Student Wage Budgets

In order to hire any students a department or professor must have a budget from which to pay them. The Student Employment Office does not supply this budget to employers. Contact the Budget Office with inquiries regarding budgets for student employees.

Please note that according to Federal Regulations student workers may not be used to replace staff.

Students on financial aid with Work-Study have first priority for your job, no matter where your funding comes from. Keep in mind that the departmental student employment budget line refers to work-study during the academic year. If you plan to hire students during the summer, you must make sure you have a line in your student employment budget specifically for summer help. Work-study runs from the first day of classes in the fall, September 8, 2011 through the last day of exams, May 11, 2012. Any work done before or after those dates must be paid out of the department's summer work budget, which is completely separate from work-study. Direct any questions regarding departmental student employment budgets to the Budget Office.

When submitting budgets, department heads request a specific amount to be allocated for student wages. Students receive remuneration for any work they complete for the department from these designated funds, hence the SP number necessary when you set jobs up in JobX. Requests for increased student budgets should be directed first to the department head. If departments cut their student work budget, this will result in a decrease in the number of jobs available to needy students, which has already been seen in the past two years.
