HR3110 - Regular Employment - Full-time and Part-time

1. Institutional Regulation
   
   A Regular employee may be hired into either a full-time or a part-time Regular position. A part-time Regular position must have an FTE (full-time equivalent) of at least .500 or greater.
    
2. Procedure
   1. Nonfaculty - The College shall use a standard fiscal year of July 1 to June 30th when determining the FTE of a Regular Nonfaculty position.
      1. Full-time: A position with an FTE of 1.000 (40 hours a week) for the entire fiscal year. The standard DMACC fiscal year contains 261 days. If an employee is assigned a compressed work schedule (e.g. 4-day workweek), with the approval of the supervisor, their position shall still be considered full-time as long as the work schedule contains 40 hours per week.
      2. Part-time: A position with an FTE of less than 1.000. This typically includes those with a work schedule of less than 40 hours a week or those scheduled for less than the entire fiscal year.
