Additionally, departments shall ensure that all affirmative action and other institutional policies are followed while hiring student workers. Students are not allowed to work in departments where a conflict of interest exists (e.g. SW Smith could not be supervised by a partner or other family member).<\/p>\n<p>A Student Employment Authorization must be completed for all student employee positions. Student employees are required to be eligible to work and must complete a background check. For student employees, we are currently navigating an internal process to streamline background checks and appreciate your patience as we work through this transition.

Student employment gives every student the opportunity to gain necessary skills and experience that they will need for their careers down the road. To aid both students and supervisors,&nbsp;we have&nbsp;created a section with specifics relating to working as a student employee. For questions&nbsp;or comments regarding student employment policies and practices, please contact the Human Resources Office.\n\nAll student employees must complete and turn in paperwork to the Human Resources Office. There are two separate packets for new student employees or returning employees. \"Returning Employees\" are classified as those who begin a new academic year (fall term) in the same position. If a student has worked on campus in another position, they may not need to fill out other HR forms. We recommend that they fill out the \"Returning Student Employee\" paperwork as well.\n\n[section=Hiring a Student Employee]\n\nStudent employment at ÀÖ²¥ÊÓÆµ is managed by the&nbsp;Human Resources&nbsp;Office. During the 2016 fiscal year, WOU employed a total of 1,121 students paying $2.9 million. This includes all regular student employees and work study students. The various aspects of the Student Employment Policy can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/wou.edu\/hr\/student-employee-policy\/\">here<\/a>.\n<h3>Hiring a Student Employee<\/h3>\nRecruiting a student employee is at the discretion of the hiring department. Departments are required to observe the same non-discrimination practices for student employees as required for faculty and staff. Additionally, departments shall ensure that all affirmative action and other institutional policies are followed while hiring student workers. Students are not allowed to work in departments where a conflict of interest exists (e.g. SW Smith could not be supervised by a partner&nbsp;or other family member).\n\nOnce the department has selected a student for employment, the supervisor (or designee) must complete the Student Employment Notification Form on\/before the FIRST day of work. Additionally, it is the responsibility of department supervisors to confirm eligible employment status by visiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.wou.edu\/nora\/auth_access.student_employment.p_main\">Student Employment Verification<\/a> page inside the WOU Portal. If you do not have access to this form, please notify the Payroll Coordinator&nbsp;and they will get you access.\n<h3>Confirming Eligible Employment Status<\/h3>\nTo be eligible to work as a student employee, students must be registered for at least six credit hours in the term of employment. As a supervisor, you must check this status at the beginning of the term and again after the fourth week of classes. If a student dips below six credits, they are no longer eligible to work as a student employee (there is one exception to this rule).&nbsp; This exception exists when a student employee chooses to use their \"free term.\"&nbsp; The free term is when a student is allowed to work for one term per calendar year without meeting enrollment requirements.&nbsp; Federal Work Study funds may not be used during this free term. For more information view the <a href=\"https:\/\/wou.edu\/hr\/student-employee-policy\/\">Student Employee Policy<\/a>.\n\nOn the Student Employment Verification page, you can see all of this information in a box titled \"Registration Information.\" If the student is registered for six or more credits, the \"Required Credits for Employment:\" section will read \"Yes\" for the appropriate term. If the term of employment is labeled with \"No\", you will need to refer the student to the Human Resources Office immediately and remove all future work shifts from their schedule.\n\nThe \"Employment Information\" box at the bottom of the screen also outlines the number of hours a student can work in a week. If they are not eligible to work, this box will say \"0\" for hours allowed. A student can work up to 20 hours per week without approval or 30 hours per week with approval from the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. <strong>NO STUDENT can work beyond 30 hours per week.<\/strong>\n<h3>Can I hire a student who isn't a WOU student?<\/h3>\nYes. Students attending another Oregon public university or non system students (those not attending an Oregon public university) are eligible to work provided they're taking six or more credits. To qualify for employment at WOU, the student must demonstrate their eligibility by providing documentation during the first week of EVERY term they wish to work at WOU. The documentation can include:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Schedule of classes<\/li>\n \t<li>Receipt of fees paid for current term<\/li>\n \t<li>School ID<\/li>\n \t<li>Chemeketa students must obtain&nbsp;an Enrollment Verification Form from the Enrollment Center on Chemeketa's campus (2nd floor of building 2).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nStudents that are taking less than six&nbsp;credits and ARE NOT enrolled at WOU do not qualify for exceptions and cannot be employed as a student.\n<h3>I've hired a student employee and confirmed their eligible employment status. Now what?<\/h3>\nPrior to their first shift, it is critical that the student employee visit the Human Resources Office and fill out the proper paperwork. If the student has not worked as a student employee at WOU in the past, they will need to fill out a new employee packet. This packet is also available on this website under the \"Forms\" menu. For students employed by WOU in the past (as a student employee), a simple form updating their contact information will suffice.

Supervisors should login through the Portal and click on <strong><em>Student Employment Verification<\/em><\/strong> under <strong><em>My Programs<\/em><\/strong>. Below are some instructions and screenshots to assist a supervisor using the verification tool for the first time.\n<h3><span class=\"redFont\">Step 1<\/span>:<\/h3>\nStudent employee supervisors must verify that their student employees are actually students. The student must be registered for the appropriate number of credits based on their student type. Undergraduate students must be registered for at least six credit hours per term, international undergraduate students must be registered for twelve credits and international graduate students must be registered for nine. For simplicity, in this box you will see simply a \"yes\" or \"no\" indicating your student meets the qualifications needed that are unique to their student type.\n<div class=\"separator\">[fruitful_sep]<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"redFont\">Step 2<\/span>:<\/h3>\nReview the number of hours the student is allowed to work per week. The number of hours a student is allowed to work will only be changed from \u201cup to 20 hours\u201d to a greater amount if the student has special permission from the Vice President for Student Affairs.\n<div class=\"separator\">[fruitful_sep]<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"redFont\">Step 3<\/span>:<\/h3>\nIf the student has brought back the Student Employment Authorization page, stamped and signed by HR, then the student has completed all paperwork with the Human Resources Office and is ready to begin work. Federal laws state that employees must complete all necessary employment paperwork (completion of I-9) within 3 days of beginning work. Returning student employees will not need I-9 documentation or direct deposit information if they have previously provided this. However it is important if changing departments to complete the Returning Student Packet, which also includes a Student Employment Authorization page that must be returned before beginning work.\n<div class=\"separator\">[fruitful_sep]<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"redFont\">Step 4<\/span>:<\/h3>\nSupervisors should check to see if their student worker has work study available to use. If the student has work study, the appropriate box will be marked \"Yes\" and the remaining balance will show below it. Note: this step should be done monthly when completing the Department's student payroll roster.\n\nIf there are holds on the student\u2019s financial aid, their work study <u>may not<\/u> be used. Hold's will show up next to the student's work study status as below.\n<div class=\"separator\">[fruitful_sep]<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"redFont\">Step 5<\/span>:<\/h3>\nFinally, if your student worker is a non-WOU student worker (student at another school) then proof of enrollment must be provided to the Human Resources Office by the end of the first week of each term. Supervisors must verify the appropriate box for the current term has been checked here. If no proof is given to the Human Resources Office then the student worker may be asked to stop working until it is provided.\n\n[endsection]\n\n&nbsp;","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-18569","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/417"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18569"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32822,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18569\/revisions\/32822"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
