Since work-study students are university employees, the burden of some managerial tasks are removed from employers completely. But when it comes to payroll procedures and situations such as reducing, cancelling or terminating work-study awards, student workers rely on their employers to know and understand the processes that are in place.
Receiving proper pay is integral to the success of work-study students. From submitting timesheets to properly calculating the right pay rate, employers must learn how to work with the university to effectively manage the payroll process.
The hiring departments for both on-campus and off-campus employers must complete a comprehensive list of information to finalize the hiring process. Learn more about the specific information required and view sample documents.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to reduce, cancel or even terminate a work-study award, perhaps as a result of receiving additional financial assistance (such as a scholarship). Regardless of the status change, these adjustments impact a student's expected earnings and overall ability to work.
