Twelve-Month Faculty

Each full-time faculty on annual or continuing contract receives a contract beginning July 1 through June 30. For classes which begin prior to July 1, the rate of pay will be based upon the faculty rank on the first day of the class. The base salary chart for a twelve-month contract can be viewed in the Salary Administration Plan.

Temporary Full-Time Faculty

Daytona State College employs temporary full-time faculty as needed to provide instruction for unanticipated situations due to increased student demand. These positions are paid at the full-time faculty rate as outlined in the Salary Administration Plan. A temporary semester contract is for one semester or less and has no associated benefits. In situations where a temporary faculty is hired for more than one major consecutive semester, the temporary faculty will have associated benefits.

Nine-Month Faculty

Each full-time faculty member on an annual or continuing contract receives a nine-month contract beginning in August and covering the two major semesters (Fall/Spring) of the academic year. All faculty are required to attend planning sessions the week(s) prior to the fall and spring semester(s) and one commencement ceremony in May. Salary increases, if effective during the summer, will be effective on the first faculty duty day of the new academic contract period (August) for nine-month faculty. The base salary for a nine-month contract can be viewed in the Salary Administration Plan.

Summer Contracts

A summer contract may be awarded to nine-month faculty depending on enrollment and schedule. Summer contracts are not a guarantee from year to year and are given at the discretion of the Department Chairperson with approval from the academic Associate Vice President.

Summer Pay for Nine-Month Faculty

Summer pay is based upon faculty rank, load, and number of weeks. For instance, a faculty with professor rank teaching 6 hours/week over 6 weeks will receive the contract amount of $8,100. Depending on the courses being taught, the compensation may be spread over 6 weeks, 10 weeks, or 12 weeks for those nine-month faculty who have a faculty load type (FLT) of 15 or 20.

*Must have the loads indicated for the compensation noted.

The number of summer office hours will be two (2) hours per in-load course being taught. Faculty whose classes meet only on one day, and/or who teach fully online, may be on campus one day per week if they hold six office hours per week (two VOH must be on an alternate day), per the virtual office hour criteria.

Nine-month faculty teaching in the postsecondary adult vocational (PSAV) and apprenticeship programs (APPR) and faculty members who are not teaching but are conducting grant-funded activities or research during the summer will be compensated at 1/6 of their salary for six weeks. If additional hours are required to complete, the academic Associate Vice President and the Vice President will approve a prorated salary beyond the six-week contract.

Office hours for nine-month faculty during the fall and spring semesters will continue to follow the model based upon the faculty load type (FLT) as noted in the table below:

All Faculty will engage in a structured student support activity each major semester and may use 3 hours each week of office hours for this purpose. For in-load, online courses up to 6 hours, no substitution by additional on-campus hours will be required.

*Paid proportionally for any course under 3 credits

All courses taught as an overload or by an adjunct instructor will be compensated based on tables on page 19 of the Salary Administration Plan. For purposes of this section, Full-time (FT) refers to faculty. All non-instructional full-time are paid at the adjunct rate.

The pay for Apprenticeship OJT Instructors will be determined by the program total enrollment. This will be calculated at the end of drop/add each semester using the formula below.

1 to 25 students = 10 hrs. / Week x 17 weeks @ $40.00
26-50 students = 15 hrs. / Week x 17 weeks @$40.00
51-100+ students = 20hrs. / Week x 17 weeks @$40.00
Summer would be 12 weeks

The annual salary of Department Chairs will be equal to the nine-month salary annualized to a twelve-month salary plus an annual stipend equivalent to an additional 10% of the annualized twelve-month salary as of July 1 of that academic year, for the duration of their assignment as department chair. Additional information can be found in the table below for Chair and Assistant Chair Release and Stipends.

Assistant Chairs may be paid for work during the summer terms regardless of whether they also teach classes. This work typically involves refining the schedule, interviewing potential adjuncts, recruitment activity, textbook ordering, student advisement and related activities. This work can take place over summer A, summer B, or spread over both terms. Regardless of term, the work of the assistant chair over the summer is expected to be a total of 75 hours, which is 12.5 hours per week over Summer A or Summer B, or 6.25 hour per week over both terms. Payment should be made on a supplemental pay form using the first and last dates of the appropriate term(s).

For Directed Independent Study (DIS) and Cooperative Education (Co-op), pay will be computed by multiplying the appropriate contact hour pay rate by the number of course credit hours for each student section taught (maximum of five (5) students per term unless approved by the Associate Vice President).

In special circumstances, faculty teaching unique, short-term courses will be provided appropriate supplemental pay as determined by the President.
