It is the department’s responsibility to make sure the faculty supervisors and instructors know the appointment percentages of their GSI’s, Readers and Tutors. Faculty supervisors and instructors must inform the ASE of the duties to be performed, and should also specify the amount of time the ASE should spend on each duty. This information should be given as soon as possible, preferably in writing. Early and clear communication in this regard will help ensure that the ASE stays within his or her percentage appointment (GSI) or hourly range (Reader and Tutor) and will help avoid workload disputes. Attachment B to the Agreement Letter may be used as a guideline or simply filled out and given to the ASE to comply with this requirement.
Percentage of time is calculated based on the number of hours worked.
Example:
6-week Session: 40 hrs per week x 6 weeks = 240 hours (100%)
180 hours = 75%
120 hours = 50%
