PNL Guidelines
The PCCFA has received many inquiries regarding PNL or ÒPersonal Necessity Leave.Ó Many have asked how many PNL days are allowed and whether the Faculty must state the reason for their PNL. According to the contract:

5.11.3.1 The total number of days allowed in one fiscal year for such leave or leaves shall not exceed six (6) days.
5.11.3.6 Personal necessity leave claimed against accrued sick leave must be so designated on absence and time reports, but reasons for such leave are not required.

Negotiations
It soon again be that time to meet with Administration and negotiate our contract. Do you have issues that you would like addressed? Are there concerns that you feel deserve better attention? Email us at facultyassociation@gmail.com or call us at (626) 585-7261.

“Sunshine Period”
After the District and the FA submit a notice of intent to bargain and exchange initial proposals, the proposals are made available for public viewing prior to the start of negotiations. This allows the general public an opportunity to review and comment on initial proposals.

Welcome!
Welcome to new Faculty Association member Patrick Rock. Glad to have you on board!

STRS Overages
Some FA members have noted that excessive reductions were taken for STRS, but the Faculty Association has been in contact with the Administration to get those numbers straightened putÑand the overages corrected.
