General Instructions:
  • Used to appoint a current employee to a ’special pay category’. Compensation for the assignment may be made at intervals during the assignment duration provided that compensation is not paid in advance of work performed, or on a one-time basis in full, upon completion of the assignment. May only be used for specific class codes as authorized by the Chancellor's Office.

  • All special pay appointments may be subject to Medicare, DC/PST Plans and/or CalPERS except that classes 2322, 2323, 2362, 2363, and 2365 are excluded from CalPERS.

  • Certification of time/dates worked is required for those paid on an hourly or daily basis (classes 2356, 2323, 2363, 4660).

  • Certification of pay rate is required for those paid by unit, demonstration, student or session (classes 2322, 2323, 2357, 2457, 2362, 2365, and 2363).

  • Campuses may compensate non-credit instructors (class 2363) as follows:
    -Course instruction and normal preparation: Enter zero for FTE and Compensation Frequency as 'U', Range (Grade) Code  as '1'.
    -Course development and instruction: Enter zero for FTE and Compensation Frequency as 'H', Range (Grade) Code as '2'.

 

  • An employee cannot have more than two separate assignments for the same pay period (unless different position numbers, three rates of pay, or unless Summer Session/Extension). One DTA/PAY can have two actions: two-line entry of time and different salary rate, which equals two assignments. If the rate of pay is the same for the two-lines of time, this is a one line entry only.  

  • Summer salary rates (for classes 2322, 2357 and 2457) keyed above or below the salary range will not be accepted in the system. For full professors paid above the salary range maximum, the summer salary rate must be processed on two lines with the same effective date. Enter both lines with the same number of units one rate at the salary range maximum, and the other rate at that difference between the salary range maximum and the total rate to be paid. The sum of both rates must equal the total summer salary rate.

  • Employees who have accepted a specific Summer Session/Extension assignment may be eligible for NDI benefits if a nonindustrial disability results in a wage loss during the period of assignment. If benefits are approved, special documentation procedures are required. 

 

  • May be used for the following class codes:

2322 - Instructional Faculty, Special Programs For Credit
2323 - Instructional Faculty, Extension For Credit
2356 - Substitute Instructional Faculty
2357 - Instructional Faculty, Summer Session, Extension
