Teacher’s Assistants (TAs)
Sessional Lecturers
Temp Casual

54. Budgeting TAs under one NEW EMPLOYEE
There are 2 distinct groups for TA’s: Grad and Under grad. Have each group under different New Employees
When creating the New Employee in the form 02. NEW EMLOYEEs - INPUT, add the following information:
Under Hourly Rate, enter the hourly rate, enter the appropriate rate for the TA type
In most cases Planners know the total yearly salary amount they have for TA’s
Under the Current Standard hours enter the result of calculating:
(Total Yearly Salary / hourly Rate) / 52
I.E. Our total budget for TA’s is $25,000 and Under grad TA’s are paid $14 per hour, then the current standard hours to enter in the form should be
(25000/14)/52 = hours

55. Adding New Employees to Represent a group of Sessional Lecturers
What Planners KNOW:
Annual Budget I.E. $50,000
238 hours per 3 Units
How many total units they are to teach I.E. 9
Calculate:
Total hours in the year = total units * (238 / 3) = Total Units *
9* = 714
Current Standard Hours per week = Total Hours in year / Weeks in the year
714 / 52 = 13.73
Hourly Rate = (Annual Budget) / (Total hours in the year )
$50,000 / 714 = $70.03

56. Override Existing Employee Master Data
