Generally, the contract is awarded only after the full staff selection process. Employees may receive payment based on an hourly or monthly rate with a specified contractual total.


Supplementary

Within budgetary limitations and legislative guidelines, the college may offer to instructors on less than twelve month contracts supplementary contracts, depending on workload and financial conditions.  Division deans and the appropriate vice president make every effort to accommodate instructors’ wishes regarding assignments in accordance with college needs.


Temporary

A temporary contract may be awarded in lieu of a regular contract for one or more of the following reasons:


  1. Insufficient time is available to complete the full staff selection process.
  2. Funds in support of the position do not derive from a regular funding unit or are   otherwise tenuous in nature.
  3. No long term need exists for the position.
  4. The employee does not currently meet all employment standards.

Temporary employees may be full or part time. In most instances, full‑time temporary employees are entitled to all fringe benefits of a regular contract.
