Universal Citation: OH Admin Code 3344-74-01
Current through all regulations passed and filed through March 18, 2024
(A) In addition to twelve-month full-time positions, Cleveland state provides nine- and ten-month full-time professional and classified staff contracts to some of its staff. Under this option the following general policies and specific issues for professional and classified staff shall apply.
(B) Policy
(1) Nine and ten-month full-time positions
("nine/ten positions") shall be available to both classified and professional
staff. Part-time nine/ten positions shall not be available under the policies
and conditions noted in this rule.
(2) A nine/ten employee working one hundred
per cent time (forty hours per week) shall be considered a full-time employee
("nine/ten employee").
(3) CSU
shall provide the full complement of fringe benefits to employees in nine/ten
positions. Waiting periods for vision/dental coverage and fee waiver benefits
apply to nine/ten employees.
(4)
Current fee waiver/staff development policy requires that the employee be
actively employed to receive benefits. If a nine/ten employee has received a
contract for the following academic year, the employee may utilize the fee
waiver/staff development program in the summer.
(5) No PERS service credit shall be earned
during the summer by a nine/ten employee, unless the employee has a
supplemental contract earning at least two hundred fifty dollars per
month.
(C) Full-time professional staff employees
(1) Nine/ten
month employees shall accrue vacation at the rate of 7.4 hours per pay period,
but shall only accrue vacation for the length of their nine/ten contract. If a
nine/ten employee has an additional assignment over the summer, the employee
shall accrue additional vacation on a pro-rated basis (based on full-time
employment stated in contract) for the length of the additional
assignment.
(2) Vacation may only
be used during the time the nine/ten employee is scheduled to work during the
term of the primary employment contract.
(3) The maximum vacation accrual that may be
carried over beyond June thirtieth by nine/ten employees shall be the same as
for all other full-time contract employees. That limit is currently thirty
days.
(4) Nine/ten employees shall
accrue sick leave at their current rate of 5.0 hours per pay period, but shall
only accrue sick leave for the length of their nine/ten contract. If a nine/ten
employee has an additional assignment over the summer, the employee shall
accrue additional sick leave on a prorated basis (based on the fte stated in
the contract) for the length of the additional assignment.
(5) There is no limit to the amount of
carry-forward sick leave for nine/ten employees.
(6) Nine/ten employees shall have the option
of having their salary paid over nine, ten, or twelve months.
(D) Full-time classified employees
(1) After the first year of employment,
nine/ten employees shall earn vacation at the full-time rate, but shall only
accrue vacation for the length of their nine/ten assignment. If a nine/ten
employee has an additional assignment over the summer, the employee shall
accrue additional vacation on a pro-rated basis based on hours in paid status
for the length of the additional assignment.
(2) Vacation may only be used during the time
the employee is scheduled to work during the term of the primary
assignment.
(3) The maximum
vacation accrual that may be carried over beyond June thirtieth by nine/ten
employees shall be the same as for all other classified full-time employees,
that limit is thirty days.
(4)
Nine/ten employees shall accrue sick leave at their current rate, 4.6 hours per
pay period, but shall only accrue sick leave for the length of their nine/ten
assignment. If a nine/ten employee has an additional assignment over the
summer, the employee shall accrue additional sick leave on a prorated basis
based on hours in paid status for the length of the additional
assignment.

to the amount of carry-forward sick leave for nine/ten employees.
