Part-Time Course-Based Faculty

Conditions can exist for part-time faculty members that affect how position numbers and suffixes are assigned and paid.

A faculty member may have some or all of the following payment conditions:

• a three week course,
• a course that runs for the entire length of the term,
• an online course that is associated with a two month time span,
• a non-instructional assignment that is to charged to another area, or
• a course that runs for a part-of-term.

  If these payment conditions exist within Banner Student assignments for a faculty member, each of these assignments must be associated with a unique position number/suffix combination. This is because the Faculty Compensation module is creating job assignments and calculating when they should be paid. In the above list of conditions, each assignment is paid at a different time and has different start and end dates on the faculty member’s job assignments.

  If a faculty member's assignments are only operating for one condition, such as two courses running for the entire length of the term that are charged to the same department, the same position number/suffix combination can be used. This is because the payments are added together and are paid and charged for the entire length of the term.

  Warning! When the same position number and suffix combination is used for each faculty assignment in Banner Student, it can result in underpayment or overpayment in the Faculty Compensation module of Banner Human Resources.
