Research and the H e a d of the Department concerned, and with the concurrence of the Dean or Director when the semester-hour load indicates that the clockhour load does not provide a reasonable base for the calculation of overtime. g. As a general practice, the overtime load shall not exceed the average or typical load by more than one-fourth to one-third of the average or typical load. 3. Method of calculating additional compensation a. Overtime pay shall amount to that fraction of the regular annual salary, or in the case of overtime in the summer, of the regular additional compensation for summer teaching, by which the teaching load has been increased over the average or typical load as above determined. (For example, a $3,600 man with a 12-hour average or typical teaching load would, if assigned a 14-hour load, receive one-sixth of $3,600, or $600 a year as extra compensation.) b. Irrespective of the annual salary, no person shall receive less than $4 per overtime hour nor more than $12 per overtime hour for overload. It is understood that this extra compensation is compensation not only for actual classroom instruction, but for all of the additional hours of preparation, conferences with students, marking papers, and all other duties that accompany University instruction. Note: T h e rate of $4 per overtime hour is slightly more than the average hourly rate for low-salaried staff members. T h e Committee believes that a somewhat higher rate is justified on account of increased costs of living. The $12 rate, on the other hand, is somewhat less than the hourly rate of high-salaried staff members. For example, a $5,000 man with a 10-hour average or typical teaching load, if assigned a 12-hour load might receive one-fifth of $5,000 or $1,000 a year as extra compensation. W h e n converted into rate per hour, however, this amount exceeds the maximum of $12 per hour as stated above. On the basis of 32 weeks of service for an annual salary of $5,000, a 10-hour load would require 320 hours of service during the year. A salary of $5,000 divided by 320 equals a little more than $15 per hour. The Committee believes that a maximum of $12 per hour is justified by the fact that a major part of the excess load to be carried by the Departments will be in the more elementary forms of instruction. c. All commitments for overtime pay shall be for one semester only, and they shall be represented by appointment papers originating with the Head of the Department, approved by the Dean or Director, and submitted to the President in accordance with usual practice. 4. Avoidance of overload Every effort shall be made to avoid overtime loads by: a. The distribution of the total load carried by a given department over all teaching members of the Department. b. T h e employment wherever possible of additional staff members. c. A request to the President to close further registration in any given division of the University when it can be shown that all available staff, equipment, and laboratory or classroom space have been exhausted. Very sincerely yours,
