SEP Hiring Procedures for Supervisors

Information for student employment supervisors is below.

  • The hiring department must complete a job requisition.  This can only be done by the Department Manager or the student employee Hiring Manager.
  • When submitted, the requisition will automatically be sent for review and either be approved, denied or additional clarification will be required.
  • Students may view open positions on the job database.
  • Students may only begin work after the job offer is returned to Financial Aid and the onboarding process is completed.
  • Supervisors MUST be sure students are not working during scheduled classes.

The student hiring process can be found here.

Note:  International student hiring is slightly different.  The process for international student hiring can be found here. Supervisors wishing to hire an international student must provide the student with the letter for the Social Security Administration on official letterhead.

 

To ensure that students' timesheets are processed each month, some key points must be followed:

  • Students may work up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and up to 28 hours per week during breaks.
  • All students must take a 1/2 hour mandatory unpaid meal break per NYS law after working 6 hours. All breaks must be clearly reflected on the timesheet.
  • Hours missed may only be made up if the student does not exceed the maximum 20 hours per week.
  • Supervisors are responsible for monitoring your employment budget.

Supervisors are responsible for the hiring in their departments. Each supervisor must adhere to the policies, regulations and laws established by the federal agencies, NYS and Wagner College.
