Relationship of Part-Time Employee to College
Policy: 9.5 Absence Procedure
Adoption Date: January 27, 2016 Revised
Absence Procedure
Part-time instructors teaching college credit courses are expected to meet all their classes for the length of time scheduled. However, the college recognizes that during the semester, situations may arise which prevent instructors from meeting class, though the expectation is that such absences will be rare. The following guidelines have been established to ensure that efforts are made to provide students all the classroom instruction to which they are entitled and that instructors are treated fairly and consistently.
It is the instructor’s responsibility to recommend qualified substitutes, who may be either college employees or outside individuals. In most situations a substitute can be arranged far in advance of the class meeting. All substitutes must be approved by the site instructional dean or the Dean of Teaching and Learning.
If a substitute wishes to be paid, rather than substituting on a “trade-off” or “favor” basis, the amount will be deducted from the part-time instructor’s salary.
If an emergency or last minute, and unavoidable situation arises and a substitute cannot be arranged, the site instructional dean or the Dean of Teaching and Learning must be notified as soon as possible.
In such instances each instructor will be allowed one absence per each section taught per semester.
If such emergencies occur more than once in the semester, the college will make deductions from the instructor’s salary for the second and subsequent “uncovered” absences.
