HIRING FAQs

When is an entire Hiring Packet required?

When hiring a Student Employee never before employed by the University. Hiring managers should send the new student employee to HRS with a completed  "Hiring Notification Form for Student Employees" (see "Student Hiring Forms") to complete their paperwork. Once the paperwork is complete, including the I-9 verification, the student employee will be given an "OK to Work" paper to bring back to the department. NO STUDENT EMPLOYEE MAY START WORK UNTIL THEIR PAPERWORK IS COMPLETE. 

When is a Hire Card required for Non-Work Study or Work-Study?

A Hire Card for Non-Work Study is only required when the Student Employee is being hired to a position they have not held before or have terminated. A new Work-Study Hire Card is required for the beginning of each academic year and summer session.
