The FWS authorization form must be signed by the student and the employer. Failure to submit this form along with a Electronic Payroll Form will result in the delay of the payroll process. Student employees may work no more than 20 hours per week per University policy. FWS may be charged up to 20 hours per week. During periods of non-enrollment, student employees may work no more than 40 hours per week.
Federal regulations vary based on availability.
The SEO will attempt to notify students and supervisors when a student's eligibility for FWS is nearly exhausted, but please remember that keeping track of cumulative earnings is the student's and supervisor's responsibility. The student's employer will be notified by the SEO of any adjustment immediately following notification to the SEO by the Office of Student Financial Services. The student's employer will be notified by the SEO immediately following notification to the SEO by Student Financial Services. Upon notification of an award reduction, the employer should re-evaluate the student's work schedule to make sure hours are not assigned that would bring student earnings in excess of the adjusted FWS award. In a case where the student has already exceeded the reduced award, the hiring department will automatically be charged 100 percent of all excess earnings.
