Calculations to translate salary schedules’ figures to 3-unit load pay rates:
(linked name of each district below links to that district’s adjunct instructional salary schedule)
- San Mateo: Calculation to translate SMCCCD adjunct hourly rate to 3-unit load rate:
Hourly Rate x Hours/Week (3) x Weeks/Semester (17.5) + Office Hour Rate x Weeks/Semester (17.5) - Marin: Calculation to translate Marin FT annual salary to 3-unit load rate:
95% of FT annual salary (= PT annual 30-unit salary) then 10% of PT annual salary = 3-unit load rate - West Valley-Mission: WV/M instructional adjunct salary schedule lists pay rates for one semester (15 units);
to calculate the 3-unit load rate, divide the listed 15-unit rate by 5 - San Jose-Evergreen: SJ/E instructional adjunct salary schedule lists pay rates for one semester (15 units);
to calculate the 3-unit load rate, divide the listed 15-unit rate by 5
