Part-time faculty are paid $40/hour for completing a workshop. To be paid this rate, you must:

• Log in to a workshop’s Zoom link with your Conestoga credentials. You will be authenticated when you enter the Zoom room and asked to change your name to the preferred name you use at the college;
• Be a part-time faculty (part-time, partial load or sessional) with an active teaching contract at the time you attend a workshop;
• Attend all workshop hours or half hours; and
• Complete any workshop activities. Workshops will only be paid for complete attendance and participation. 

Note: Payment will be made for attending a unique workshop once, even if you decide to attend again to learn more. Once a month, contracts will be created to provide compensation for the completion of workshops from the prior month. Upon your approval of the contract, the funds will appear on your pay stub within a month.

Support staff and administrators teaching part-time at Conestoga and taking the mandatory courses or any EDV workshops outside their typical work hours are eligible for the $40/hour.
