Section 4: Money Matters Getting Paid The most up-to-date salary scales can be found here: Salary Scales
It is the policy of Hagerstown Community College that the College will maintain a competitive compensation program consistent with available fiscal resources and in compliance with federal and state laws and regulations pertaining to wage and hour practices. The College Board of Trustees reviews and establishes the annual salary scales for all employees and is committed to maintaining competitive compensation for all employee groups as compared to similar public institutions in the state and region. To establish fair and competitive compensation, the College will periodically review salaries internally and externally. For important dates including pay dates, please consult the Faculty Calendar on the Academic Affairs Office webpage of the HCC website at https://www.hagerstowncc.edu/docs/academic-affairs/faculty-calendars (requires login). Full–time Faculty Overload in Base Load Semesters Faculty overload applies in base load semesters, normally in fall and spring. This provision also applies to 11-month faculty during summer terms. These faculty, by contract, have a third semester as part of their base load. For more information concerning overload compensation, consult the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs and Student Services. Third Semester Compensation Full-time faculty who teach credit courses during a third semester (normally summer), beyond their contractual requirements, would be paid according to their academic rank as follows: Professor $1,040.00 per credit Associate Professor $990.00 per credit Assistant Professor $950.00 per credit Instructor $940.00 per credit (Note: These figures reflect FY24 funding and are subject to change) Note that the above provisions do not apply to 11-month faculty, since their base salary at the time of hire is established to cover three semesters of teaching. Also, as applies to third semester compensation: • There will be no prescribed upper limit to the number of credits taught per faculty during the third semester, but the academic officers are authorized to limit teaching loads, on a case-by-case basis, as may be necessary in their judgment to assure quality instruction. • The criteria for management of class sizes, course cancellations, and running tutorial sections of classes is the same for fall, spring, and summer classes, and does not vary based on higher compensation rates in the third semester. These criteria are to be established and adjusted as needed by the Vice President of Academic Affairs and Student Services.
