A W-2 statement form will be mailed from the University's Payroll Office to the student's permancnt address as stated on the Student Records System. This form will be mailed by January 31st of the following calendar year. Benefits Student employees are not eligible for benefits such as sick leave, holiday pay, vacations or retirement plans, but they are eligible for worker's compensation under provisions of New York State law. Worker's compensation covers expenses for medical care, and certain benefits for loss of pay resulting from injuries or disabilities incurred on the job. To qualify for an increase in pay, a student must complete a minimum of 180 hours of satisfactory work on the same or similar job within the University.
Employers are responsible for initiating student pay raises.
SES recommends that pay raises be at least 25 cents per hour but not greater than 50 cents per hour. In addition, a student is qualified for only one pay raise per job, each fiscal year. If a student who has completed the required hours of satisfactory work changes jobs within a department or transfers to a position with a different department, SES should be contacted to determine whether the two jobs are similar enough to qualify the student for a pay raise. Promotions When a student is promoted, a department should pay the student at the lowest end of the pay range scheduled for the new job. Performance Expectations Student employees are expected to perform job assignments in a manner that is consistent with department goals.
