Administrative Responsibilities


Overview

  • For each course you teach, you receive an instructor contract listing the terms and conditions of your employment, as well as your compensation rate and payment date.
  • Please sign and return the white copy to your program planning department prior to the first class meeting to receive your compensation.
  • Retain the yellow copy for your records.

Anything stated in any communication with a UC Extension employee, whether oral or written, concerning terms and conditions of UC Extension employment, including but not limited to courses, course content, schedule, and stipend, is not intended by the University to be enforceable and binding unless and until stated in writing in a University of California Extension instructor agreement, signed by the instructor and an authorized UC Extension representative.

Agreements are made between instructors and UC Irvine Extension on a course-by-course basis and instructors have no guarantee, expressed or implied, of continued teaching with UC Irvine in any capacity. UC Irvine Extension may offer courses previously taught by an instructor at any time in the future using another instructor.
 

Compensation

  • All new instructors (non-UC Irvine employees) must bring all necessary identification to the Business Office and complete a hiring packet before they can begin teaching.
  • The payment schedule on your contract is determined by the date of your last class meeting.
  • Your paycheck will be issued only after you have successfully submitted your graded class roster.
  • Checks are normally issued on the first of the month following the last class meeting, providing the grade roster is received.
  • For courses that end after the 15th of the month, payment will be made the first of the following month (and following the receipt of the graded class roster), i.e. for courses ending on 9/20, payment will be made on 11/1.
  • If you are a UC faculty member, compensation will be included on your regular monthly paycheck.
 

 

  • If a course is canceled prior to the first meeting, no compensation will be granted.
  • If a course is discontinued after the first meeting, you will be compensated for the one class meeting at the rate set by your program manager.
  • Deductions will be made for Withholding Tax.
  • As a UC Irvine Extension instructor, you are automatically enrolled in the university's mandatory retirement savings plan (DCP saving) and are subjected to a 7.5% deduction of gross earnings from each paycheck. These pre-tax deductions are accessible to you when you terminate your employment with the university. For more information on the DCP program, you may request a booklet from Monica Prentice at (949) 824-2239. Please consult your tax advisor to understand how this could affect your overall tax situation.
