Administrative Regulation: Contract Rule
Regulation Number: 3.21.2
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Working Days. The number of working days during the contract year for all employees of Eastern Wyoming College, exempt or nonexempt, employed at least half-time shall be based on the number of work months:
| 12-month employee | 260 working days |
| 11-month employee | 238 working days |
| 10-month employee | 217 working days |
| 9-month employee | 195 working days |
A contract or work assignment for a period of time different from those shown above is calculated as a fraction of a twelve-month assignment.
An employee’s exempt/non-exempt status is determined in accordance with criteria established by the Department of Labor through the Fair Labor Standards Act. All permanent employees employed at least half-time are eligible for paid vacation/recess, holiday, college closure, and health/wellness leave as defined in Administrative Regulation 3.15.1 and 3.21.1.
Absences. Full-time employees are contracted for a minimum of 35 hours per working week in the place(s) to which they are assigned. For all planned absences, approval of supervisor must be obtained prior to leave. If it is necessary for instructional faculty to be absent from the assigned place during hours scheduled, the college receptionist shall be notified. For all other employees, the supervisor shall be notified.
For teaching faculty, working days include:
Faculty duty days – every instructional day, in-service, commencement and other days scheduled by the Chief Academic Officer. Normally scheduled faculty duty days may not be used for recess or “instructional preparation” time.
Instructional preparation days – days for which faculty are not normally required to be on campus, these days are considered to be in excess of faculty duty days and paid leave days.
