• Salaries: Look in article 20 and in appendix E for salary information. Note that salary calculations are based on your 2002 (old CBA) salary. You may want to look at your December pay stub to verify your old salary. Alternatively, you can phone HR and ask for your annual salary rate as of the 2002 year. Next, multiply your old 2002 salary by 0.0325. Then subtract the difference. That is your negotiated salary increase. Now take the old 2002 salary and multiply it by 0.015. Then subtract the difference. That difference (an additional salary increase) is an amount the management refers to as the MRC. Take the old 2002 salary add the negotiated salary increase and add the MRC. That amount is your salary increase that commences September 1, 2002 and appears in Appendix E. Each salary is numbered in Appendix E but is not personally identified. In order to find out your number so you may verify the pay increase, please send an email to jackwh@fpc.edu or call the HR office.

• It became clear that, absent an IP Article, the College was working toward a policy that they would own all intellectual works we produce. During negotiations, they argued that the College should be able to own any materials we produced with "incidental use of College resources/support/facilities," including our office computers, the Library, Internet services, etc.

• New Article’s key concept: Substantial Use (28.4.4) -- the College will only attain ownership of intellectual property produced by a faculty member if the faculty member has produced the work with "substantial use" of the College’s resources/support/facilities.

• College aid exceeding $30,000 (3 years) per project

• Article 28.5 – determining ownership of IP:

• College 100%, Faculty 0%
• College Directed or Commissioned Work

• College 50%, Faculty 50%
• Works supported with substantial use & faculty compensation
• Works supported with substantial use
• Works supported with compensation

• College 0%, Faculty 100%
• College-Assisted Works
• Independent Works

• 31.1.2 – maximum 27 DE credits toward FPC degree (Max 18 credits of non-FPC courses)
• transfer students are exempt from these limits

• 31.1.5 – All DE courses taught by PT faculty and independent providers shall count as PT FLH’s for determining the FT-PT ratio
• For courses taught by independent providers: each 18 credit hours completed shall equal 1 FLH

• 31.3 – Faculty participation – No faculty member appointed prior to 1/1/03 shall be obligated to teach DE courses throughout term of agreement.

• 31.5 – All DE courses offered for credit by FPC must be approved through process defined in Article 19 (Curriculum Committee).

Summary of Important Changes and Items in Article 11 Part-Time Faculty

% of FLHs that must be taught by full-time is 65%, 72%, 72%, 72% for each of the four years of the proposed CBA. Current CBA the numbers were 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%. Senior Lecturers, for the purposes of calculation, count as full-time FLHs under the new CBA. They did under the last two years of the current CBA. However, SLs also get the same opt-in for health/dental benefits as full-time now. Also, SLs now get two-year terms.

From 1997-1998, the last year of the previous CBA, to 2001-2002, the last year of the current CBA, the per-FLH compensation went from $715 (base pay) to the $787 (base pay) for an increase of 10.1% over the life of the CBA.

From 2001-2002, the last year of the current CBA, to 2005-2006, the last year of the proposed CBA, the per FLH compensation would go from $787 (base pay) to $875 (base pay) for an increase of 11.2% over the life of the proposed CBA.

Individualized instruction (e.g., in music): From 1997-1998, the last year of the previous CBA, to 2001-2002, the last year of the current CBA, the per-student compensation went from $280 (base pay) to the $308 (base pay) for an increase of 11% over the life of the CBA.

Individualized instruction (e.g., in music): From 2001-2002, the last year of the current CBA, to 2005-2006, the last year of the current CBA, the per-student compensation would go from $308 (base pay) to the $384 (base pay) for an increase of 24.7% over the life of the proposed CBA.

As said above, Senior Lecturers may now opt in to the health and dental plan available to full-time faculty.

Under the current CBA, regular part-time may teach up to four courses per academic year and a maximum of two per semester. Under the proposed CBA, they may teach five per year, with no per-semester limit for the distribution of the course load. The numbers for regular part-time in individualized instruction are commensurate with the aforementioned numbers.

For Senior Lecturers, the course load range has gone from 6-16 FLHs per year, under the current CBA, to 9-18 FLHs per year under the proposed CBA. The numbers for Senior Lecturers in individualized instruction are commensurate with the aforementioned numbers.

Under the proposed CBA, in contrast to the current CBA, part-time faculty would be eligible for monies in the Research Support Fund

Under the proposed CBA, in contrast to the current CBA, part-time faculty would no longer have the right of first refusal of courses.
