Step (Note: credit lab-performance .67 assignment, use Table 1B below.)
2. Divide Pro-rata Salary by 2
3. Multiply by the FTE (the percentage of a full-time load that you work) of the assignment = Semester’s Pay. (Your pay advice may show multiple PBL assignments. If so, add together the load values of all PBL assignments.)
4. Divide Semester Pay by 9 for your single paycheck amount.

Example 1: Biweekly pay for 6 hr/wk credit lecture assignment at Column F+30, Step 8

1. From the Prorata Salary Table, find $63,345
2. Divide by 2 = $31,672.50
3. 6 unit or hr/wk assignment div. by 15 units = 0.4FTE X $31,672.50 = $12,669
4. $12,669 div. by 9 = $1,407.67 per pay period

Example 2: Biweekly pay for 15 hr/wk noncredit assignment at Column F+45, Step 4

1. From the Prorata Salary Table, find $55,933
2. Divide by 2 = $27,966.50
3. 15 hr/wk assignment div. by 25 hrs/wk (FT load) = 0.6 FTE X $27,966.50 = $16,779.90
4. $16,779.90 div. by 9 = $1,864.43 per pay period

How to Check Your Full-time Regular Pay

1. From your pay advice, glean your current Column and Step, and find the corresponding biweekly pay amount at this Column and Step from Table 2 (the attached table of Biweekly Pay for Full-time Faculty Salaries. This amount should agree with the amount on your pay advice for regular pay.)
2. To compare this to your annual salary, divide your biweekly regular pay by 14. There are 14 days in each pay period. This gives you your “daily rate.” Multiply this daily rate times 365 to give you your annual salary. Compare this to the amount on the Full-time Salary Schedule at your Column/Step.

Convert Biweekly to Annual Pay, or Annual Pay to Biweekly Pay, as follows:

(Biweekly Pay Amt.) Divided By 14 = Daily Rate
(Daily Rate) X 365 = Annual Salary

Or

Annual Salary Divided By 365 = Daily Rate
Daily Rate X 14 = Biweekly Pay

How to check Full-time Extra-Pay (Overload) Assignments Now on Pay-by-Load (PBL)

Several years ago, AFT made it a priority to negotiate a “Pay-by-Load” (PBL) system in place of hourly pay at CCSF. Many colleges and universities pay salaries, rather than hourly pay,  to all faculty including non-tenured, contingent faculty, and faculty with extra-pay or overload assignments.  AFT sought this change so that part-timers would receive equal paychecks throughout the semester, rather than fluctuating pay per pay period depending on how many work days fell in each pay period. Part-timers also voiced interest in receiving a salary for their professional work rather than hourly pay in accord with the College’s intention to achieve equal pay for equal work.

The agreement at CCSF was to gradually convert all hourly, semester-long assignments to PBL. Effective Fall 2009, overload assignments have been converted to PBL.

At CCSF, PBL assignments are paid based on the annualized 86% pro-rata salary schedule, which mirrors Steps 1 through 3 of the Full-time Salary Schedule.  Therefore, the annualized 86% Pro-rata overload scale looks like this:

Since these salaries represent 86% pro-rata salaries at 100% FTE over one year, we must calculate the actual PBL as follows:

1. From the FT Overload – Annualized 86% Pro-rate Scale, find the pay amount at your current Column and Step based on  number of years completed at CCSF as a full-timer.
2. Compute semester pay by dividing annual pro-rated salary by 2.
3. Multiply load value (% FTE) of overload assignment X  semester pay.
4. Divide this figure by 9 =  biweekly pay

Example:  3 unit credit lecture course at Step F+30, Step 2:

$50,639           annualized salary from 86% pro-rata scale
$25,320           annualized salary divided by 2 = semester pay at 100% FTE
$5,064             times 20% (load value of OL assignment) = semester pay
$562                divide semester pay by 9 paychecks = pay per pay period

For Fall 2009, these (9) pay dates are: 9/1, 9/15, 9/29, 10/13, 10/27, 11/10, 11/24, 12/8, 12/22

For Spring 2010, these (9) pay dates are: 2/2, 2/16, 3/2, 3/16, 3/30, 4/13, 4/27, 5/11, 5/25
