Common use of USE OF BANKED FLC’s Clause in Contracts

USE OF BANKED FLC’s. Faculty members will use banked leave at the time agreed upon with their division ▇▇▇▇(s) when establishing the plan. Requests to take leave with accumulated banked units will be granted only if the faculty member’s program can operate satisfactorily in the faculty member’s absence and a suitable replacement is available. The regular District procedures for advertising and evaluating applicants will be used to seek appropriate replacements. 22.6.1 No more than one full-time equivalent (FTE) faculty member from a discipline, or 25% of the eligible FTE in a discipline, whichever is the larger number, may be on leave (for any reason) at the same time. If more than this amount of FTE faculty leave is applied for, selection of faculty who may take their leave will be made based on program requirements as determined by the ▇▇▇▇(s). Earned leave will not be treated differently from other types of leave when making these determinations. Seniority among applicants who have not taken an earned leave within the past five years is an additional factor that may be considered when determining who may take a leave. 22.6.2 Faculty who wish to apply banked overload to a leave must submit to their division ▇▇▇▇(s) a written request for such leave at least one year in advance. Exception to such notice may be made upon the mutual consent of the faculty member and the division ▇▇▇▇(s). 22.6.3 Faculty may apply banked overload to a partial or full semester leave, or to a full last year of employment, but not to part of a course assignment. The loading formula in effect at the time the FLC is earned shall be applied to the leave semester. 22.6.4 Normally, earned leave can be taken only from similarly compensated activities as those for which the banked FLCs were earned (lecture, laboratory, counseling, advising, etc.). The current value of banked FLCs must equal or exceed the cost of replacement for the full assignment being vacated. Current value is considered the actual number of banked hours multiplied by the applicable current rate for Step 10 placement on the part-time payschedule. 22.6.5 While on leave, the faculty member shall be paid according to the full-time salary schedule in effect at the time the leave is taken, or a percentage thereof if a partial leave is taken. 22.6.6 Employee and dependent benefits will continue in effect for the faculty member using earned leave and such leave will not be considered a break in service. 22.6.7 Once enrolled in the program, a faculty member may not withdraw the banked units and receive a cash payout, except in highly unusual emergency situations outlined in the pertinent Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations for early payout of deferred compensation. Banked FLCs must be used within seven (7) years of the first semester of accumulation. Exceptions may be granted by the ▇▇▇▇(s) for unusual circumstances, such as unexpected exigencies experienced by the faculty member which prevent the taking of a leave as planned. In such a case, a new banking plan will be prepared that ensures taking the leave in a timely manner. If all or a portion of banked leave is not used, the faculty member will receive monetary compensation at the rate of pay which was in effect for overload assignments at the time credit was earned and banked. 22.6.8 In the event of a faculty member’s death, the value of accumulated FLCs will be paid at the same rate as unused FLCs to the estate of the deceased in the same manner as other compensation due the employee.
