Classroom faculty will be compensated $30 per hour. As part of your teaching load, you'll be required to have 10 minutes of office hour for each unit/lab taught. For example, 3-unit class = 30 minutes, equals 8-hours compensation per 16-week semester, thus $240 for a 3-unit class.

Counselors will earn 3.63 minutes for each hour worked, with a maximum of 100 minutes of office hours per week and 1600 minutes per semester (e.g., a part-time counselor works 22 hours/week, s/he will be compensated for 80 minutes,which is 22 x 3.63 per week).
