For the 2011-2012 academic year, the average upper-class student generally works 10-12 hours a week and has a standard work-study award of $2,600. First
year students may work a maximum of 10 hours a week and their standard work-study award is $2,200.
However, work-study amounts vary and students must refer to their own award letter to verify their personal work-study allotment. Remember too that
if your student worker is earning a rate higher than the base of $8.50 per hour she will have to work fewer than 12 hours a week because otherwise
she will go through her work-study allotment faster. If she reaches her work-study limit quickly she must then cease working entirely early in the
spring semester which will obviously result in a problem for you, the employer. Non-aid students must also abide by the same limitations.
Higher payrates are very limited and set by the Controller. They are already linked to the Job's SP number in BannerWeb and so you do not have the option to
choose a higher rate in JobX.
Work-Study applies to the period from the first day of classes on September 8, 2011 through the last day of exams, May 11, 2012. The exception to this
is work performed during J-term and that is only for on-campus work. If a student is doing Off-Campus Work-Study her earnings during J-term will
count toward her limit. All spot jobs and work during breaks count toward their work-study limits.
Payroll's Pay Schedule for students as well as a list of pay rates can be found on Payroll's website at: www.smith.edu/controller/student_payroll.php.
