Work forms not completed properly will be returned to the supervisor, which could delay the hiring process. Keep in mind that the total wages to be paid to the department's student employees for the full employment period must not exceed the department's yearly student employment allocation. The Student Employment Office authorizes students to work in a position for a specified allotment. This authorization section shows the account to be charged, the student's total work allotment, the pay rate for the assigned job in the department and total hours per week authorized. The job's position number and suffix which connects the job to the departmental payroll timesheet is also shown.
Communication is important in effective supervision.
Outline basic work expectations and responsibilities for student employees, and during the hiring process explain the importance of their duties. Whenever possible, provide a specific job description which lists the tasks to be performed. Make certain student employees receive appropriate training so that they can carry out responsibilities properly. Review tasks and expectations regularly. Assist each student in establishing good work habits.
