Common use of Special Project Assignments Clause in Contracts

Special Project Assignments. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract, faculty members (both full-time and part-time) may be employed in a special projects contract providing for compensation as mutually agreed to between the superintendent/president and the faculty member. a. A special project assignment is any mutually agreed upon non-instructional assignment that requires a faculty employee to perform duties other than those that make up his or her normal teaching, counseling, library, or any other assignment for which the unit member was hired. Faculty may propose creation of a special assignment to provide academic coaching to the applicable ▇▇▇▇. Such requests shall be handled in the same manner as other non-instructional special assignments under this section. It is understood that “academic coach” as used here, differs from club advisors, in that academic coaches participate in local, regional, and/or state regularly scheduled competitive events. b. Compensation may take the form of payment or reassigned time, and will take into account the volume of work required, the complexity of the assignment, and whether a grant that funds the work already has set a pay rate for the work. Payment may be structured as a flat stipend or an ongoing payment for the duration of the work. The rate of pay for performing a service shall normally be estimated at no less than the hourly NIC lab rate of pay. The time required to carry out the assignment, the hourly or stipend amount of pay, and whether reassigned time is available for the assignment shall be determined before the assignment is made. c. Special project assignment opportunities that last a semester or longer will be posted on the Human Resources website for a reasonable period of time, at least two weeks, noting the duties, qualifications required, time commitment, deliverables, and compensation to be paid. The announcement will note whether the assignment is eligible for reassigned time. d. The selection criteria for special assignments and selection process shall be transparent. e. Part-time faculty are eligible to apply for special project assignments, unless otherwise noted in the position announcement.
