Karl Ewald, CCFT President
Maya Bendotoff wrote an extensive piece on AB 86 and Enhanced Noncredit for the December 2015 issue of Faculty Voice. At that time, CCFT and the district were in negotiations around compensation for faculty doing this work. In March 2016, CCFT signed a side letter that determined compensation for an enhanced non-credit pilot program that will cover enhanced non-credit instruction through May 31, 2018. Maya wrote about this agreement in her Negotiations Update from the May 2016 issue of Faculty Voice. You can find the side letter on the ccftcabrillo.org website.
Since that time, CCFT has been asked about how the simplified hour salary schedule defined in the side letter compares to compensation based on teaching units. First, let’s look at the hourly salary schedule:
| BA or specific Min Requirements | MA/MS | MS/MS + 60 units (BA + 90) | |
| Step 1-6 | 36 | 39 | 42 |
| Step 7-11 | 42 | 45 | 48 |
| Step 12+ | 48 | 51 | 54 |
To convert this into a roughly equivalent TU rate, we need to multiply the hourly rate by the total number of hours that typically compose a teaching unit. Appendix AA.7 can be used to do this translation.
1 TU = 16 weeks x (2.4 hours/week) = 38.4 hours
We can then multiply each cell’s hourly rate to get this equivalent TU salary schedule:
| BA or specific Min Requirements | MA/MS | MS/MS + 60 units (BA + 90) | |
| Step 1-6 | 1382 | 1498 | 1613 |
| Step 7-11 | 1613 | 1728 | 1843 |
| Step 12+ | 1843 | 1958 | 2073 |
