Now that you have had a little time to settle into your fall routine, your EA would like to remind you of a couple of ongoing issues:
1) Door locks. Propping doors open is strongly discouraged for security reasons. However, we may still have some doors that do not lock properly. Please check to make sure that all of your classroom doors lock automatically within five minutes of being opened. Also make sure that your doors shut all the way when closed.
We are working with Facilities to keep track of classrooms with doors that malfunction. If any of your doors do not shut or lock properly, in addition to notifying Facilities, please contact EA president Larry Juchartz at larry.juchartz@mcc.edu.
2) Personal Time. FT faculty (except for SSS and ACSS) have two days of paid Personal Business time every school year. If you wish to take a personal day, you are under no obligation to disclose the reason, even if asked. Personal Business days that are not taken will go into your sick bank.
PT/ADJ faculty have Paid Time Off, which can be used for sickness, emergencies, or personal business.
Please see Article XII of your contract for more details about Sick & Emergency time and Article XIII for more details about Personal Business time.
Want a hard copy of your faculty contract? Please contact our EA Clerk Michele Champion at mccea.office@mcc.edu.
As always, you can contact me (jackie.knoll@mcc.edu) with any questions or concerns.
