Employers are asked to consider the student' class schedules, academic work loads, and individual needs in establishing regular work schedules. Supervisors must discuss the Job Description and expectations of the job with the student. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to set the department's policy regarding time off for student employees. This policy must be communicated to the student employee when they are hired. If the supervisor chooses to have a dress code for the student employees, it must be communicated with the employee when they are hired.
Supervisors are responsible for the accuracy of time records.
Student employees may not work during their scheduled class periods. If class was canceled or ended early, the student employee may work but the circumstances need to be documents on the time report. The federal work study program is a federal student aid program which gives students with demonstrated financial need the opportunity to obtain a part time job to defray educational costs. Students awarded work study as part of their aid package can work in positions that match their interests and educational goals. Employment opportunities exist on and off campus and also at non profit organizations that benefit and serve the community.
