11.1	Current District policies regarding free parking for Unit Members, participation in tax-sheltered annuities, use of District telephones and copyrights shall be maintained for the term of this Agreement.

	11.1.1	All Unit Members will be provided free on-campus parking stickers for all vehicles registered in their, or their family members' name.

	11.1.2	Except as specifically provided in this Contract, no right or benefit of a Unit Member provided by law is waived by this Contract. This provision is not subject to grievance procedure.

	11.1.3	Unit Members may participate in the tax-sheltered annuity of their choice, with the District providing payroll deductions for this purpose, if that annuity is listed with Santa Clara County Office of Education payroll, provided the company will sign this District's hold harmless agreement.

	11.1.4	Faculty members will be provided with an office phone to be used for intra-district and local calls related to College business. The District shall pay for all costs related to the use of the phones.

If the District requests negotiations, documentation on phone call usage will be provided to the Association.

	11.1.5	Copyrights for materials, publications, tapes and other written, verbal, visual, audio or artistic products developed, conceived or executed by a Unit Member shall be awarded to the Unit Member unless the Unit Member is specifically directed or employed by the District to create the work. If there is disagreement relative to a copyright, the requirements of law shall apply.

	11.1.6	To the extent permitted by law, faculty members shall have the option to request and receive payment of salary in either:

		(1) Ten (10) equal monthly payments, beginning in August and ending in May of the year, or (2) In twelve (12) equal monthly payments beginning in August and ending in July of the year. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require or permit the payment of salary before it is earned or in advance of the rendition of services.
