From CGEU
ARTICLE 11- SALARY Section 1. Monthly Salary Rate. The minimum full-time equivalent monthly salary rate for the term of this agreement is $2,275 for employees. Employing units reserve the right to set their full-time equivalent monthly salary rate at a higher level. The monthly salary is determined by multiplying the full-time equivalent monthly salary rate by the employment fraction as specified in Section 3.
Section 2. Employment Period. Appointments can be made based on the nine-month academic year, the twelve-month fiscal year or for other periods specified in individual cases. The nine-month academic year is divided into three academic quarters as defined by the Oregon University System, each corresponding to an employment period of three months (thirteen weeks) duration.
Section 3. Employment Fraction. Employment fractions should be determined by the following scale of time commitments averaged over the employment period specified in Section 2. The use of an employment fraction indicates less than half-time effort.
Employment Total Hours per Fraction Academic Quarter
| (FTE) | Employment Period |
|---|---|
| 0.10 | 52 |
| 0.15 | 78 |
| 0.20 | 104 |
| 0.25 | 130 |
| 0.30 | 156 |
| 0.35 | 182 |
| 0.40 | 208 |
| 0.45 | 234 |
| 0.49 | 255 |
Graduate Assistants appointed at 0.49 FTE for a 9-month academic year will not exceed a maximum of 255 hours per quarter or a total of 765 hours.
Section 4. Adjustments to Employment Fraction. An employee's employment fraction is an estimate of a proportion of full-time effort within a department or unit for the assignments involved and shall be as determined by the department or unit. Such a determination, provided there is a substantial variation between estimated time and actual time, is subject to review through the Grievance Procedure on the question of whether the estimate, and therefore the fraction, was reasonable based on the provisions of Section 3. In the event that the estimate, and therefore the fraction, was unreasonable, the department or unit will make an appropriate retroactive adjustment in salary and will prospectively increase the fraction to correspond to an appropriate estimate or reduce the time commitment to correspond to the fraction. Other adjustments, if any, shall not predate the filing of a written grievance.
