87464. The division, uniting, unification, or consolidation of any community college district or districts, or any change in district boundaries or organization, shall not affect the classification of academic employees already employed by any district affected. These employees shall have the same status with respect to their classification by the district, including time served as contract employees of the district after the division, uniting, unification, or consolidation, or change in district boundaries or organization as they had prior thereto. If the division, uniting, unification, or consolidation, or change in district boundaries or organization results in the college or other place in which any such employee is employed being maintained by another district, the employee, if a regular employee of the district that formerly maintained the college or other place of employment, shall be employed as a regular employee of the district which thereafter maintains the college or other place of employment, unless the employee elects to continue in the employ of the first district. If the employee is a contract employee of the district that formerly maintained the college or other place of employment, he or she shall be employed by the district which thereafter maintains the college or other place of employment, unless the contract employee is terminated by the district pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 87600). If not so terminated, his or her status with respect to classification by the district shall be the same as it would have been had the college or other place of employment continued to be maintained by the district that formerly maintained it. As used in this paragraph, “the college or other place in which any employee is employed” and all references thereto, includes, but is not limited to, the college services or college program which, as a result of any division, uniting, unification, or consolidation of a district, will be provided by another district, irrespective of whether any particular building or buildings in which the service or program was conducted is physically located in the new district and irrespective of whether any new district resulting from the division elects to provide for the education of its students by contracting with another community college district until the time that the new district constructs its own facilities.
As used in this section, “any change in district boundaries or organization” includes, but is not limited to, the formation of a community college district.

87475.

At the time of initial employment during each academic year, each new faculty member shall receive a written statement indicating his or her employment status and the salary that he or she is to be paid. If a community college district hires a faculty member as a temporary employee, the written statement shall clearly indicate the temporary nature of the employment and the length of time for which the person is being employed. If a written statement does not indicate the temporary nature of the employment, the faculty member shall be deemed to be a contract employee of the community college district, unless employed with regular status.
(Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1302, Sec. 79. Effective September 25, 1990.)
2023 California Code › Education Code - EDC › TITLE 3 - POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION › DIVISION 7 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES › PART 51 - EMPLOYEES › CHAPTER 3 - Employment › ARTICLE 1 - General Provisions › Section 87478.

87478. Except as provided in Sections 87481 and 87482, governing boards of community college districts shall classify faculty employed to fill positions of regularly employed persons absent from service as temporary employees.
After September 1 of any school year, the governing board of a community college district may employ, for the remainder of the school year, in temporary status any otherwise qualified person who consents to be so employed in a position for which no regular employee is available, including persons retired for service under the State Teachers’ Retirement System. Inability to acquire the services of a qualified regular employee shall be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the board of governors.
Any person employed for one complete school year as a temporary employee shall, if reemployed for the following school year in a faculty position, be classified by the governing board as a contract employee and the previous year’s employment as a temporary employee shall be deemed a year of employment as a contract employee for purposes of acquiring regular status.
(Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1302, Sec. 80. Effective September 25, 1990.)
2023 California Code › Education Code - EDC › TITLE 3 - POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION › DIVISION 7 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES › PART 51 - EMPLOYEES › CHAPTER 3 - Employment › ARTICLE 1 - General Provisions › Section 87480.

87480. Governing boards of community college districts shall classify as temporary employees faculty members, who are employed to serve from day to day during the first three school months of any school term to instruct temporary classes not to exist after the first three school months of any school term or to perform any other duties which do not last longer than the first three school months of any school term, or to instruct in special day and evening classes for adults or in schools of migratory population for not more than four school months of any school term. If the classes or duties continue beyond the first three school months of any school term or four school months for special day and evening classes for adults, or schools for migratory population, the employee, unless a regular employee, shall be classified as a contract employee. The school year may be divided into not more than two school terms for the purposes of this section.
In any district, the governing board may, to prevent the stoppage of district business when an actual emergency arises and persons are not immediately available for contract classification, make an appointment to a position on a temporary basis for a period not to exceed 20 working days. The person so appointed shall be deemed to be a temporary employee who is employed to serve from day to day. Service by a person in such an appointment on a temporary basis shall not be included in computing the service required as a prerequisite to attainment of, or eligibility to, classification as a regular employee of a community college district.
(Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1302, Sec. 81. Effective September 25, 1990.)
2023 California Code › Education Code - EDC › TITLE 3 - POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION › DIVISION 7 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES › PART 51 - EMPLOYEES › CHAPTER 3 - Employment › ARTICLE 1 - General Provisions › Section 87481.

87481. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 87478 and 87480, the governing board of a community college district may employ any qualified individual as a temporary faculty member for a complete school year, but not less than one semester or quarter during a school year unless the date of rendering first paid service begins during the second semester or third quarter and prior to March 15th. The employment of these persons shall be based upon the need for additional faculty during a particular semester, quarter, or year because a faculty member has been granted leave for a semester, quarter, or year, or is experiencing long-term illness, and shall be limited, in number of persons so employed, to that need, as determined by the governing board.
Any person employed for one complete school year as a temporary employee shall, if reemployed for the following school year in a vacant faculty position, be classified by the governing board as a contract employee and the previous year’s employment as a temporary employee shall be deemed a year of employment as a contract employee for purposes of acquiring permanent status.
For purposes of this section “vacant position” means a position in which the employee is qualified to serve and which is not filled by a regular or contract employee. It shall not include a position which would be filled by a regular or contract employee except for the fact that such employee is on leave.

