Paperwork -- From Your Department
Last updated on 12/26/2003Once you have accepted a position as an adjunct at Baruch, your information will have to be put into the Payroll system so that you can receive your checks. This process begins in your department where a Personnel Action Form, or PAF, is prepared. The completed PAF is forwarded to Human Resources, where they begin a folder for your payroll information. You'll have to go to the HR office (135 E. 22 Street, Room 200) to pick up and hand in the forms you'll have to complete to continue the process of getting you into the system.
Check with your department to determine when your PAF will arrive in the Human Resources office. Some departments provide a letter for you to bring with you to Human Resources; others instruct you to go to the Human Resources Office once your PAF has made its way there.
The PAF includes some fields of information you'll provide to your department:
Name, address, telephone number
Marital Status
Number of Exemptions
Social Security Number
Date of Birth
Citizenship
Highest Degree
Year and Institution of Highest Degree
At the beginning of the semester, you'll receive a Workload Report from your department. This report verifies the number of hours you work within the City University of New York and must be completed each semester you are working at Baruch. According to the Agreement between the City University of New York and the Professional Staff Congress, adjunct lecturers or adjuncts in other titles shall not be assigned a total of more than nine classroom contact hours during a semester in one unit of CUNY. In addition, such adjuncts may be employed to teach a maximum of one course of not more than six hours during a semester at another unit of CUNY. According to the current contract, adjuncts who teach two courses in a given semester in one unit or exceed six teaching hours at Baruch are entitled to one additional paid hour per week, the nature of which (office hour, professional development) will be determined in consultation with the department chair. For more information and a copy of the workload form go to http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/facultyhandbook/adjunct/workload.htm
For persons in non-teaching adjunct titles, the limitations noted above are equated to not more than 225 hours per semester at one college and not more than 150 hours per semester at a second college of the University.
