Top Temporary Faculty Questions

How often are background checks needed?
A background check is no longer valid after three years, and if there is a break in service for said employee.

Are Lecturers eligible for Benefits?
Yes, so long as their overall percent of time is greater than 50% (can be across multiple positions).

I have a Lecturer who is going to return in the Fall, can they keep benefits over the Summer?
Yes, the HRSC can place them on Short Work Break for the Summer and return them in the Fall, keeping their benefits active.

Why did my Lecturer receive a smaller paycheck this month?
Lecturer appointments are hired on contracts, and compensation is calculated based on the number of working days in the contract period, and paid on a monthly schedule. By the end of the contract term, the lecturer will have received their full compensation. 

For example, the Spring 2021 contract term was 1/4/21 - 5/31/21. Because January is a partial month, there are fewer working days in that month than in February through May. A lecturer would receive a slightly smaller paycheck on 1/31 than they would the remaining months of the contract. 

Please refer to Payroll North America to view a summary of Projected and Actual earnings for contracts.
