Benefits
Los Rios Community College District offers competitive salaries and
a very comprehensive employee benefits package to include medical

holidays, 15 days' vacation yearly (with increases after 5 & 10

professional development opportunities with the district and
financial support and/or paid time off to complete external
academic studies. You are eligible for the aforementioned benefits
as a regular employee with a permanent assignment of 0.50 FTE or
greater. To calculate this position's FTE, take the number of hours
per week divided by 40, to get the percentage of hours worked. Then
take the number of months worked divided by 12, to get the
percentage of work year. Then take the percentage of hours worked
multiplied by the percentage of months worked to get the position's
FTE (e.g., a position that is 30 hours per week with a work year of
10 months: 30/40 = 0.75; 10/12 = 0.8333; 0.75 * 0.8333 = 0.625
FTE). For the full LRCEA contract agreement details click here.
