PC (Paycode Conversion)
=======================

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF TOOL
-------------------------

The Paycode is the two-digit designator used by the computer 
system to identify the type of faculty assignment for 
purposes of computing the proper pay for the specific class 
section being taught. It is made up of the pay type and pay 
rate. The Paycode Conversion has been modified to allow the 
user to better discriminate among the types of assignments 
for schedule building and budget monitoring purposes. This 
conversion has already taken place at all the colleges 
although the system will still accept the old pay codes so 
that historical data can be compatible. Paycodes also feed 
into the Program Cost Analysis System and Schedule Cost 
Modeling. The conversion of Paycode has made these tools 
more accurate and useful.

IMPORTANT FEATURES OF TOOL

The basic tool associated with the Paycode Conversion 
provides the user with seven FOCUS reps that are useful in 
checking faculty assignments and in monitoring loads and 
budget costs. Other FOCUS reports wlll be added to the tool 
as users' needs are identified.

WHO WOULD USE THIS TOOL?
------------------------

This tool would be used by Personnel Technicians, Deans and 
Department Chairs to verify the accuracy of assignments and 
monitor loads and budget impacts as class schedules are 
built, as well as to produce trend reports for instructional 
management.

HOW DOES THE TOOL SUPPORT EFFCTIVE TEACHlNG AND LEARNING?
---------------------------------------------------------

In times of constrained financial resources, these tools 
will allow Deans and Department Chairs and other 
administrators to monitor the distribution of faculty loads 
and budgetary impacts in order to optimize course offerings 
to meet student needs.
