Reduction in Load Clause Samples
Reduction in Load. No full-time faculty member will have fewer than thirty (30) units of assigned load per academic year. However, a full-time faculty member and the District may negotiate a contract for reduced load. The full-time faculty member shall have representation by the Association in negotiating their reduced load contract. The contract salary and fringe benefit costs will correspond pro rata with the reduction in load. For example, a full-time instructor who negotiates an 80% load will receive 80% of their current salary. The full-time instructor will receive their full benefit package and be responsible for paying the pro rata difference (20% in this example) by authorized deduction from their salary warrant.
Reduction in Load. In the areas designated by the College and with the approval of their immediate supervisor and the College Administration, faculty members may elect up to a maximum of two (2) courses or a forty percent (40%) reduction of their basic load. During the period of reduced load, the base salary, sick and personal leave benefits, and office hour and advisement responsibilities of the faculty member shall be reduced proportionately. Reduced loads shall be assigned when requested by the faculty member except when to do so would interfere with the orderly function of the department or area.
