On-Campus Student Employee Supervisors
SSC students make great employees! Basic information about requesting, hiring, and managing them is provided here for on-campus student employee supervisors. For further details, please see the Student Employment Handbook [PDF 571KB] or contact Student Employment.
Requesting a job position
SEO Job Request Forms must be signed each academic year and summer session. You must sign and return all Request Forms for the jobs you wish to fill and submit any new positions for approval. Academic Year Job Requests made after May 15 of the previous academic year require the area Vice President's signature.
Hiring students
You can interview and hire a student through the Student Job request Form, or a student may contact you directly, or you may be re-hiring a student. In any case, if you agree to hire a student via FCWS or Institutional Employment (03), make sure that the student has filled-out federally-required hiring at SEO prior to starting work.
Documentation
  • Student Personal Data Sheet [PDF 80KB]
  • W-4 [PDF 56KB]
  • M-4 [PDF 55KB]
  • Direct Deposit Form
  • I-9 (Must be completed in person) Complete list of I-9 acceptable documentation [PDF 72KB].
    The I-9 requires two forms of identification: a driver's license or student ID, and a social security card or a birth certificate. Hiring forms must be completed in SEO and appropriate identification must be presented then.
Work authorization, payroll, and time sheets

Once the student's documentation is filed, he/she must be authorized to work. You may contact SEO by phone, fax, or email or you may send the student to request an authorization form. You must provide SEO with the student's first and last name, student ID number, and job number. An authorization form will be sent to you, which you must sign and return ASAP.

Once the signed authorization is received by SEO the student will be entered into the payroll system and an employee ID number and record number will be generated. The completed authorization will be returned to you for your files. At this time the student may begin work.

Time sheets with the student's hours, employee ID number, and record number must be submitted to payroll by 10am Friday of each week worked. Employee ID numbers remain the same, however, record numbers may change as students can hold more than one job and frequently change jobs. Always use the most current record number you have on file to ensure the funds are removed from the correct account.

As a supervisor, you are responsible for notifying SEO of any changes in a student's employment at SSC.
