Workloads for GEs shall be prorated on the percentage basis of Full Time Equivalent (FTE). To determine the hours required per term for a particular GE position with an FTE not shown below, multiply the FTE by 438, as per the current GTFF Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Please note the following:
- GEs may be employed for a total FTE between .25 and .49 each term. Exceptions are possible in the Summer; more information is available here.
- GEs are paid on a salary basis, not hourly, and the FTE is calculated based on the total number of hours they are expected to work during the term.
- The hours per week listed below are based on a typical 11-week academic term, but actual schedules may vary from week to week based on agreed-upon duties of the position.
- GEs are encouraged to notify their supervisors at any time during the quarter if their GE assignments require hours in excess of assigned FTE.
- GEs will not be asked to work more than 15% of one quarter's total FTE assignment in any one week, except by mutual agreement of the GE and the supervisor in advance of such an assignment.
- GEs may also work as student hourly employees in addition to their GE appointments. However, all work may not exceed .49 FTE in a given term (exceptions available in Summer term).
