HCM: Local Configuration Guide - Faculty Workload

This document contains the configuration decisions made for use in deployment of the Faculty Workload (CEMLI) Module which is configured in the Oracle’s PeopleSoft  Campus Solutions 9.2 application and reliant on data synchronized from Oracle’s PeopleSoft HRMS 9.2 application.  As such, all additional documentation must be in agreement with the related items described herein.  Should conflict arise with information contained in another document, the data in this document shall be considered valid and that of the other shall be deemed incorrect.

The FWL Configuration and Decision Guide explains necessary tables needed to setup an institution in the PeopleSoft system. The order of the configuration tables presented in this document adheres to the table setup sequence required to successfully set up all tables.

Institution BU Mapping

Maps the Campus Solutions institution code to the relevant HR Business Unit and Company code in HCM.

Institution BU Mapping page will be configured by the ctcLink Project Team. This page will not require changes  unless a college redefining their institutional/organizational structure to add another college to their district.

FWL Employee Class Config

Defines the allowable Employee Classifications to be synchronized from HCM to display in the Maintain Faculty Workload Position/Job Data pane.

Each college will need to determine which employee classifications will be paid through Faculty Workload.  The most common Employee Class would be Part Time Faculty, however Full Time Faculty being assigned to teach a class as ‘Moonlight’ will also have that pay calculated through Faculty Workload.  Colleges who additionally have moonlight appointments, for such things as Independent Study classes for certain Exempt staff may also need to include that Employee Classification to this table.

Example are ‘FAC’ for Full Time Faculty and ‘PTF’ for Part-Time Faculty.  This will limit the displayed active jobs in the Maintain Faculty Workload  HCM Data page and thereby reduce the risk of faculty pay calculations being made against an incorrect job record.

FWL Earn Code Configuration

FWL Earn Code Configuration page supports the entry of an Employee Classification value and a corresponding Earn Code to set which codes on the CTC Earnings Distribution page should be ignored in Faculty Workload.

Earn Codes are controlled in HCM through the Payroll interface.

Typically this is configured for the FAC Employee Class to EXCLUDE the FTF code from ever showing up as a valid Earn Code on the FWL Pay Line.

FWL Category Table

The FWL Category Table enables a college to stores category codes and related descriptions that can be assigned to a component in the Subject Workload table.  Category references are used to denote the workload or teaching load hours associated with calculating pay for a specific subject/component combination.

Pre-defining categories with a description of the number of weekly contact hours required to achieve full time allows a college to easily tag the Subject Component Multiplier used to properly calculate the FTE% for each teaching assignment.

FWL Speed Keys

Defines the values to be automatically populated to the Calculation Configuration page for each subject/component when the Populate Defaults button is used.  Only created if the Contract Type has the check box checked to use Speed Keys.

This is intended for ease of configuration setup and is not intended for college identification and input.

Assignment Type

Partially delivered and partially custom, this page holds additional information needed for contract calculation in FWL.

Min Contract Rate: controls dollars per hour (we’re not calling it hourly rate), Note: if you add hours in the grid after having hours already provided elsewhere then it can double up hours in the calculation

Enrolled Student Threshold: this is the student count number that causes a change in calc for any reason (i.e. 25 is the threshold and 30 are enrolled, so 5 would cause extra pay based on college logic)

Final Exam Fee: if there is an additional final exam fee that should be added on calc (this would get distributed with total pay, not tacked on at the end)

Term Max Load Rate: this is the maximum dollar value if you were working 100% for that term, so if you were working a %FTE then you could say the instructor would earn FTE*Max to get calculated pay

Per Credit Rate: As it says, the number of credits would then be multiplied into the per credit rate

Excess Calc Rate: stores credit threshold (any class offered above the threshold would then be calculated at the rate stored here)

Co-op Max Std Enrolled: this is where FTE is based on number of student enrolled against a maximum enrollment number, (i.e. if 10 were possible, 5 are enrolled, so the class now is worth 50% FTE), the maximum value is stored here

Flat Rate: any time the contract is calculated you could have a flat rate added on calc

Per Student Calc Amt or %: this is a per student dollar value, or you get a specific % above the rate of the class per student (i.e. 30 students are enrolled, 25 is the threshold, and the extra 5 would either be a 5*flat fee or 5/30*percentage or similar)

FWL Contract Type

On the Contract Type Setup tab (page) the type of contract (instruction or non-instruction) is defined, the contract short and long description and whether or not the contract will utilize Speed Keys.

