Student employees have the flexibility within the policy to work up to 50 hours within a single bi-weekly pay period. A student employee could work up to 40 hours in one week and only 10 hours in the next to accommodate the increased need of a given week. If the total of hours does not exceed 50 for the bi-weekly pay period, the student will not be in violation of the policy.
A department may also choose to submit an Exception Request for Student Employee Work Hours form to request an exception for unplanned, emergency, or short-term needs based on documented business requirements.
