Human Resources is excited to announce a new hiring process for Student Employment. Some of you are familiar with the application Hirezon for faculty/staff recruitment. Now we will be utilizing Hirezon for students. This is an electronic process for hiring students. Effective immediately please visit How To Hire A Student Worker. If you do not have access to “Onboarding/Contracts” when you login to Hirezon you will need to be given access. We will be happy to answer questions or assist in any way. Contact Nikki Bryant at bryantnc@longwood.edu / x2944.
REMINDER: Students cannot work without prior authorization from Student Employment, including students who are already employed in another student position in a different department.
The documents must be submitted to and approved by the Student Employment Coordinator before the 21st of the month in order for the student to be paid for work completed before the 21st.
Documents approved after the 21st will result in the student having to wait until the next pay period for payment.
A student may be assigned only one job and is expected to work in that position until the award has been earned, or until the end of the award period. If the student resigns or is terminated, he/she will not be assigned another position until the following semester.
The usual workload for a student is 8-12 hours a week. The object of setting an average of weekly hours is to help gauge earnings over the full award period. The student who earns too much too quickly may reach his/her allocated amount before the term ends. In addition, departments may find they have to terminate a student's employment prematurely.
A student is never allowed to work more than eight hours in one day or 20 hours in one week (40 during non-enrollment periods).
The continuation of a student on the work-study program is subject to the availability of funds. Employment is not guaranteed but based on jobs available, student class schedule and qualifications.
Employment Authorization forms must be completed and submitted each year by the 21st of the month. Paperwork approved after the 21st will result in the student having to wait until the next pay period for payment. |
Students are not automatically rehired.
