´ó·¢ and the CSU will not permit faculty to exceed 125% in any given semester. Averaging is not allowed, per the CSU. - What counts when determining the 125% additional employment?Under the CSU Additional Employment Policy, all CSU employment and all outside CSU foundation and other CSU auxiliary employment are considered together. This includes work performed for any CSU campus and for any CSU auxiliary organization such as ´ó·¢ Corporation, Extended Learning, and grants and contracts administered by CSU auxiliary organizations. Work performed as a Special Consultant is also counted as part of an individual’s total workload.
- How is salary determined for additional employment?The salary rate for additional employment may be the same as the rate for the primary appointment; however, a different salary rate is permitted if appropriate for the work performed and if allowed by the funding source (e.g., private corporation contract). In the case of a federal grant or contract, the rate of pay for the additional employment must be the same as the CSU base rate of pay for the primary assignment.
- Can Academic Administrators accept additional employment in the faculty unit?No.
- Can faculty on Sabbatical Leave accept additional or outside employment?No, unless they option prior approval from the Provost as the President’s designee.
- Why are participants in FERP restricted from accepting additional employment?FERP faculty are restricted from additional employment unless the additional employment is through a non-CalPERS participant. Participants in the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP) are further restricted by regulations set forth in of the Unit 3 Faculty Collective Bargaining Agreement. Total CSU employment for FERP participants is limited to either 90-days per fiscal year (a semester is normally 85-days) or 50% of the faculty member’s time base in the year preceding service retirement. FERP participants’ period of employment shall refer to the 90-day rule, per Article 29.8 in the Unit 3 Faculty Collective Bargaining Agreement.
- How do additional employment and outside employment differ?Additional Employment (within the CSU) is different than Outside Employment (typically wholly outside the CSU). There are no percentage limits on Outside Employment; however, Outside Employment shall not conflict with normal CSU work assignments or satisfactory performance of all duties as a faculty unit employee. Also, full-time faculty must fill out CBA Appendix G – the when the Outside Employment is expected to exceed 160 hours per semester for academic year faculty or 120 hours per 3-month period for 12-month. See CBA Appendix G or the CSU for more information.
