§ 1001. Hours worked and full-time employment. The following shall
apply for the purposes of certifying employment for the purposes of the
public service loan forgiveness program only and shall have no other
applicability for public service employers and their employees.

1. For faculty or teacher employees, a public service employer
certifying employment after the effective date of this subdivision shall
credit 3.35 hours worked for each hour of lecture or classroom time,
regardless of when the hours were worked, including hours worked prior
to the effective date of this subdivision. This subdivision does not
supersede any greater adjustment factor established by a collective
bargaining agreement or employer policy in recognition of additional
work associated with lecture or classroom time for the purpose of the
public service loan forgiveness program.

2. When determining whether an employee is considered "full-time," as
that term is defined in this article, for the purpose of certifying
employment for the public service loan forgiveness program only, a
public service employer shall not treat any adjusted total hours worked
pursuant to subdivision one of this section differently from hours
worked without an adjustment factor.

3. For the purpose of certifying employment only, a public service
employer shall consider as "full-time" any employee who satisfies the
definition of "full-time" provided in this article.
