The FTE value increases with each semester taught, beginning at 0.000 for the first semester. Review the FTE field on the most recent adjunct assignment in Banner. If it is from a prior semester, add 0.001 to determine the updated FTE. To calculate this efficiently and accurately, use the NER2PSC Prior Semesters Count Tool. For additional guidance, refer to the Knowledge Base article “Adjunct FTE: Prior Semesters Count Tool.”
That value determines what step the adjunct should be paid at, using the following values:
-
0.000 - 0.005 = Step 1
-
0.006 - 0.011 = Step 2
-
0.012 and greater = Step 3
-
FT Adjuncts paying off scale: Use Step 0 for Grade 00_CV
-
FW Adjuncts: For Grades 00_NC or 00_HR (hourly), use Step 0
Union-represented adjuncts (FT) must be paid according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). If you pay an adjunct below the appropriate step, you will need to provide justification, such as "low enrollment," in the comments of the Electronic Personnel Action Form (EPAF) or notes of the Job Form. If there is no justification, the HR Technician will bring the adjunct up to the correct step in compliance with the CBA. See the current Adjunct Salary Schedule linked below, set per the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
