Supervisor Responsibilities
Supervisor Responsibilities
- General Guidelines
- A student cannot begin work until they have been authorized by the Office of Financial Aid AND the Office of Human Resources.
- The supervisor is responsible for making sure the student is employed with a meaningful job.
- There are no comp, snow, sick or vacation days and no overtime for students.
- The supervisor is accountable for hours worked and ensuring that a student is not working during class time.
- Students must be supervised, and students may not supervise other students.
- Students must work during department or office hours. Work cannot be done from campus dorm or home.
- Supervisors must monitor in conjunction with the student, that they do not go over their work-study allocation. This information is provided to the supervisors on a monthly basis by the Office of Financial Aid. Any student earning over their awards may be charged to their department budget. Students exceeding work-study amounts may have other funds reduced. The Office of Financial Aid will make adjustments as necessary to assure federal compliance.
- In the event that the primary supervisor is not available, there must be a back-up person who will fill in during the absence of the supervisor. This should be someone who can verify the hours a student has worked. This back-up person should also be authorized as the primary spervisor's proxy for Web time entry.
