LOAD BANKING Clause Samples

LOAD BANKING. 23.1 Where a Unit Member assumes an overload assignment or an intersession assignment as provided in Article 9 and Article 10 of this Agreement, respectively, the Unit Member may elect to “load bank” or accumulate all or a portion of the assignment, in lieu of receiving current compensation, for future use as paid load banking leave during a regular semester/trimester.

LOAD BANKING. 10.8.3.1 When a faculty member assumes all or a portion of any assignment (except substitute assignments) that is not part of the faculty member’s regular workload, the faculty member may elect to accumulate (bank) or receive hourly pay for any portion or all of that assignment subject to the limitations in this section. 10.8.3.2 Banked assignments may not exceed eighteen (18) teaching units. All overtime assignments worked after the eighteen (18) teaching unit limitation has been reached shall be compensated at the faculty member’s hourly rate. Banked leave shall be used on a 1:1 teaching unit basis with the exception of taking a full load of banked leave for one semester; under those circumstances, eighteen (18) TUs must be accumulated in order to take fifteen (15)

LOAD BANKING. It is agreed to by the Association and the District that both parties will work together in formulating guidelines, procedures, and timelines, as well as resolving record keeping, that will allow faculty to bank their overload hours to be used toward part of their load in the future. It is further agreed that a subcommittee of representatives from the Association and the District will meet to develop contract language, procedures and a timeline for implementation for both the Flexible Calendar and Load Banking. Appendix G‌ In the 2001 Budget Act Appropriation for Part-Time Faculty Compensation, the State of California, provided Fifty-Seven Million Dollars ($57,000,000) for community college districts to make part-time faculty compensation more comparable to frill-time faculty compensation for similar work as determined through the local collective bargaining process; and These funds are to be distributed to community college districts as a Part-Time Faculty Compensation Allocation based upon each district's total actual 2000-01 Full Time Equivalence Students served ("FTES"); and The 2001–02 Part-Time Faculty Compensation Allocation for Merced College is currently estimated to be Four Hundred Fifty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifteen Dollars ($458,715); and The Part-Time Faculty Compensation Allocation shall not supplant the resources a community college district expends in compensating its part-time faculty and shall not be used to exceed parity between part-time faculty and full-time faculty; and Merced College has submitted to the Fiscal Services Unit of the Chancellor's office a "Request for Allocation of Part-Time Faculty Compensation Funds 2001-02 Fiscal Year", that Merced College will determine through the collective bargaining process the specific definitions and amounts needed to achieve parity in compensation between part-time and full-time faculty for similar work; and This Memorandum of Understanding is entered into as a result of the local bargaining process by and between Merced College and the exclusive bargaining representative of Merced College' s part- time faculty, Merced College Faculty Association, (MCFA), for the purpose of establishing the percentage of work that is comparable between part-time and full-time faculty. Merced College and MCFA agree as follows:

LOAD BANKING. A. The District and the Association agree that it is desirable to take advantage of Education Code provisions permitting “load banking” based upon the fol- lowing principles: 1. Only full-course overloads or equivalent will be eligible for load bank- ing. 2. No more than 20% of a faculty member’s annual load, not to exceed .4666 FTE, may be banked in any one (1) semester and no more than two (2) semester courses may be banked in any one (1) year. 3. No more than the equivalent of one semester’s full-time load may be accumulated. 4. At any one (1) time no more than 6% of full-time faculty members may utilize their banked hours for a full semester reduction of load and such reduction of load may not be taken more than once every five (5) years. 5. Banked hours may be used by a faculty member to reduce a load during a semester. Faculty using banked hours have been granted a reduction of load, not a leave, as defined in Article XIII, Leaves, and are not excused from responsibilities enumerated in Article X, Section G. The faculty member must notify the administration of his/her intent to uti- lize a full-semester reduction of load at the time of submission of a tentative annual teaching assignment. 6. Banked hours may be used for professional or personal reasons exclud- ing full-time employment with another college district. B. A faculty member may “cash in” any portion of his/her load banked hours at any time. Where hours are “cashed in” instead of used for load banking, the faculty member shall be paid on the basis of the rate of pay in effect when the hours are cashed in, except that in no event can hours be accumulated beyond five (5) years after they were first earned. C. Should a full-time faculty member die, the total value of his/her accumulated banked hours shall be paid to his/her beneficiary(ies) in a timely manner.

