Most work study is part of the financial aid program, and a student must apply and qualify for financial aid to receive need-based work study. No-need work study is not based on need. It is awarded on a computerized random selection basis. The employer will pay 25 percent of the work study earnings for the current award year and thereafter. It is only awarded once a year, prior to the fall semester, by a computerized random selection.
Employer is used rather than referring to both each time.
Employee is used to reference all types of student employees. PAF Personal Action Form - generated by Student Employment Office gives pertinent information to the Personnel Office, i.e. student name, Social Security Number, hourly wage, employer number, etc., so the student can be paid. The TRR is sent to employers to fill out number of hours the student worked and is signed by the employer authorizing payment of wages.
