Most noncredit classes have load factor 0.6 and used to be paid on "Salary Type 7". (Emeritus classes and some short-term vocational classes use different pay scales.) Log into your mProfessor account and click on the "View Teaching/ Banked hours reports" link. Here you should see your Salary Type, Salary Step and Salary Group.
The old hourly rate of pay per teaching hour for a noncredit assignment is shown here. On the left side of a pay stub from Spring 2020, you should see a "RATE" that corresponds to the amount in one of the cells.
Below we will run through an example that shows how your pay will appear in Fall 2020 using the new pay scale Appendix B-1 (or "Salary Type 89"). This new salary schedule is based upon Lecture Hour Equivalents (LHE) - also sometimes called "adjusted hours". This is different to your Weekly Teaching Hours (WTH).
To convert weekly teaching hours into LHE, you must multiply your weekly teaching hours (WTH) for the assignment by the load factor of the assignment and by the number of weeks of your assignment divided by 18! For most noncredit assignments, the number of weeks of the assignment is 16, so the LHE of your assignment would be:
# LHE = # WTH * 0.6 * (16/18) = 0.533 * #WTH
Chairs will now be starting to tell faculty members directly what an assignment's number of LHE's is, along with the WTH, so you shouldn't have to do this calculation yourself.
I realize this is complicated, but once we become more familiar with the idea of being paid per LHE rather than the deceptive "weekly teacher hour" that doesn't factor in all the extra work you are doing outside of class, this will be simpler.
