Range
Timebase

For an explanation of these terms, see Sections 3 and 4 of
the Lecturers’ Handbook:
http://www.calfac.org/handbook.html
Timebase
• Full-time lecturers have a timebase of 1.0 which
consists of 15 Weighted Teaching Units (WTUs)
per quarter.
• Each class is typically worth 4 WTUs.
• One class = 4 WTUs = 4/15 = 0.266667
• Two classes = 8 WTUs = 8/15 = 0.533333
• Three classes = 12 WTUs = 12/15 = 0.800000
Start Date:
January 07, 2008
End Date:
March 25, 2008
Grade:
A
TimeBase:
0.533333
Monthly Salary:
$1850.67
Salary calculation
What is the full-time monthly salary for a
lecturer with a timebase of 0.533333 and a
monthly salary of $1850.67?
(Two classes = 8 WTUs = 8/15 = 0.533333)
$1850.67 / 0.533333 = $3470
