Employment Fraction (FTE). Employment fractions (full-time equivalency or FTE) should be determined by the following scale of time commitments averaged over the employment period specified in Section 2. The use of an employment fraction indicates less than half-time effort. Employment fractions are to be based on expected weekly and overall workload during an academic quarter. Supervisors shall review the employment fraction with their employees at the beginning of the employee’s appointment to ensure mutual understanding of the weekly work time commitment. No more than 85% of the employee’s maximum work hours for a 13-week employment period may be worked during the 11-week academic term (where an academic term is defined in this section only as ten instructional weeks and one week of finals). Working hours shall not fluctuate more than 50% above the weekly average in any one work week throughout the course of the employment period, unless by mutual agreement between the supervisor and the employee.

Employment Fraction (FTE). Employment fractions (full-time equivalency or FTE) should be determined by the following scale of time commitments averaged over the employment period specified in Section 2. The use of an employment fraction indicates less than half-time effort. Effective September 16, 2017, Graduate Employees will be appointed to a minimum FTE of 0.3. The minimum FTE assignment for a Graduate Employee who has sole responsibility for teaching a lecture course and/or is listed as the instructor of record shall be 0.3 for one (1) section and 0.49 FTE for two (2) sections. Sole responsibility is understood to mean sole responsibility for teaching and conducting of a class, serving as the primary contact for students enrolled in the class, and evaluating and grading student work. Employment fractions are to be based on expected weekly and overall workload during an academic quarter. Supervisors shall review the employment fraction with their employees at the beginning of the employee’s appointment to ensure mutual understanding of the weekly work time commitment. No more than 85% of the employee’s maximum work hours for a thirteen-week employment period may be worked during the eleven week academic term (where an academic term is defined in this section only as ten instructional weeks and one week of finals). Working hours shall not fluctuate more than 50% above the weekly average in any one
