A: There are many ways to calculate this, and they are all inexact estimates. You are the only one who knows how many hours you work per week. (Remember that your payment award will be based on how much you earned in your highest quarter of the year, and not on any of these figures, so don't stress about this.)
----------
Here we base the calculation on a full-time load, defined as 15 teaching units (TUs) per semester, totalling approximately 36 hours of work per week. This means that 1 TU equals approximately 2.4 hours per week.
Number of teaching units you had last semester: ____________
Multiply this amount by 2.4 hours = ____________ = the number of hours you worked per week.

Here we base the calculation on a full-time load, defined as 15 teaching units (TUs) per semester, totalling approximately 40 hours of work per week. This means that 1 TU equals approximately 2.67 hours per week.
Number of teaching units you had last semester: ____________
Multiply this amount by 2.67 hours = ____________ = the number of hours you worked per week.

Gross amount of your typical monthly check: $________________________
Multiply this amount by 12 = $________________________
Divide this result by 52 = $________________________ = what you earned per week.
Now divide your weekly earnngs by the number of hours worked per week to get your hourly rate:
Start with what you earned per week (from above): $________________________
Divide this amount by the number of hours you worked per week (from above): ____________
The result = $________________________ = how much you earned per hour .
==========================================================================
Start with the gross amount of your last monthly check. To turn monthly amounts into weekly amounts, multiply the amount by 12 and divide the result by 52:
Gross amount of your last monthly check = ________________________
Multiply this amount by 12 = ________________________
Divide this result by 52 = ________________________ = what you earned during the last calendar week you worked.
