Retroactive payments shall be provided within two (2) months of ratification by both parties of this Agreement.

26.1.2.1 Part-Time Credit Faculty Retroactivity. Any part-time credit faculty who has been employed during the period of July 1, 1996 - June 30, 1997 (summer term - spring term) and is reemployed during the period July 1, 1997 - June 30, 1998 shall receive retroactive pay as follows:
