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.

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 4, 2008, through the last day of exams, May 8, 2009. 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.
