Common use of ACCESS TO ADDITIONAL WORK FOR PART-TIME FACULTY Clause in Contracts

ACCESS TO ADDITIONAL WORK FOR PART-TIME FACULTY. (a) When additional non-regular work becomes available within a discipline/program, it shall be offered by the administrator responsible to qualified part-time regular faculty in the discipline/program who want additional work. If additional non- regular work remains within a discipline/program, the administrator responsible will then offer this work to qualified part-time NR2 faculty in the discipline/program who want additional work. This only applies for access to work up to 100%. (i) Where additional work is assigned to part-time regular faculty members after the beginning of their appointment year, that faculty member’s designated workload percentage shall be retroactively adjusted to the beginning of the appointment year. The benefits payment portion made by the faculty member shall be retroactively adjusted proportionally. (ii) Where additional work is assigned to part-time NR2 faculty members after the beginning of their appointment year, Article 1.05(d)(iii) will apply. (b) The determination of whether a faculty member is qualified will be made by the relevant Search Committee at the time of initial hire or subsequent review. Part- time faculty who want to be considered qualified for work for which they have not previously been vetted, must apply to the appropriate Search Committee. (c) Notwithstanding this allocation of additional non-regular work to part-time regular or NR2 faculty, the employer has the right to declare that a full-time or part-time position vacancy exists and to initiate the Search process.
