Contract Personnel (Administrative and Professional) are hereinafter referred to as 鈥淎&P鈥.
General Description
The Administrative and Professional Salary Schedule consists of positions that are: Executive/Managerial and Technical/Professional.
Executive/Managerial
Employees filling these positions have primary responsibility for planning, organizing and managing the institution and/or instructional functions of the institution. In general, these officers of the College are responsible for serving in a managerial capacity including responsibility as budget authority, supervision, planning and assessment, and leadership. They are expected to be available to the College as needed to carry out these duties.
The members of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) are charged with the execution of all administrative and managerial duties related to the planning and operation of 麻豆传媒映画. The executive positions of Vice President and those additional positions as designated by the President comprise the ELT. The President designates senior management positions, and a list of those positions is maintained in Human Resources. To facilitate a smooth transition, more than one person may be assigned to the same senior management position for a period no greater than six months.
Technical/Professional
Employees filling these positions are required to have education, knowledge, or competence of an advanced nature in a highly specialized or highly technical field. Each performs a major, independent function of a highly specialized or supervisory nature. These employees may be exempt from overtime or nonexempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act, depending on the salary level test adopted by the Department of Labor and other factors to be considered by the College. Positions will be designated as either exempt or nonexempt at the time of posting and documented in the individual employee鈥檚 file.
Part-time
Part-time A&P personnel are temporary employees who are appointed to perform specified services at a specific rate of pay per time period of employment, and termination is automatic at the end of each appointment period. They do not occupy a regularly established, budgeted position and do not participate in the regular benefit programs established for full-time employees unless otherwise specified. Part-time A&P personnel generally work no more than 28.5 hours per week with the exception of variable hour and seasonal employees who may temporarily work hours in excess of 28.5 weekly for short periods. Part-time A&P personnel who also work in another part-time capacity for the College cannot exceed more than 28.5 hours in their total workweek for the College in their various part-time appointments without written approval from the President or his/her designee. Payment of part-time employees is semimonthly on an hourly basis. Part-time appointments shall be made for periods that mirror our academic semesters, Fall (September-December), Spring (January-April) and Summer (May-August). The hourly rate is determined commensurate to the corresponding full-time salary ranges.
Additional Appointments
Exempt A&P employees may have additional appointments. Exempt A&P employees may teach up to two (2) classes or a maximum of six (6) credit hours per term in addition to their full-time position obligations and are subject to all applicable credentialing requirements. Exceptions to these loading limitations must be authorized by the President or his/her designee and the appropriate Vice President when necessary for the successful operation of the College. Courses taught in addition to the full-time workweek obligation of the exempt A&P employee may be compensated at the overload rate of pay as stated in the faculty section of the Salary Schedule. However, when teaching is defined and documented as an essential obligation of the exempt A&P position, courses taught will receive no load/overload regardless of when scheduled. Generally, courses taught during the standard work hours will be considered part of the exempt A&P employee鈥檚 work obligation and said employees will not receive additional compensation. However, if it is determined that an exempt A&P employee is to be compensated for courses that are scheduled during the standard work hours of the College, a memo acknowledging how work time missed will be made up, approved by the appropriate Vice President, should be submitted to Human Resources to be placed in the employee鈥檚 file. Generally, nonexempt employees may not have any other appointments for other positions within the College.
Salary Statement
The salary of the President is set by the District Board. Salaries of the ELT and Senior
Management are set by the President. As shown in the attached Salary Ranges, all other positions are assigned to a specific salary range based upon a fully documented assessment and approved by the President and the District Board, based on the following and other pertinent factors as defined by the Standards for Planning and Performance and/or other appropriate documentation utilized to define current job duties and scope of positions:
- Significance of the position to the objectives of the College.
- Formal educational training.
- Type, amount, and availability of experience.
- Numbers, types, and levels of personnel supervised.
- Level and degree of contribution to the decision-making process of the College.
- Marketplace comparable.
In the employment, promotion or reclassification of personnel, the President or his/her designee shall recommend the employee's appointment to a specified position on the approved Salary Range based on the interrelationship of duties, training and relevant experience. Each salary determination must be confirmed by Human Resources and placement within the salary range is based upon the candidate's education, administrative and/or related business experience as shown in the attached salary table and is subject to internal and external marketplace factors.
Part-time A&P personnel are generally appointed at the hourly rate of the base salary of the approved salary range. An hourly rate exceeding this amount may be established only with supporting justification from the department and written approval of the Human Resources Official based on the same criteria considered for full-time employees.
