Class Codes & Rates:

Code 8868 is applied to professional employees of academic, trade or vocational institutions of learning. The classification includes professors, administrators, teachers, guidance counselors, social workers, therapists, nurses, athletic coaches and clerical employees. Employees who assist these professional employees by performing similar or related duties to those in which these professionals engage are additionally assigned to Code 8868. It is recognized that these assistants may not be considered “professional” to the extent that they may be unlicensed or not have the necessary academic credentials. Nevertheless, we consider these employees to be professional for classification purposes as their exposure is similar to those they are assisting. Examples of this type of employee include, but are not limited to, teacher's or nurse's aides or assistant athletic coaches. Refer to Code 9101 for classification assignments of nonprofessional employees of these institutions.
