For Returning Student Employees

Students who have previously participated in student employment are not required to complete all new forms every year. However, students are required to complete a new Campus Work Program Agreement form (commonly known as the “Work Agreement Form”) for the Fall/Spring Term and a separate Work Agreement Form for work performed during Summer Term.

Direct deposit information also needs to be verified as current and updated with the Financial Aid department when changes to banking are made.

Earnings

Students will usually earn the current federal minimum wage, but that amount may be higher depending on where the student works, the type of work that is performed, and the skills needed to perform those jobs. Pay rates higher than the minimum wage are established by the Human Resources Department and are determined by the job being performed. Student earnings are considered taxable income. Student workers will receive a W2 form at the end of the calendar year.

Earnings from FSC work study will be included on line 37 of the FAFSA with any other earnings the student has earned from working. FWS earnings are reported on line 44C of the FAFSA.

Hours

The money a student earns cannot exceed their total FWS award. When assigning work hours, the employer will consider the student’s total award and class schedule. Average work schedules are 6 hours a week. Students are prohibited from working during normally scheduled classes. Work-study hours are flexible. Remember: school is the first priority!

Recording of Time

Student workers are paid bi-weekly and on an hourly rate basis. Hours are reported using the time clock. In a few pre-authorized positions, a time sheet is acceptable. The student worker must accurately record the time they begin and end their work, as well as the beginning and ending time of any meal period. It is the employee’s responsibility to sign his or her time record to certify the accuracy of all time recorded. The timekeeper for the department will review and then initial the time record before submitting it for payroll processing. In the event of an error in reporting time, employees must immediately report the problem to the department timekeeper. Failure to consistently report time accurately may result in disciplinary action. Also, altering, falsifying, tampering with time records or recording time on another employee’s time card will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

Pay Dates

Bi-weekly employees, including part-time staff members, receive pay every other Friday for work performed and reported for the preceding pay period. If that Friday is a holiday, or the campus is closed, information about distribution of paychecks will be released in advance by the Vice President for Finance and Administration. If the business offices are closed, pay checks and statements will be available on the next business day. Employees can avoid any delay in receiving pay statements or checks when using direct deposit.

Termination of Employment

When hiring a student employee, the hiring department typically hires for the academic year. There are times, however, when the position must end earlier than originally anticipated. The employee’s award may have been changed, the employee may resign, or the department may find that it is necessary to end the position because of poor performance, cause or other work-related reasons.

The policies, procedures, and rules set forth are guidelines for administration and supervision. They are not a contract of employment, nor do they guarantee any continuation of employment. This information is not intended to alter in any way the "employment-at-will" relationship of the College and its employees.

Disciplinary Action

Disciplinary action is sometimes used to help employees recognize work performance problems. Although the College is committed to a progressive disciplinary process for the benefit of all employees, the College reserves the right to determine the appropriate discipline for each individual circumstance including immediate termination. Discussions that accompany disciplinary action can also assist the employee in strengthening their performance and achieving job success.

If the College chooses to terminate the employment relationship for cause, examples of reasons for separation include but are not limited to:

• Recurring unauthorized and unexcused absences
• Refusal to do work assigned, or refusal to work properly assigned time periods
• Falsifying entry of hours worked on time records
• Inability to perform tasks required by the nature of the job after completion of a reasonable training period
• Violations of the Confidentiality Agreement

Student workers who are terminated for cause, such as those listed above, may permanently lose their ability to work in employment positions on campus. Based upon the sole discretion of the College, a student employee terminated for cause may be subject to the following sanctions:

First Offense

With the first violation for cause as exampled above, the employee may be subjected to immediate termination of employment and may be suspended from working in any other position on campus for the next full semester.

Second Offense

With the second violation for cause as exampled above, the employee may be subject to immediate termination of employment and permanently removed from student employment eligibility.

Note, a full semester is considered the next Fall or Spring semester which immediately follows the date of termination. When a student employee is terminated for cause from a department, he or she may no longer be eligible to work within that department again. If a student is able to maintain eligibility to work in the student employment program all hiring supervisors have access to the student’s employment record including any disciplinary action. Hiring supervisors retain the right to make hiring decisions based upon a student worker’s employment record.

A student worker may be discharged immediately or suspended without pay for any serious offense. Examples of serious offenses include, but are not limited to the following: intentional damage to, or theft of College property; assault or threats of violence; possession of illegal weapons or firearms on College premises; sexual harassment; insubordination; falsifying a timecard or falsely reporting time; or drinking alcoholic beverages or using illegal drugs while on the job or on campus.

A student employee’s failure to provide reasonable notice of absence to the employee’s supervisor is considered willful misconduct and may result in termination of employment. If a student employee is absent without reporting the absence for three consecutive days, he/she will be considered to have abandoned the job and employment will be terminated.