(a) Notwithstanding any other law, a person who is employed to teach adult or community college classes for not more than 67 percent of the hours per week considered a full-time assignment for regular employees having comparable duties shall be classified as a temporary employee, and shall not become a contract employee under Section 87604. If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the terms of a collective bargaining agreement in effect on or before January 1, 2009, the provisions of this section shall govern the employees subject to that agreement upon the expiration of the agreement.
(b) Service as a substitute on a day-to-day basis by persons employed under this section shall not be used for purposes of calculating eligibility for contract or regular status.
(c) (1) Service in professional ancillary activities by persons employed under this section, including, but not necessarily limited to, governance, staff development, grant writing, and advising student organizations, shall not be used for purposes of calculating eligibility for contract or regular status unless otherwise provided for in a collective bargaining agreement applicable to a person employed under this section.
(2) This subdivision may not be construed to affect the requirements of subdivision (d) of Section 84362.
(Amended by Stats. 2008, Ch. 84, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2009.)

(c) The names of part-time faculty should be listed in the schedule of classes rather than just described as “staff.”
(d) Part-time faculty should be considered to be an integral part of their departments and given all the rights normally afforded to full-time faculty in the areas of book selection, participation in department activities, and the use of college resources, including, but not necessarily limited to, telephones, copy machines, supplies, office space, mail boxes, clerical staff, library, and professional development.

87483. Notwithstanding any other provision, the governing board of a community college district may establish regulations that allow academic employees to reduce their workload from full-time to part-time duties. The regulations shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following if the employees wish to reduce their workload and maintain retirement benefits pursuant to Section 22713 of this code or Section 20900 of the Government Code:
(a) For employees subject to coverage under the Defined Benefit Program under the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan, the regulations shall include all requirements for participation in the reduced workload program pursuant to Section 22713.

(1) The employee shall have reached the age of 55 prior to reduction in workload.
(2) The employee shall have been employed full time in an academic position or a position requiring certification qualifications, or both, for at least 10 years of which the immediately preceding five years were full-time employment.
(3) During the period immediately preceding a request for a reduction in workload, the employee shall have been employed full time in an academic position or a position requiring certification qualifications, or both, for a total of at least five years without a break in service. For purposes of this subdivision, sabbaticals and other approved leaves of absence shall not constitute a break in service. Time spent on a sabbatical or other approved leave of absence shall not be used in computing the five-year full-time service requirement prescribed by this subdivision.
(4) The option of part-time employment shall be exercised at the request of the employee and can be revoked only with the mutual consent of the employer and the employee.
(5) The minimum part-time employment shall be the equivalent of one-half of the number of days of service required by the employee’s contract of employment during his or her final year of service in a full-time position.
(6) The period of this part-time employment shall not exceed five years.
(7) The period of part-time employment shall not extend beyond the end of the college year during which the employee reaches his or her 70th birthday.

(2) The employee shall receive health benefits as provided in Section 53201 of the Government Code in the same manner as a full-time employee.

2023 California Code › Education Code - EDC › TITLE 3 - POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION › DIVISION 7 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES › PART 51 - EMPLOYEES › CHAPTER 3 - Employment › ARTICLE 1 - General Provisions › Section 87484.

87484. (a) In the event a regular employee of a community college district has tenure as a full-time regular employee of the district, any assignment or employment of such employee in addition to his or her full-time regular assignment may be terminated by the governing board of the district at any time.
(b) Any assignment or employment of a contract employee in addition to his or her full-time assignment may be terminated by the governing board of the district at any time.

87485. Except as provided in Section 87744, any contract or agreement, express or implied, made by any employee to waive the benefits of this chapter or any part thereof is null and void.
Notwithstanding provisions of this or any other section of this code, governing boards of community college districts may employ persons in academic positions on less than a full-time basis.
(Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1302, Sec. 85. Effective September 25, 1990.)

87486. The governing board of any community college district may employ or engage as an independent contractor a suitably skilled person to serve as limited-term or part-time reader assistant in connection with instruction in composition and writing, and in mathematics, to faculty. Any person employed as a reader shall not be deemed to be employed in a faculty position, and, unless otherwise determined by the governing board, shall not be subject to the provisions of Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 88000) of Part 51 of this division. The governing board may pay hourly or unit compensation rates as it deems proper for the services rendered. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section not to authorize an increase in the number of students who may be assigned to any class, but to provide an opportunity for improvement in the quality of student writing and mathematics abilities through more frequent assignments of compositions and more work in mathematics made possible by the employment of suitably trained persons to assist the instructor in the careful marking and analysis of the students’ work. Furthermore, the means adopted for employing persons as reader assistants is not intended as an encroachment upon the merit system of public employment, but is adopted as the most practical arrangement, since most work of such nature will be done as part-time work and in the home.

(a) The governing board of any community college district may establish a faculty internship program pursuant to regulations adopted by the board of governors and may employ, as faculty interns within the program, graduate students enrolled in the California State University, the University of California, or any other accredited institution of higher education, or, in vocational and technical fields where a master’s degree is not generally expected or available, persons who are within one year of meeting the regular faculty minimum qualifications. Persons who meet the regular faculty minimum qualifications, but who lack teaching experience, may also be included in internship programs authorized by this section to the extent authorized by the board of governors.
(b) A student employed as a faculty intern shall be employed as a temporary faculty member under Section 87482.5 and shall meet the minimum qualifications for faculty interns set by the board of governors. The board of governors shall adopt regulations to implement faculty intern programs, including requirements for mentoring of each intern.

87488. Whenever the governing board of a community college district, by formal action, determines that because of impending curtailment of or changes in the manner of performing services, the best interests of the district would be served by encouraging the retirement of academic employees and that the retirement will result in a net savings to the district, an additional two years of service shall be credited under the Defined Benefit Program of the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan to an academic employee pursuant to Section 22714 if all of the conditions set forth in that section are satisfied.
