Source: R/ol_comp_summary.R
ol_comp_summary.Rd

Calculates overload compensation for each instructor based on institutional policy. The output includes course-level payments, qualified credit hours, and a readable instructor-level summary block that follows each instructor's courses.

Usage

ol_comp_summary(
  schedule_df,
  instructor = NULL,
  L = 4,
  U = 9,
  rate_per_cr = 2500/3,
  reg_load = 12,
  favor_institution = TRUE
)

Arguments

schedule_df

A data frame containing course schedule information. Must include columns such as INSTRUCTOR, HRS, and ENRLD.

instructor

Optional string. If provided, limits the summary to a single instructor. Default is NULL (includes all instructors).

L

Minimum enrollment required for overload pay eligibility. Default is 4.

U

Upper threshold for proration. Courses with ENRLD > U receive full-rate pay. Default is 9.

rate_per_cr

Overload pay rate per credit hour. Default is 2500/3.

reg_load

Regular teaching load in credit hours. Default is 12.

favor_institution

Details

If the instructor argument is specified, the function limits the summary to that instructor. Matching is exact and case-sensitive unless pre-filtered using get_instructor_schedule(), which supports regex-based, case-insensitive pattern matching (e.g., "smith|jones").
