• How your adjunct/overload salary is calculated: The contact hour value of your course is multiplied by the credit/contact hour rate for your rank.
  
  Divide your total by the number of payrolls in the semester (usually 7) to calculate the biweekly gross amount you will receive per paycheck, e.g., an instructor teaching one three-credit class: 3 x $1,138 = $3,414, divided by 7 = $487.71 gross per paycheck.
  
  
• FA wall calendars: Get this year’s wall calendar from your EC rep or in one of the adjunct offices. Due to popular demand, we ask that you take only one!
  
  
• The FA thanks the building trades: The FA is grateful to the trade unionists who worked diligently with college staff to get the Riverhead Building on the Ammerman campus ready as quickly as they could.
