Instructions for HEO Reclassification

The union you belong to depends on the title into which you were hired.

Membership in the union is voluntary. It entitles you to voting rights and the opportunity to work within the union to effect your working conditions.

Although membership in the union is not mandatory, the unions provide welfare benefits for all employees working in titles covered by the union. The agency shop fee is your contribution to that coverage.

Contact your shop steward or call the union directly. Labor Union Organizations can be found by clicking here: Labor Unions

ADJUNCT FAQ'S

An adjunct who has served in the same department for no fewer than six (6) consecutive Fall/Spring semesters (summers excluded) during the three years immediately preceding the appointment, and whom the College intends to reappoint, will be notified on or about May 15 of an appointment for the following Fall and Spring semesters. (Department chairs coordinate recommendations; HR issues the official notice.

Under PSC Article 15.2(a), an adjunct may be assigned up to nine (9) classroom contact hours in a semester at one CUNY college. In addition, the adjunct may teach one (1) additional course up to six (6) hours at a second CUNY college, subject to college needs and compliance with overall workload limits.

If you currently hold a full-time role, there are limitations in teaching hours. Please contact HR or your respective union for further questions. 

When an adjunct holds both teaching and non-teaching appointments, allowable NTA hours are determined using the PSC formula that converts unused teaching capacity to permissible non-teaching hours. Departments should consult HR to ensure assignments comply with Article 15. Paid office/professional hours are separate from this calculation and remain paid at the teaching rate.
