Personnel Actions Forms
Beginning in Spring 2021, CNM Ingenuity transitioned from Work Assignments to Personnel Actions Forms (PAF) as the agreement between instructors and program managers that lay out the scope of work, schedule, payment, and other details for each assignment. Personnel Action Forms are created by program managers directly in Paycom. Once created, the instructor will receive an automated email asking them to log in, review, and either acknowledge or decline the assignment as written. Click here for complete instructions.
Pay Rates & Prep Time
CNM Ingenuity’s system pays instructors different rates depending on what subject they are teaching. An instructor who teaches in multiple subject areas (e.g. Language and Construction) might be paid a different rate for each. Ingenuity also pays different rates depending on the task, such as instruction, curriculum development, and preparation.
In terms of preparation, CNM Ingenuity acknowledges that teaching requires instructors to dedicate time to their courses outside of the instructional time that they spend in direct contact with students. For every class, the program manager determines preparation based on a formula that takes into account whether or not an instructor has taught the class before, if the curriculum needs to be customized to a specific client, and any set up or clean up necessary.
Accessing Learner Contact Info & Printing Sign-In Sheets As an instructor, you may need to contact a learner. Learners aren’t necessarily used to checking their CNM emails (if they have one at all), so you may need to use their personal email or phone number. You can access these in Lumens by following these instructions. This document will also show you how to print a sign-in sheet that you can use to track attendance.Recording Attendance & Grades
As part of their teaching responsibilities, instructors must record student grades and attendance in Lumens. They should record attendance after each class meeting and record final attendance and grades within 48 hours of the final class meeting. Click here for detailed instructions.
Completing Timesheets
Instructors should enter hours that they work into Paycom on the day that they work them. The PAF for a given assignment will specify which pay rates and allocations to use. Instructors should enter their hours based on the quantities, rates, and allocations noted in the PAF. Program managers approve completed timesheets every other Friday. Instructors will receive an email reminder the day before a timesheet is due for a given pay period.
Course Discounts
Instructors can take advantage of a 10% discount on Ingenuity classes.
Please reach out to your program manager with any questions.
