CCFT & the District worked together on shared interests of providing one-time payments for Full-time and Adjunct Faculty!
The District will make a one-time gross payment of either $1,200.00 or $2,400.00 (less required withholding for payroll taxes) for each member of the CCFT bargaining unit currently employed, as follows:
- Each faculty member who had an assignment for only the Fall of 2020 will receive $1,200.00.
- Each faculty member who had an assignment for only the Spring of 2021 will receive $1,200.00.
- Each faculty member who had an assignment for both the Fall of 2020 and the Spring of 2021 will receive a total of $2,400.00.
The one-time payment is in consideration of the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and addressing changes in working conditions, including but not limited to increases in workload, changes in work location and space, and additional work-related and personal household expenses incurred by employees due to the COVID-19 pandemic and while working remotely for the period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 — including but not limited to, increases in expenses associated with employee usage of personal utilities, internet/wifi, phone service, cell phone service, equipment/technology, supplies, and wellness/self-care as a result of changes in working conditions and working remotely.
Mitigating Pandemic Impacts on Adjunct Faculty Benefit Eligibility
CCFT and The District agree to the following guidance regarding maintenance of adjunct faculty benefit eligibility for the 2021/2022 year and obtaining eligibility for the 2022/2023 year.
Adjunct faculty members that were eligible for benefits during the 2020/2021 academic year :
If an adjunct faculty member was eligible for benefits during the 2020/2021 academic year but did not teach sufficient units during the 2020/2021 academic year to maintain these benefits for the 2021/2022 academic year, the 2020/2021 year will not be held against them. They will retain their eligibility for the 2021/2022 academic year, so long as they remain a Cabrillo employee in good standing. Teaching units taught during the 2021/2022 academic year will then again be used as the basis for maintaining eligibility for the following year as described in section 14.4 of the CCFT Contract.
Adjunct faculty members that were moving towards eligibility:
If an adjunct faculty member taught 15 or more teaching units during the interval of summer 2019 through spring 2020 as described in section 14.4.1 of the CCFT Contract but did not teach enough units during the interval of summer 2020 through spring 2021 to become eligible for benefits for the 2021/2022 academic year, the 2020/2021 year will not be held against them. They will not become eligible during the 2021/2022 academic year, but the units taught during the combination of summer 2019 through spring 2020 plus summer 2021 through spring 2022 will be used to determine eligibility for the 2022/2023 academic year. If eligibility is not obtained at that time, the initial eligibility process will start over as described in section 14.4 of the CCFT Contract.
