Managing Student Employees

• Federal Work Study employees require an authorization from the Student Employment Office
• Federal Work Study employees have a maximum amount they can earn during the academic year.  Typically, this works out to be about 6-8 hours per week.  This amount will be on the Federal Work Study Authorization each student receives
• Federal Work Study students should not begin working until the Federal Work Study authorization is completed and returnd to the Student Employment Office. Please note: Federal Work Study employees will not be paid until the authorization is complete
• Federal Work Study payroll is processed by the Student Employment Office
• Federal Work Study employees complete the Federal Work Study timesheet
• Non-Federal Work Study payroll is processed by the Payroll Office

     Federal Work Study Authorization
      This document is given to a FWS employee once they have completed all necessary payroll paperwork and are eligible to be  interviewed by appropriate departments on campus.

     Federal Work Study Timesheet

• Federal Work Study timesheets must be completed biweekly (every 2 weeks).
• All timesheets must include the student's name and student ID number.  It is preferred that the information be printed or typed.
• Time worked should be completed as instructed on the reverse side of the timesheet.
• Students may not work more than 20 hours per week while classes are in session.
• Timesheets must be completed in blue or black ink.
• All completed timesheets must be signed and dated by both the student employee and their supervisor
• PLEASE NOTE:
      -   Students may not sign another student's timesheet as the supervisor
      -   The supervisor is responsible for verifying that the timesheet is complete and accurate including hours actually worked
      -   If a timesheet is received late, the student's paycheck will be delayed.  Late timesheets are processed with the next payroll, 2  weeks later.  The student's pay will be delayed until then.  Since most students have limited resources, a late timesheet/paycheck can be a hardship.

 Completed timesheets are returned to the Student Employment Office in a sealed envelope, signed by the Supervisor over the sealed flap
