Supervisors of Student Employees

Supervisors

Once you have hired a student to work in your department, a Student Employment Contract must be completed and submitted to the Student Payroll Service Center (113 Phillips Hall), please ensure the student understands their responsibilities before signing the contract. A copy of the contract should be kept in your department since it is a legal binding agreement between you and the student.

The contract is used to set up the student's job in the Banner Payroll system. A separate contract must be completed for each job, whether the student is to be paid an hourly rate or stipend. In the event that you are hiring a student for a Federal Work Study position, a FWS Student Employment Contract must be completed and submitted to the Financial Office for approval prior to submitting to the Student Payroll Service Center.

In addition to the contract, new student employees must complete the following forms:  Form I-9, W-4, NC-4 and Direct Deposit forms in order to be set-up in the Banner Payroll system. The contract and forms must be completed prior to or on the first day of work. Refer to the "Student Employees" tab for more detail information.

Student Employment Dates

The start and end dates on a student employment contract drive the payments for the  Banner Payroll system and are used to open the WTE online time sheet in OnePort so that hourly rate student employees can report the hours worked. The start date on the contract can vary depending on the needs of the department but the end date on the contract cannot go past the last day of the semester. The chart below shows the range of dates for the Academic Calendar years that are valid for student contracts.

Payment Types

Hourly Rate Student Employees

Student Employees are paid an hourly rate based on how many hours they work per day. The start and end dates on the contract plays a crucial part in the Banner Payroll system and when the WTE online time sheet is available for student employees to record hours worked in OnePort. 

Stipend Student Employees

Student employees are paid a flat rate for a job, project, or internship on the same bi-weekly schedule as an hourly rate job. Stipends can be paid in one pay period or multiple consecutive pay periods. The contract must indicate the pay period dates in which the employee is to be paid.

Payroll Request

When students are paid a stipend on an intermittent schedule, the supervisor must fill out a Payroll Request Form in addition to the Student Employment Contract. The Payroll Request Form must be submitted to the Payroll Department, 104 Phillips Hall a few days prior to the end of the pay period. The form must indicate the payment amount and when the student is to be paid.

• Payroll Request Form is located under the "Forms" tab.
