All Bay Area Basic Aid districts pay PT instructors by load, except SMCCCD, which still pays by hour.

Calculation to translate SMCCCD hourly rate to 3-unit load:
Hourly Rate x Hours/Week (3) x Weeks/Semester (17.5) + Office Hour Rate x Weeks/Semester (17.5)

All Bay Area Basic Aid districts pay PT instructors a specific percentage of FT faculty pay, except SMCCCD (SMCCCD PT classroom faculty pay parity percentage varies depending on step and column.)

*All comps for 2023-24 except San Jose-Evergreen (2022-23 schedule is used since they are still in negotiations for 2023-24 raise)
