As part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), we have to track the number of hours that adjunct instructors work each week to determine if they are eligible for health care. For salaried adjuncts, please use the following calculations to find their hours per pay period (PP), which is also used to set up the 091 earnings code.
FT Adjuncts
Use the following calculation:
- Number of credits x 5 = Hours per PP
If the adjunct is consistently working more hours per pay period, please submit an updated job form with the new Hours per PP. If the adjunct is working more hours in a given pay period, submit a paper time sheet using the 091 earnings code for ALL hours worked.
FW Adjuncts
Use the following calculation or your best judgement:
- Biweekly salary/45 = Hours per PP
If the adjunct is consistently working more hours per pay period, please submit an updated job form with the new Hours per PP. If the adjunct is working more hours in a given pay period, submit a paper time sheet using 091 earnings code for ALL hours worked.
