5. Old Business
We discussed Part time-hours and how it worked—part-time employees are allotted a total amount of available hours per year. Weekly hours are based on an average of the grand total allotted for the position. Someone who is allotted 1,450 hours (the most possible), works an average of 29 hours per week, but that can be more or less on a given week (with supervisor approval), as long as the grand total of allotted hours is not exceeded (May 1-April 30 is the “year”) and never more than 40 hours in a single week – F-Th. There was a rumor that part-time staff may not be allowed to make up missed hours in the future. This will require further research. We also discussed PTSA stance on Part-time employees and adjunct teaching that was submitted over the summer to HR and President. Response from HR was they would take it into consideration.
6. New Business
