The payroll for January Break is on a biweekly schedule. The summer Student Employment Program begins immediately after the last day of exams and continues until the first day of classes in the fall. During this period, wages are charged to departmental operations budget. Pay rates are set by the department. Supervisors should try to anticipate openings well in advance of the close of school.
Most students secure summer jobs at home during the spring break.
Students who are working on campus after finals for Commencement Week should notify the College Payroll Office of where to send their paychecks, or they will be sent to the student's home address. Paychecks for summer employment will be put in the students' Wheaton boxes. Departments interested in hiring students to work during these non-academic year employment periods must have funds in the departmental budget to cover student employee's earnings. Funds for on-campus housing costs, if necessary, should also be available. The following guidelines have been established to assist supervisors when hiring student employees for summer employment.
