In exceptional circumstances, a supervisor may appeal to the Provost to permit a student to work up to 30 hours per week during fall through spring terms. The Provost's decision will be based primarily on the student's academic record and progress. The Provost's decision shall be final in such appeals. Student employees are not eligible for paid leaves such as vacation, disability leave, funeral leave, sick leave, or jury duty. However, these are considered excused absences.
Students are eligible for such leaves without pay.
Student workers are protected under the State of Illinois Workmen's Compensation and Occupational Disease Acts for injuries or illnesses arising out of and in the course of their employment. Workmen's Compensation is a broader coverage than group health insurance. If the injury is accepted as a covered injury, Workmen's Compensation pays the doctor, hospital, and prescription drug bills connected with the injury or illness. The supervisor must be verbally notified of the injury or illness as soon as possible. If unable to return to work due to your injury or illness, the student must contact the Office of Human Resources, telephone 650-2190, concerning possible reimbursement of loss of wages on a partial basis.
