Adjunct teaching can be classified as incidental work, if under an institutional policy to that effect. Margarita M.

Peters Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 10:36 AM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Time & Effort Question I agree that activities that are categorized as incidental work for which supplemental compensation is paid (based on A-21), do not have to be included in effort calculations. But, the question is whether the teaching can be classified as incidental work. I don't think it can here.
