Common use of Base Contract Year Clause in Contracts

Base Contract Year. The Base Contract Year is defined in Article I. At least two (2) days will be set aside for Professional Employee development. Professional Employee development days shall be included on the calendar, if possible. The calendar shall include between twenty-five (25) and thirty-five (35) days of holidays/breaks, with the actual dates to be determined by the College Calendar Committee. GC3 Educators or designated Professional Employees shall participate in determination of the calendar, along with administrative employees and other College employees. The Base Contract Year may be extended due to circumstances when there are teaching or other related duties that require contract extension days. The Base Contract Year may only be extended if mutually agreed upon by the Board/Administration and a Professional Employee. When mutually agreed between a faculty member and Cabinet, an academic department can be placed on a contract extension based on the following guidance: a. Contract extensions must be submitted prior to June 1 for appropriate consideration in the budgeting process. b. Contract extensions must be agreed to prior to the signing of contracts for the following academic year. Extension days will be recorded on the individual faculty member’s annual employment contract. c. Pending budget availability, mid-year requests may be approved. The contract will state how many days the Professional Employee will work, along with the duties to be performed (including teaching), the length of the work year, and the yearly compensation.
