LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 955, Burton. Community colleges: temporary employees. Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law provides for the employment of faculty as temporary, contract, or regular employees. Existing law requires that a person employed to teach adult or community college classes for not more than 60% of the hours per week of a full-time employee having comparable duties, excluding substitute service, be classified as a temporary employee and not become a contract employee. This bill would prohibit service in professional ancillary activities by persons employed under this provision, including, but not necessarily limited to, governance, staff development, grant writing, and advising student organizations, from being used for purposes of calculating eligibility for contract or regular status, unless otherwise provided for in a collective bargaining agreement applicable to a person employed under this provision. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 87482.5 of the Education Code is amended to read: 87482.5. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any person who is employed to teach adult or community college classes for not more than 60 percent of the hours per week considered a full-time assignment for regular employees having comparable duties shall be classified as a temporary employee, and shall not become a contract employee under Section 87604. (b) Service as a substitute on a day-to-day basis by persons employed under this section shall not be used for purposes of calculating eligibility for contract or regular status.
