05-0201 Employment Classifications
The College classifies positions based on a variety of factors including the nature of the duties assigned, the percentage of workload performing the duties, and state and/or College guidelines. Employment classifications are used as one factor to ensure a uniform and consistent determination of salaries and equitable alignment of positions.
Faculty – Teaching faculty positions are officially designated to perform instructional activities in degree or certificate-granting programs. The primary activities of these positions involve direct instruction. Non-teaching faculty positions are officially designated as learning resources or counselors. Regular and limited term full-time teaching faculty (credit courses), librarians and counselors are covered by the Collective Negotiations Agreement. Faculty are on nine (9) month contracts.
Professional – The primary duties provide oversight of specific operations of the College or provide services of a highly specialized or technical nature. Employees in these positions generally have specific training, experience, or certifications that relate directly to the functions of the positions and may supervise other employees. Examples of positions classified as Professional are the following: select Director positions, Assistant Directors, Classroom Teachers, Coordinators, Managers, Programmers, and Analysts.
Career Service – The primary duties involve the performance of support functions essential for the effective operation of the College. Some Career Service employees may supervise other employees. Career Service positions may be further designated as administrative, instructional, student services, technical, plant, and/or facilities support in accordance with the Florida State Accounting Manual.
Adjunct (part-time faculty) – An adjunct position is a temporary, part-time position established for the purpose of direct instruction. Adjunct faculty is limited to teaching no more than twelve (12) credit hours per semester or summer. There is no expectation the position will continue in the future. Employees holding an adjunct position are considered temporary employees and are ineligible for employment benefits.
Student Assistants – The primary duties
vary greatly and will depend on the needs in the employing department. Availability of positions may vary from semester to semester. Employment of Student Assistants is detailed in COP 05-0303 Student Employment.
