1) New earn type, Excess Workload Compensation EWC, has been created. It is to be used in conjunction with academic student employee (ASE) job codes established under the UW/UAW contract. The EWC document also provides information on the calculation of additional FTE for academic student employees when it becomes necessary to increase their FTE to achieve a certain number of hours available for assigned work during an academic quarter.

Descriptions for the above non-service job codes are provided in Attachment B to the Service Expectancy document (attached) along with already existing non-service job codes for graduate appointees (0860, 0861, 0863 and 0864). Descriptions for UAW Local 4121 ASE job codes are provided in Attachment A to this document. The Service Expectancy and ASE Determination document is intended as a guide for classifying students into the correct service or non-service job codes.

Unlike the existing ASE codes, the new appointee codes are established in HEPPS as a range. Units may input any appropriate salary within the range rather than inputting a step as is necessary with the existing ASE codes. A student appointed in one of the new job codes should receive a salary equal to what s/he would qualify for if appointed to an ASE code in the appointing unit. (For instance, if the unit has 3 ASE appointment levels (Entry, PDRA 1 and PDRA 2) the salary of an individual appointed as an 0830 ARA should be paid equal to his or her status as an ASE. If the individual is a doctoral candidate and qualifies for the PDRA 2 level in the department, s/he should be appointed at the PDRA 2 rate as an ARA.)
