6. Hiring documents: Employers are responsible for submission of original, complete and accurate employment documents. For a student employee to receive a paycheck, all the hiring documents must be received, reviewed and approved by the Student Employment staff prior to the student’s first day work. Hiring documents must be completed within three (3) working days prior to the students first day on the job.

7. Hiring documents A student PAF can extend for three academic terms/semesters, which includes the current term/semester. There are three (3) terms within the academic year.  Term 1 (FALL): 8/16 – 12/31  Term 2 (SPRING):1/1 – 5/15  Term 3 (SUMMER):5/16 – 8/15 (These date will change yearly. Please refer to the Academic Calendar on the UNR website)

If the student is not eligible to work in a student employee category and hours have been reported, those hours must be paid by the department as a temporary worker through Business Center North (BCN). A student cannot hold a classified position or Letter of Appointment position with a student position.

10. Position Control Numbers The department must include a position control number (this is not the job board number) on each PAF. Position control numbers are assigned to the department by Planning, Budget and Analysis: 784- 6516 5XXXX

11. Position Control Numbers Our office cannot process the hiring documents unless Planning, Budget and Analysis has “linked” the position number with the department’s account number. Since all student employment positions are temporary, all account lines on the PAF must have an end date. A student PAF can extend for three academic terms/semesters.

12. Earning Codes The following earning codes are used on the PAF to identify the amount of wages charged to the departments budgets.  STU = department is charged 100% of student wages.  Work Study ( FW1 or FW2 ) = the department is charged 25% of student wages and the federal pays 75% of student wages. o FW1 = Fall Work Study o FW2 = Spring Work Study o In some rare cases Non-Need Based Work Study may be awarded to the student by financial aid in this case the earnings codes will be SN1 for Fall and SN2 for Spring.

Federal Work Study recipients may also work off-campus. Off-campus positions require a contract with the University and a deposit for the required matching funds prior to employment. The percentage of an employer contribution for wages differs by agency type- non-profit or for-profit. The off-campus Work Study agreement must be renewed annually.