On the Field Configuration tab (page), the fields are selected that will define what appears in the Calculation Configuration, Calculation Formula, Speed Key Setup and the Calculation Results in the Maintain Faculty Workload page.  On the Contract Clause tab the standard contract disclaimer language is entered.  This language is pulled into the Contract Template when the template is built.  It can be edited from that location before being displayed on the View Contract link from within the Maintain Faculty Workload page, or from the Faculty Center  Contract Info tab

FWL Copy Contract Type Setup

This configuration page allows a college user to copy a given contract type to allow creation of new contract types without having to configure from scratch.

FWL Copy Contract Type configuration page allows you to leverage an existing Contract Type configuration for one contract and copy that whole configuration to use for another NEW Contract Type.  For example, you have a standard annual contract and you want another contract to use for summer that is essentially the same configuration and logic, but you want to change just one little thing, you can copy an existing one, call it a new name and tweak just what you want different without having to build it all from scratch.

FWL Question Setup

If a college wants to include interactive questions that employees must answer before accepting a contract the college will define a set of questions to include on contracts.

The Question Setup page is global, but colleges will define their own unique set of questions by prefacing the Question ID with the three digit college code.

For example:

###_001, if choosing to number the questions or

###_OAE, if choosing to use an alpha or alpha/numeric designation.

Copy Configuration Calculation

This configuration area allows college users to copy calculation logic from term to term.

Each new term will require colleges to 'roll forward' the FWL calculation configurations to the next term.  Since there can be significant changes to the pay methodology or classes associated with a specific pay methodology, the FWL Calculation Configurations are term specific.  The process is to 'copy' the prior term's configuration to the next term and make any necessary changes to the new term's formula or selection criteria before beginning calculation of pay for the next term.

  • Question Setup (Create your questions.)
  • Question Configuration (Group questions together into a set.)
  • Contract Type, Contract Clauses
    • If you have not yet done so when initially establishing your Contract Type with the associated Field Configuration, go back now and add the necessary clauses.
      • One big paragraph: go faster, but reduces future flexibility
      • Each paragraph is it’s own clause: take longer up front, but allows you to re-order or selectively remove paragraphs  from term to term

Instructor Term Workload

Delivered table that should contain non-instructional assignments that are associated with FWL.

The Instructor Term Workload page is a Campus Solutions page designed to display all instructor class assignments, including the job that assignment is associated with.  This page has been customized for FWL to allow users to add non-instructional “Special Assignment” work to an instructor to be picked up and calculated for instructor pay and full time equivalency for faculty (FTE%).  If an instructor has been assigned to a class, they will have a Term Workload page.  The Term Workload page displays all terms for which an instructor has classes or non-instructional assignments. If an instructor has no assignments, then a new Term Workload page can be added.

Email Template Configuration

Where approval email language is stored for FWL only.

After the User Lists and Process Definitions are established the next step is to define what the standard template will be for each stage of notification.

In addition to the contract approval email templates, an instructor notification template must be configured. Similar to the User List configuration, the naming convention for establishing Email Templates begins with the Institution (or district) code, (e.g. WA170_, WA140_, WA220_) followed by an identifier of the population being notified (e.g. HR, DeanAdmin, Instructor).

Process Definition

Orders the levels of approval in FWL.

Once the User Lists are established, the next step is to define the college or district specific order for approval notifications.

Process definitions are established by adding a new Process ID value.  The Process ID value is prefaced by the institution (or district) identifier, for example WA170 or WA220, followed by a description of the selection population (e.g. HR_UserList, DeanAdmin_UserList).  

Note: Multi-campus districts can establish one Process Definition Process ID and reference it for each institution for consistency across the district.
