DIRECT DEPOSIT

How do I use Lane's Automatic Direct Deposit? 

You need to complete, date, and sign the Direct Payroll Deposit Authorization form and attach a voided check or written verification of the financial institution's routing number and your account number. These forms can be obtained from, and should be returned to, Human Resources. You may have your money deposited into several different accounts at different financial institutions.

E-CLASS (Employee Class)

Hourly classified employees can be classified as either a C3 or C4 employee. A C3 employee is someone who works in a regularly scheduled position. A C4 employee is a casual, on-call employee, or some student designated positions. Your department will determine what your e-class is. Many of your benefits are dependent upon your e-class.

Part-time hourly employees classified as C3 working at least 700 hours in any consecutive 12-month period and are receiving the $37.50 per pay period benefit stipend shall be eligible to use the Lane Community College Employee Health Clinic. Regardless of whether the employee visits the clinic or not, there will be a $2.00 per pay period payroll deduction for this service. 

HOURLY LIMITS

Is there a limit to the number of hours I can work?

Yes. A less than .500 FTE hourly-classified employee cannot work more than a total of 1039 hours a year. This is based upon a rolling 12-month calendar. The total of 1039 includes hours worked in all departments (if you claim sick leave on your timesheet, those hours are also included in the 1039).

STIPEND IN LIEU OF INSURANCE

There are no college-paid insurance benefits for hourly-classified employees. However, after the completion of 700 hours of classified timesheet employment in any consecutive 12-month period, employees classified as C3 shall receive a benefit stipend of $37.50 per pay period. Hours worked will be monitored on a semi-monthly basis to establish eligibility. This stipend shall be added to the employee's salary. Once initial eligibility is established, cumulative hours worked will be monitored on April 1 and October 1 of each year. In order to maintain eligibility for the stipend for another six-month period, the employee must have worked at least 700 hours in the 12-month period prior to these review dates. The stipend will not be paid in any pay period in which the employee does not work.

NOTICES OF VACANCY

Am I eligible to apply for internal postings?

Yes, upon meeting certain eligibility requirements. You must have been hired by means of a documented competitive hiring process, have completed 1040-hour trial service (your total hours since you have been at the college count toward your 1040 hour trial service. This is not to be confused with the 1039 hour limit in a 12-month rolling calendar), and have worked at least 520 hours in the preceding twelve months. If you are unsure about your total hours, you can check with your department or call Human Resources.

PAYDAY

When do I receive my paychecks?

Payday is the 10th and 25th of each month. If the 10th or 25th falls on a weekend or a college holiday, payday is the last working day prior to the weekend or holiday.

PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM (PERS)

SALARY SCHEDULE

Is there a standard salary schedule for part-time hourly employees?

Yes, there is a part-time classified hourly pay schedule. The pay schedule is organized by your level and step and whether you are paid at 100% or 80% parity.

SICK LEAVE

Employees who are in a PERS qualifying position shall earn sick leave on a pro-rated basis. An employee shall notify the supervisor prior to the need for sick leave or as soon as possible after knowledge of such need. Accumulation of sick leave shall be unlimited. Sick leave should be used when an employee is unable to work due to illness, injury or medical appointments.

NOTE: if you are working hourly, but have retired with PERS, you will not accrue, nor will you be able to report sick leave on your timesheet.

TUITION WAIVER - EMPLOYEE

Less than .500 FTE employees (see note below) may register for one class per term tuition free, as long as attendance by the employee does not conflict with the employees' regular working hours, except as approved by the employees' supervisor. In addition, less than .500 FTE employees may register for and attend unlimited classes if the employee has worked 700 hours or more in the past twelve months.

TUITION WAIVER - FAMILY

Hourly classified employees (see note below) are eligible for one tuition waiver per eligible family member.

NOTE: TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE EMPLOYEE OR FAMILY TUITION WAIVER, YOUR E-CLASS (EMPLOYEE CLASS) MUST BE A C3 - TALK TO YOUR SUPERVISOR IF YOU SHOULD HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING HOW YOUR E-CLASS WAS DETERMINED

UNION DUES

Will dues be taken out of my paycheck?

Yes. If you are classified as a C3 employee, fair share dues are required to be taken out of your check. The cost of the fee is pro-rated based upon the number of hours you work in the pay period. If you would like to join the union, you will need to contact a union representative to obtain the necessary paperwork.

WORKING HOURS 

Rest Period

All employees shall be granted a fifteen-minute rest period after each 4 hours of continuous work. Rest periods shall be utilized as feasible with the operational needs of the College as determined by its supervisors.

Lunch Period

Employees shall be granted a lunch period of not less than one-half hour after completion of five hours of work. Such lunch period shall be without pay and utilized as feasible with the operational needs of the College.
