Fiscal Agent Handbook Index | Student Employment Index

The hiring procedure for the Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) and the Student Aide Program (SAP) is as follows:

1. The department completes a Job Request Card for a student aide employee or a work-study employee and forwards it to the Student Employment office. 2. The Student Employment office reviews the job request: the relationship between the job description, the suggested classification and wage level. If a disparity appears to exist between the job as described, the suggested classification and/or wage levels, the Student Employment office will contact the hiring supervisor for discussion and possible adjustment. Notification of the opening and a job description will be posted. The Student Employment office will attempt to identify suitable candidates from among applicants, based on similarity between job qualifications and applicant qualifications, following a review of the student's completed application. 3. The Student Employment office refers qualified candidate(s) to the hiring supervisor through a Referral Form. The referred student gives a Student Employee Hiring and Change of Status Form to the supervisor, who completes this form if he/she chooses to hire the referred student. 4. The hiring supervisor confers with the student regarding an appropriate work schedule, and instructs the student to return to the Student Employment office with the completed referral form and Student Employee Hiring and Change of Status Form. When these forms are returned, the student completes a W-4 (tax card). Instruction for completing the Student Employee Change of Status Form are detailed in section U14 of this handbook. 5. The fiscal agent will determine the availability of departmental and federal work-study funds prior to students being permitted to work in the department. A student authorization letter will be sent to the department supervisor before any work is performed by the student. Therefore, students should be hired at least one week before they begin working.
