In compliance with the Benefits for Hourly Employees policy (Policy #3080) regarding eligibility for health insurance, which requires insurance to be offered to any employee with an average of 30 hours or more per week, maximum hours for student employees are as follows:
Academic Year
During the academic school year, September 1 through April 30, student employees are limited to a maximum of 24 hours per week including all on-campus positions (this limit applies to breaks, but excludes summers).
Summer Hours
During the summer, May 1 through August 30, student employees are limited to a maximum of 38 hours per week including all on-campus positions. Further limitations on hours may apply in certain situations.
If students are able to work all of those hours in one department, they may do so. If a student works in multiple departments, the student and the supervisor of each department must work together to ensure that the student does not exceed the maximum hours per week.
All pay for hourly employees must be in the form of clocked in hours. Stipends/bonuses paid in lieu of an hourly wage will not be allowed.
Any student who works over the maximum number of hours per week will receive a reminder of the constraints of this policy. A copy of that communication will also be sent to the student’s manager. If it becomes evident that a student employee is not attempting compliance with this policy, the student employee will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination from all positions on campus.
Exceptions for more hours in one week may be considered by the Human Resources Committee (or its designee) through a formal request process but not if the hours would be consistently over the maximum allowed. Requests must be sent to the Human Resources department at least one week in advance in order to have sufficient time to be considered.
