Part-time Faculty Salary Schedule:
Fall 2020 is the first year that the new universal part-time faculty salary schedule has been used. It is directly tied to the full-time faculty schedule with every cell exactly 85% of what a full-time faculty member with those credentials and experience would earn for 1.0 Lecture Hour Equivalent (LHE). The other 15% of a full-time faculty member's salary is for other departmental and college related duties, beyond either their classes or non-instructional assignments, that are not required of part-time faculty members.
Faculty with Load Factor 1.0 instructional assignments
Faculty with Load Factor 1.0 instructional assignments
If you've always only been teaching "load factor 1.0" classes, and are still only teaching load factor 1.0 classes, you will see no change to your pay at all. "Load factor 1.0" classes are generally classes that were at some time in the past judged to be more traditionally "academic" areas of study or to require more time outside of class to prepare, hold office hours, and assess student progress. Examples of these subjects are anthropology, business, economics, English, languages, sciences and social sciences. If you are uncertain of the load factor of your course, you can look up your course in Appendix H to see its load factor and its maximum seat cap.
The new Salary Schedule B-1 is identical to the old Salary Schedule B-2 which was used to pay for all load factor 1.0 assignments in the past, so your pay and what you see on your pay stub should not change.

General salary information:
It doesn't matter what your specific assignment is. Once you know your current Step and Group and the total LHE of your assignment for the semester, you simply multiply the amount in your cell on Salary Schedule B-1 by the total LHE of your assignment and you will know what your total pay is for the semester. To find your Step and Group, log into mProfessor and click on the "View Teaching/ Banked hours reports" link. Here you should see your Salary Type, Salary Step and Salary Group. The data will look something like:
Salary Type 88 was the old Load Factor 1.0 salary schedule, but the new version (identical to the old one) is now called Salary Type 89. It is just another name for our contract's Salary Schedule B-1. Below is the start of Salary Schedule B-1:
Example 1
Example 1
If you are in Group 3, Step 2, and have an assignment for Fall of 3.0 LHE (= 20% of a full-time assignment), your total pay for Fall will be 3.0 * $1,789 = $5,367.
Example 2
Example 2
If you are in Group 7, Step 4, and have the maximum possible part-time assignment of 10 LHE (= 67% of a full-time assignment), your total pay will be 10 * $2,302 = $23,020.
This calculation holds true regardless of your actual assignment.
Pay Stub Information
Pay Stub Information
The UNITS listed on a pay stub do not represent hours worked, but are the number of weeks in the pay cycle times the LHE of the assignment, as long as the assignment is for 18 weeks.
The first two pays of a semester (Fall: September, October; Spring: March, April) are for 4 weeks of pay, and the last two pays (Fall: November, December; Spring: May, June) are for 5 weeks of pay. Again, note that if your assignments are not spread over 18 weeks, the UNITS will be split out differently over the semester, but your total pay for the whole semester is still determined by the total LHE of the assignment.
The RATE that is listed on your pay stub is not a true "hourly" rate. It is equal to the amount in your cell of B-1, divided by 18 weeks, so it is more accurately your weekly pay per LHE.
Example 1
Example 1
If you are in Group 3, Step 2, your "per LHE" cell amount in B-1 is $1,719, so $1,719 divided by 18 weeks gives you the RATE of $95.50, which is your the weekly pay per LHE.
Example 2
Example 2
If you are in Group 7, Step 4, your "per LHE" cell amount in B-1 is $2,302, so $2,302 divided by 18 weeks gives you the RATE of $127.89, which is your the weekly pay per LHE.
Your pay is for all the duties related to your assignment: all the instructional hours, grading, course preparation, and office hours. It is not appropriate to say what the "hourly pay rate" will be for that course because the many hours spent outside of classroom on that assignment are not well defined. Instead, it is more accurate to say that you are being paid a salary to complete a task, independent of the hours it takes you. That's how full-time faculty are treated, and that's how part-time faculty should be treated as well.
