Subject to the application of Articles 2.02 and 27.06 A, commencing in the 2018-2019 academic year, where the school or department within a college determines that there is a need to hire a Partial-Load employee to teach a course that has previously been taught by that registered Partial-Load employee in the department/school, it will give priority in hiring to such Partial-Load employee if:
- They are currently employed, or if they have previously been employed as a Partial-Load employee for at least eight (8) months of service as defined in 26.10 C within the last four (4) academic years, and
- The assignment of such course will not cause the employee to exceed the maximum teaching contact hours for Partial-Load employees.
The offer of Partial-Load employment is conditional on the college subsequently determining there is sufficient enrolment to warrant the assignment being offered. Where two (2) or more
Partial-Load employees would be entitled to be offered the course assignment, the employee with the most service will be offered the first opportunity (Academic Collective Agreement 26.10 E)
In addition to maintaining a record of a Partial-Load employee’s job experience, the college will keep a record of the courses that the employee has taught and the departments/schools where the Partial-Load employee has taught such courses. By April 30 in each calendar year, a currently or previously employed Partial-Load employee must register their interest in being employed as a Partial-Load employee in the following academic year. This individual will be considered a registered Partial-Load employee for the purpose of 26.10 E.
To qualify, you will need to meet the following criteria:
- currently employed or previously been employed as a Partial-Load employee for at least eight months of service within the last four academic years
- assignment of additional courses will not cause you to teach more than 12 hours a week
