Regular full-time and/or benefitted employees will be paid according to the EWC salary schedule. Overload pay for full-time instructors is allowed when the number of credit hours for one academic year exceeds 30 annualized workload credit hours. Pay for overload is paid at the same rate as that of an adjunct instructor. Including overload courses, a maximum teaching load for an EWC instructor is 21 credit hours per semester. At the employee’s decision, Overload and Adjunct Instructor compensation is paid all at once (in December and May) or spread across four months (September through December and February through May). Block A or B Adjuncts will be paid at the conclusion of their assigned instructional period.
Non-benefitted, non-instructional employees will be paid according to the EWC part-time wage rate schedule.
Overtime. In accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, nonexempt personnel who are required to work over 40 hours per week receive compensatory time off at the rate of 1.5 hours for each hour of overtime worked. If the Budget Manager and/or Department Head decides that compensatory time is not feasible, then the employee will be paid at a rate of time and one-half their hourly rate. Overtime is awarded for weekly time worked over 40 hours, not a combination of weekly time worked and credited non-work hours.
All overtime must receive prior approval. Emergency overtime should be reported to the appropriate Department Head or Budget Manager. Overtime compensation must be taken or paid by June 30 of each year.
