It is the combined responsibility of the supervisors and the students to submit time sheets and transmit on-line payroll for the processing of salary payments to the Payroll Office on the designated dates. Students must be paid for all hours worked. Hours not eligible to be paid under the Federal Work-Study Program must be paid through Student Assistant funds. Federal Work-Study students are not allowed to volunteer any time in the same job for which they are being paid. Any questions regarding volunteering should be addressed with the Federal Work-Study Administrator.
Departments are responsible for monitoring student earnings.
Students may not earn more than their Federal Work-Study awards. When students have earned their full award, the department must either let the students go, or pay students with student assistant funds. Students are eligible for one-step merit increases after six consecutive months of satisfactory work in their normal schedule. The Federal Work-Study Office will submit the paperwork to the Payroll Office. A Job Request Card must be on file in the Federal Work-Study Office with the new job description and a new job number.