LOAD BANKING. It is agreed to by MCFA and the District that both parties will work together in formulating guidelines, procedures, and timelines, as well as resolving record keeping, that will allow faculty to bank their overload hours to be used toward part of their load in the future. It is further agreed that a subcommittee of representatives from MCFA and the District will meet to develop contract language, procedures and a timeline for implementation for both the Flexible Calendar and Load Banking. ‌ ‌ ‌ Appendix J‌ ACTG-04A 55 ACTG-04B 55 ACTG-51 55 ACTG-52 55 ACTG-53 55 AGBS-10 50 AGBS-11 50 AGBS-12 50 AGBS-13 50 AGBS-14 50 AGBS-17 50 AGBS-18 24 AGBS-30 35 AGBS-31A 35 AGBS-31B 35 AGBS-31C ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇ varies ALLH-60 30 ALLH-67 55 ANSC-10 50 ANSC-11 50 ANSC-12 50 ANSC-13 50 ANSC-16 28 ANSC-17 28 ANSC-18 28 ANSC-19 28 ANSC-30 28 ANSC-40 28 ANSC-41 28 ANSC-49 28 ANSC-70AA-ZZ varies ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ AOM-50A 20 AOM-50B 35 AOM-51 35 AOM-52A ▇▇ ▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇-▇▇ 40 AOM-60 33 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ 50 ART-01 50 ART-02 50 ART-06 50 ART-12AB 24 ART-15 24 ART-17AB 24 ART-20AB 24 ART-23AB 24 ART-24AB 24 ART-26AB 24 ART-29AB 24 ART-45 24 ASLG-01 33 ASLG-02 33 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ 45 ATHL-01B 45 ATHL-01D 45 ATHL-01G 45 ATHL-01I 45 ATHL-01J 45 ATHL-01K 45 ATHL-01L 45 ATHL-02A 45 ATHL-02B 45 ATHL-02G 45 ATHL-02G 45 ATHL-02I 45 ATHL-02K 45 ATHL-03 45 ATHL-13 45 ATHL-36A 45 ATHL-36B 45 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ 10 AUTO-48D 10 AUTO-48E 10 AUTO-48F 10 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ 48 BIOL-04A 48 BIOL-04B 24 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ 48 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ 55 BUS-10 55 BUS-18A 30 BUS-35 55 BUS-43 55 BUS-49A-ZZ 55 CHEM-02A 48 CHEM-02B 48 CHEM-04A 48 CHEM-04B 48 CHEM-12A 48 CHEM-12B 48 CLDV-01 55 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ 20 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ 16 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ 55 CLDV-30D 55 CLDV-33 55 CLDV-34A 55 CLDV-34B ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ 55 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇ 55 COMM-01 28 COMM-02 33 COMM-04 33 COMM-05 33 COMM-30 33 CORR-01 55 CORR-42 55 CORR-43 55 CORR-44 55 CORR-49A-ZZ 55 CPSC-01 24 CPSC-05A 24 CPSC-06 55 CPSC-07 50 CPSC-14 33 CPSC-30 30 CPSC-39 45 CPSC-40A 49 CPSC-40B 25 CPSC-42 30 ▇▇▇▇-01 55 ▇▇▇▇-02 55 ▇▇▇▇-03 55 ▇▇▇▇-04 55 ▇▇▇▇-05 55 ▇▇▇▇-06 55 ▇▇▇▇-08 55 ▇▇▇▇-10 38 ▇▇▇▇-11 ▇▇▇▇-30 55 ▇▇▇▇-33 55 ▇▇▇▇-35 55 ▇▇▇▇-3...

LOAD BANKING. Full-time faculty may accumulate credit toward leave for an instructional overload assignment in a regular semester or summer term by banking the overload in lieu of immediate payment. This article will expire on June 30, 2017.

Decisions to grant or not to grant a leave shall not be made in an arbitrary, capricious or discriminatory manner. 21.14 When a faculty member uses banked overload to reduce their workload, it shall not constitute a break in service. CASHING OUT 21.15 Faculty may choose to receive their banked overload, or a portion thereof in a lump sum payment. 21.16 Payments shall be made at the rate in which the overload was banked. 21.17 F...

LOAD BANKING. The District does not require a faculty member who is on a Load Credit Leave to engage in any prescribed set of activities, but Load Credit Leaves are intended to provide faculty members with an opportunity for professional growth, development and renewal that benefits the faculty members themselves and, ultimately, their students.

LOAD BANKING. Regular and provisional faculty who anticipate they will be unable to make load during the instructional period, or who face other special circumstances, may use three semesters in an academic year to count load upon recommendation of the Academic chair or Director and approval of the Vice President of Educational Services.

The bargaining unit member’s request shall be granted unless one or more of the following conditions exists: a. There are no other faculty in the discipline qualified or able to take on the vacated workload. b. An undue hardship would exist if the request were granted. c.
