Part-Time Faculty Paid Office Hours
CBA Language (Article 10, Section 9): Part-time instructional faculty who choose to offer office hours shall submit to the Dean/Associate Dean/Director a schedule of office hours prior to the start of the semester and shall maintain their office time schedule on campus, or at a designated workplace that is mutually agreeable to the part-time faculty member and the Dean/Associate Dean/Director. Approved office hours shall be included on the syllabus. Part-time faculty office hours shall be compensated at the rate of one (1) hour for each 20% of lecture load or equivalent rounded down to the nearest whole hour, up to a maximum of three (3) paid office hours per week. Office hours shall be payable at the Appendix D-1, Lecture, Step 1 rate.
A part-time faculty member may:
Choose to hold office hours and be paid hourly at the Appendix D-1, Lecture, Step 1 rate according to the hours outlined in the chart below.
Choose to hold more office hours than listed on the chart, but only be paid for the maximum hours on the chart.
Choose to hold fewer than the maximum hours and be paid for those hours.
Choose to hold no office hours.
Maximum Paid Office Hours Based on Load
Section Units
Maximum Paid Office Hours per Week (16-week classes)
Maximum Paid Office Hours per Week (8-week classes)
Lecture or Lab-Lecture with parity
Samples: If you are teaching two 3-unit 16-week sections and one 3-unit 2nd 8-week section, you may offer 2 paid office hours for the first 8 weeks and a combined total of 4 office hours for the second 8 weeks. Labs without parity can be combined with lecture or labs with parity, or both, to hit the 20% load and be eligible for paid office hours.
To be paid for the office hours, a PT faculty member must:
Email their office hours (days and times) and location to their Dean/Associate Dean/Director before the start of the semester. If their class begins after the start the semester (a second 8 week class for example), email their office hours and location to their Dean/Associate/Director before the class begins.
Include their office hours and location in their syllabus (reminder: syllabi are due by end of second week of classes).
Office hours location/modality can reflect the modality of their course and labs.
PT faculty teaching dual-enrollment classes follow the above guidelines.
For OH Submission and Payment: The District will provide a formstack to PT faculty around week 8 and weeks 15/16 to submit approved office hours for payment. You can use one or both of these windows to submit your hours. Be sure to monitor your paystubs for payment (look for a “REG” code and the appropriate units/hourly rate on the paystub) and your bank statement for deposits.
