Student Status Persons employed as student help are exempt from the State Personnel Act, will not be employed on a permanent full-time basis, will not occupy a classified position, and must be enrolled in school with the primary purpose and intent to acquire an education. In such case, the individual would hold employee status rather than student status. The employment of students to work during the summer months between spring and fall semester, who are not enrolled in summer school, must be approved in advance by the Personnel Section in order to determine their status. A person who graduates or withdraws from school, and who is not registered for a subsequent semester is not considered to be a student. If there is any question regarding the student status of an individual, please contact the Personnel Section.
Students are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Verification of identity and employability is required upon to the hiring of any student worker who will be paid on the UNC-General Administration payroll.
