Hiring a Student
Every work study supervisor needs to complete a Job Request Form for each work study position being requested. The form describes the student's duties and responsibilities, job qualifications, length of employment and the number of students needed.
The student will locate a job he/she might be interested in through the Work Study Jobs website. The student will contact you and this will give you the opportunity to interview each student and select the most qualified student. The decision to hire will rest with you, the supervisor.
The student will bring to the interview a Work Study Authorization form which outlines the student's award amount, starting and ending dates of employment, and pay rate. To hire the student after the job interview, sign the authorization, ask the student to sign it, and return it to the Financial Aid Office. If the student's skills and/or class schedule do not meet the needs of the position return the authorization unsigned to the student.
The pay rate for all work study students is $7.25 per hour. At the present, there are no pay rates established for work study students based upon the job description. Students are able to work a maximum of 20 hours a week while school is in session. Students working 6 or more continuous hours are required to take one 30 minute, unpaid lunch and this must be reflected on the student's time card.
