If you are paid an annual salary and want to determine your
bi-weekly gross, divide your annual salary by 365 days (number of days in a
year that covers the City's current fiscal year July 1, 2005 through June 30,
2006) and multiply by 14 (days in a pay period).
If you are paid a daily rate (Trade Titles) and want to determine
your bi-weekly gross, multiply your daily salary by 10 (number of workdays in
a pay period).
Also, please keep in mind that calculations affecting your bi-weekly
gross reflect the number of days in the year. In leap years the calculations
are based on 366 days; in non-leap years these calculations are based on 365
days. Your annual salary remains the same regardless of whether it is a leap
year or not. Your bi-weekly gross changes slightly in the first pay period of
a leap year and the first pay period after the leap year ends due to the one
day difference. Fiscal Year 2006 beginning July 1, 2005 is
a non-leap year. The City's last Fiscal Leap Year was 2004 which included February
29, 2004.
Employees in this group are paid utilizing what is referred
to in the Payroll Management System as a "Daily Salary Amount" (DSA). The DSA
is computed as follows:
DSA = Number of Hours in Semester x Hourly Rate
Number of Paychecks in Semester
x 10
Under normal circumstances the gross of an employee's check
will be equivalent to the DSA x 10 (the PMS system considers this to be the
number of workdays in a bi-weekly pay period). When applicable, pay items such
as substitution payments, deductions for excessive absences, and retroactive
pay due to late pay start will affect the gross amount of a payroll check.
Information on Hours in Semester and Hourly Rate are obtained
from the Personnel Data Form (PDF) which is received from the Office of the
Dean of Faculty. The paydate schedule for Adjuncts and Overloads will be determined
by the Academic Calendar for the semester and will be submitted to the CUNY
Office of Faculty & Staff Relations for review. The paydate schedule for Continuing
Education Teachers will be determined by the Human Resources Office based upon
the class schedule submitted by the Office of Continuing Education.
Faculty who perform substitutions are paid by means of a One
Time Payment. This payment may or may not be on a separate payroll check depending
upon whether or not the faculty member is working a regular assignment during
the course of the semester. Substitution payments are paid in approximately
six to eight weeks from the date of the actual substitution.
In accordance with the Professional Staff Congress collective
bargaining agreement, an Adjunct in a teaching or non-teaching title who on
July 1, shall have worked six semesters over a period of the preceding three
years and who has not received a movement within salary schedule during that
period of time shall receive a movement within salary schedule to the next higher
dollar amount. For purposes of determining eligibility for this movement within
salary schedule at Kingsborough, a semester shall include winter and summer
session. For eligible employees who work the Summer session retroactive monies
dating back to July 1 are paid on the first scheduled payroll check of the Fall
semester.
There are some items on the check stub which are not applicable
for employees in this group. Due to the fact that the total amount due the employee
for the semester is simply divided into equal installments and paid in accordance
with the previously determined paydate schedule, the Pay Period appearing on
the stub is not applicable. Also, the stub indicates that payment is for 10
units. This figure does not represent hours. As indicated above, the PMS System
considers a bi-weekly pay period to contain 10 workdays. This figure is automatically
printed on the check stubs, although it does not specifically pertain to this
category of employees.
Employees working in these titles are paid only for the hours
that have been included on timesheets and submitted to the Human Resources Office.
Late submission of timesheets will result in late payment. In order to insure
that you are paid on a timely basis timesheets are to be turned in to the Human
Resources Office each Monday morning. Employees working in these titles are
paid on a two-week lag.
Miscellaneous Pay Adjustments will be utilized to pay an employee
for unused accrued Annual Leave at the end of the Fiscal Year. Miscellaneous
Pay Adjustments may also be utilized for error correction purposes.
