Accepting a new job involves commitment. You are first and foremost a student, but you do have certain responsibilities to your employer. Besides performing your duties to the best of your ability, you are expected to be prompt and dependable for the hours arranged with your employer. If you are unable to keep to the designated schedule, you should notify your supervisor. You will generally find him/her sympathetic to examination schedules, etc. If you find the need to resign, please notify your supervisor as soon as possible to allow time for a replacement and any necessary training.

Students are paid by the hour and checks are issued biweekly. Paychecks are based upon time reports submitted by each department at the end of each week.

Students should report any employment problems to the Employment office.
