Minpunten
I am paid $1700 per each 5.5 week course I teach - which would be acceptable if that was all I was required to do. On top of teaching the course, adjuncts do New Faculty Orientation, a Sandbox course in Blackboard, and 8+ hours mandatory training annual HR type training. I asked HR how these hours are accounted for in my paycheck (I have taught 3 courses for $1700 each in 8 months) and this was the reply: "While we don’t have a detailed breakdown of hours tied to each specific activity, the rate is designed to encompass all required responsibilities associated with the role, including mandatory compliance trainings and onboarding activities."
