PRO-RATED CONTRACTS Clause Samples
A pro-rated contracts clause defines how payments or obligations are adjusted proportionally based on the actual duration or usage of services or goods under the contract. For example, if a contract is terminated partway through its term, the fees or deliverables owed are calculated only for the period during which services were actually provided, rather than for the full contract term. This clause ensures fairness by aligning payments or obligations with the actual benefit received, preventing overpayment or under-delivery if the contract does not run its full course.
PRO-RATED CONTRACTS. A. A “teaching contract” is normally for a full school year and school day. Shorter contracts may be issued if necessary and shall be prorated.
B. In cases where the District sets the hours per day in a full-year position, a teacher working:
1. Half-time or more receives one year of credit in the position.
2. Less than half-time receives one-half year of credit in the position.
C. In cases where the District determines the teacher will teach a portion of each week in a full-year position, a teacher working:
1. 2½ days or more per week receives one year of credit in the position.
2. Less than 2½ days per week receives one-half year of credit in the position.
D. In cases where a teacher works less than the entire year, a teacher working:
1. 138 or more days receives one year of credit.
PRO-RATED CONTRACTS. The College and the part-time/adjunct faculty member may, by the end of the first week of a term, mutually agree on a pro-rated contract for classes that are below the current minimum class size required of full-time faculty. Pro-rated contracts shall be calculated in the following manner: (actual class size/ minimum FT class size) x 100. At no time will a pro-rated contract fall below 50 percent of the faculty member’s scheduled salary. Minimum class size for continuing any class may vary due to special circumstances as determined by the College.
