Highlights of the Ratified Agreement

  1. The Agreement acknowledges funding cuts to community colleges and the increased cost of health benefits, and it clarifies intent and approach for CCFT to receive fair share of future increased revenues.

  2. BENEFITS: Effective 2012-13, a cost-sharing model in introduced for increases to health and welfare benefits (based on the 2011-12 Low HMO medical, dental, life and disability insurance premiums). This methodology will apply until an alternative is negotiated.

    • District and CCFT share equally (50% each) this year’s increases (over last year) in cost of insurance premiums (Low HMO medical, dental, life and disability).
    • Contract/regular faculty members with partial assignment receive a pro rata stipend. Adjunct stipend increases by same percentage as employee-only benefit stipend for contract/regular faculty.

  3. SALARY: Salary contingency language below will be triggered based on the outcome of Proposition 30, the Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012

    • No change if Prop 30 passes.

    • If Proposition 30 does NOT pass on Nov. 6, 2012, a one-year, annualized compensation reduction of 2.5% for all CCFT members will kick in, minus the amount saved by above benefits changes in (#2) above and the one-time savings in (#5) below. The adjunct/overload salary will be bumped to 64% pro rata prior to the reduction; Children’s Center faculty get this smaller reduction as well.

    a. Implementation for contract/regular faculty and adjunct academic specialist/ overload paychecks: Nov. 30, 2012 through May 31, 2013.   

    b. Implementation for adjunct/overload and Children’s Center faculty: Jan. 31-May 31, 2013.

  4. EARLY ANNOUNCEMENT RETIREMENT INCENTIVE: $8,000- $15,000 for those with at least 10 years of service in accordance with contract Article 18.3 (at least 10 years: $8,000; at least 15 years, $10,000; at least 20 years: $15,000). If you qualify and intend to retire prior to 8/1/13, you must notify the district between 9/17/12 and 9/28/12 to receive incentive compensation. The early retirement incentive applies regardless of outcome of Prop 30.

  5. ONE-TIME FUNDS: The following one-time funds will apply to the aforementioned agreements, with the total final balance used to offset the 2.19% salary reductions to the contract/regular and adjunct/overload academic specialist schedules:

    • Sabbatical Leave funds for 2012-13
    • Professional Growth and Development (PG &D or conference) funds for 2012-13, and all unclaimed accumulated PG&D funds (to be claimed by 10/15/12 by completing a conference attendance form).

If Prop 30 passes, these one-time funds will revert back to their intended purpose.
