The Departmental (or Non-Work-study) Job Program includes on-campus jobs that are not subsidized by Federal Work-study funds. Students do not need to demonstrate financial need to work in a departmental job

Eligibility Requirements for a Departmental Job

Graduate or undergraduate students who are registered in six or more credit hours per fall/spring semester, are eligible for departmental jobs. Registration during the summer semester is not required to work in the Departmental Job Program during the summer as long as the student was registered in at least six credit hours during the preceding spring semester or is pre-registered in at least six credit hours for the following fall semester. Please note that students who are working during the summer but not registered in classes are subject to FICA withholdings.

Once you are hired, your employee onboarding process will kick off in Workday. Employee onboarding includes completing the required forms online and presenting required identification documents to the Student Employment Office, 207A Picken Hall. A complete list of acceptable documents can be found at uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-acceptable-documents. The most common documents for students to present include the following:

social security card or state-issued birth certificate;
and
photo ID such as driver's license or Tiger card;
or
U.S. passport, when applicable.

All employee onboarding forms and identification documents must be completed/presented before you are allowed to clock in and begin working. Your supervisor will receive a notification when your employee onboarding is complete and you are authorized to begin working.

Effective July 9, 2023, the student employment wage is $10.00 per hour. Paydays are every other Friday. FHSU uses EFT (electronic fund transfer) as the payroll distribution process. Your earnings are deposited to the bank account of your choice, which you set up during employee onboarding. Pay advices are available for viewing online in Workday.
