10-Month faculty are normally hired in September and are paid an annual salary over 12 months, from September 1 – August 31, for an academic year obligation. Each semester of work equates to approx. 50% of the work obligation to be paid over six months in order to preserve their benefits and assure appropriate payments during their scheduled period of work as follows:
Fall semester (50%):
Work obligation: Late August - December
Salary paid: September 1 through February 28
Spring semester (50%):
Work obligation: January - May
Salary paid: March 1 - August 31
Based on the above schedule, faculty members with September appointments returning from a fall semester leave without salary and 10-month faculty with an initial appointment date of January 1 will only complete 50% of their academic year obligation. As a result, they will only be due 50% of their annual salary, which will be spread out over eight months.
In order to process this salary appropriately, from Jan 1st – August 31st, they will receive a total of 50% of a full academic year’s salary as follows:
- nine (9) biweekly checks calculated at the full-time rate (January through April), followed by
- eight (8) checks calculated at the half-time rate (May through August)
The typical September 1 through August 31 payroll cycle will resume on September 1st of the new academic year at the full-time rate.
Similarly, if 10-month faculty have period(s) without pay during the academic obligation or separate from service before they have completed their academic year/semester obligation, they must be paid only an amount equal to the percentage of the obligation completed.
Those faculty who leave employment after completing their academic year/semester obligation must be paid a balance of contract due to them if they choose to leave the payroll before August 31st.
