Student employees must be paid on an hourly basis whenever a department employee/employer relationship exists.

Student employees will be paid every 2 weeks as shown on the Pay Period Schedule, with possible exceptions during holiday periods. Direct deposit to the student's checking or savings account is required for all new employees. The earnings statement will be sent to the designated employing department.

A time sheet or time clock hours must be submitted when due in order for the student to be paid. A daily record of time worked must be maintained. At the end of the pay period, the employee and the supervisor must certify total hours worked by signing the time sheet or approving time clock hours. It is the student's responsibility to ensure the time sheet is completed accurately and in a timely manner. If the time sheet or time clock hours are not submitted correctly and on time, the student will not be paid on time. Late time sheets mean late pay.

Student government officers and students employed by student organizations and other approved departments for a predetermined amount or on a commission basis, are not subject to the State's employment rate and hour rules, but must maintain authorizations for payment and back up for payment including applicable time sheets, sales records, etc.

Students will generally be compensated at the rate of time-and-a-half for any overtime (more than 40 hours/week). Student employees are not eligible for compensatory time, and generally not eligible for shift differential or call back pay.
