This guide applies to all student employees. Supervisors grade jobs based on the complexity and responsibilities of the position. Once the Grade Level is determined, each job must be assigned a Job Code, which will establish the position’s category and the job title.
Hourly-paid student employees should be paid at the same base hourly rate for comparable work, whether they have Work-Study or are paid with departmental funds.
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We are a VEVRAA Federal Contractor.
Determining Pay rates & Method of Payment
Hourly: Students who are working in a supervised job on a consistent basis and need to complete timesheets. Undergraduate Work-Study students must be paid on an hourly basis.
Weekly Salaried: Students who are doing advanced work, where less supervision is required and tracking hours is not easily accomplished.
One-time payment: Students who work on a one-time basis (i.e., a special project). Piecemeal payments are made from departmental funds only. The employment duration for a one-time payment cannot exceed one week. International students can receive piecemeal payments only for work done during approved break periods; they must be paid either hourly or weekly salaried for all other employment.
