Background/Eligibility Criteria

The Memorandum of Agreement between the City University of New York and the Professional Staff Congress/CUNY contains a provision to pay appropriate compensation for Department Chairpersons working the summer.

Department Chairpersons designated by the College President will be paid one-ninth (1/9th) of their annual salary for every month (120 hrs) assigned over their regular academic year assignment. One hundred and twenty hours constitute a one-month summer assignment. The one hundred and twenty hours need not occur in the same calendar month.

Refer to the memorandum dated 12/2/02 from Vice Chancellor Brenda Richardson Malone for eligibility criteria.

Agency Actions

Payments for work performed through 8/6/03 may be submitted for check dated 8/7/03.

Payments for work performed from 8/7/03 through the end of summer may be submitted for check dated 9/4/03.

The amount to be paid in pay period 9C represents the portion of the total amount based on the percentage of total hours worked as of that date.

For example: If an employees' salary is $93507 and the employee worked an additional month (120 hours), the employee is due $10,389.67 for the summer. If the employee completed 90 hours by 8/6/03, the employee is due 75% of $10,389.67($7,792.25) in check dated 8/7/03 and 25% ($2597.42) in pay period 11C check dated 9/4/03.
