Partial-Load Registry (Employee Information)

Partial-Load employees MUST register in order to be considered for inclusion on the Partial-Load Registry and receive priority in hiring for Partial-Load assignments.

Yes – once the registry closes on April 30, HR will validate registrants & include months of service

Where two or more partial-load employees would be entitled to be offered the course assignment, the employee with the most service will be offered the first opportunity.

All the partial-loads in question must satisfy the criteria for hiring preference.

The offer of Partial-Load employment is conditional on the College determining that there is sufficient enrolment to warrant the assignment being offered.

In the event that a Partial-Load assignment is offered and accepted, and one (or more) of the courses in that assignment is subsequently cancelled, the College is not obligated to replace the cancelled course offering(s).

As per Collective Agreement article 26.10C

Leave time does not count towards service time accrual.

If an employee is on an approved leave, the employee would be eligible to register as they would be considered currently employed.

The employee may also choose to apply for an extension to the four (4) year period in the event of birth/parental leave, as per Article 26.10 F of the Kaplan Award.

Applications must be received between May 1 and April 30 to be considered as applicants for the following academic year.

Yes, employees must register annually in order to have priority status for the following academic year

Yes, as with current practice, if “stacked authorizations” add up to greater than 6 or less then 12, the employee is considered partial-load.  Total of hours is by employee – not by school/department.

As per Article 26.10 E, registered Partial-Load employees will receive priority in hiring if they are currently employed, or if they have previously been employed as a Partial-Load employee for at least eight (8) months of service as defined in 26.10 C within the last four (4) academic years, and the assignment of such course will not cause the employee to exceed the maximum teaching contact hours for Partial-Load employees. Please refer to Article 26.10 E for more detail.

A list of service credits is prepared by the College and is posted annually in January. If you have specific questions about your service credits or a specific partial load employment concern, please speak with your Chair. If after speaking with your Chair you continue to have specific concerns, please contact humanresources@algonquincollege.com 

The College asks that you keep records of courses that you have taught. If you do not have this information and need this information for a specific reason, please speak with your Chair. 

If you have specific concerns related to your employment as a partial load faculty member, please speak with your Chair who will provide you with information pertinent to your concern. 

Employees may apply for an extension to this period in the event that the employee has given birth to a child or become a parent. See the Kaplan Award (26.10 F) for more details.

There is a question on the Partial-Load Registration form where you can specify the maximum number of teaching contact hours that you are prepared to teach.

If you apply to the Partial-Load Registry more than once in the same year, we will defer to your most recent application (prior to the deadline) when identifying the maximum number of teaching contact hours that you are prepared to teach. Once the April 30 deadline has passed, we will not revise the maximum number of teaching contact hours that you are prepared to teach for that years’ Partial-Load Registry.
