Wages
Adjunct Faculty members shall be paid via direct deposit or pay card with payments spread over the length of the course. The number of installments will be based on the number of pay periods that occur over the length of the course; for 15-week courses, payments are ordinarily eight (8) or nine (9) installments over the Fall and Winter semesters and eight (8) for Spring/Summer.
Payments are made every other Friday except when a scheduled payday falls on a holiday. In these cases, the payment is ordinarily to be made available no later than the last day preceding the holiday. In instances of a course that does not last the entire semester period, the number of installments will be reduced to reflect the shorter schedule.
Pay rates are determined based on total equated hours completed through the most recent academic year (Fall, Winter, and Spring semesters). All tier and wage changes will be effective at the start of Fall semester. In the event an Adjunct Faculty fails to complete equated hours assigned during Spring semester, the College may adjust that Member's tier placement in accordance with equated hours actually completed.
