SPECIAL NOTE: Adjunct Lecturers Vacation and Sick Time Accrual –
When Adjunct Lecturers are appointed into the Lecturing position, it is necessary for the units to send a memo to the lecturer with a copy for payroll regarding the avoidance of vacation/PTO accrual payout and sick time reduction due to the reduced primary appointment which these lecturers are taking in order to serve the college in a teaching capacity. Below are templates for your use:
a) Beginning of the semester memo: asking payroll to avoid processing any reduction or payout of these benefits; and
b) End of the semester memo: asking payroll to reinstate the accruals as necessary.
