**Budgetary Approval is the responsibility of the hiring department.

Note: All paperwork MUST be completed and submitted to the Office of Administration and Finance, Suite 265, prior to the student's first day of employment. For a student to perform a service without proper employment authorization is a violation. Both the individual and the employer are subject to possible sanctions by the Department of Labor and/or the INS.

International Students Without SSN

• An EPAF must be completed online by the hiring department.
• Once the EPAF is completed, the system will automatically send an email containing an Employment Letter to the individual who entered the EPAF.
• The letter must be completed and signed then given to the student who will take the Employment Letter to the International Student's Office, MB 405, for their signature and approval.
  
• The student will take the applicable paperwork to the Social Security Administration Office, who will issue a receipt for applying for a Social Security Card.
• The receipt is taken to the Student Employment Office, SEO, MC, Galvin Library Upper Level

NOTE: International Students MUST NOT work until this process is completed and approval is given by the International Center.

Graduated International Students

• Not eligible for on-campus employment (includes TA/RA)

**If your student assistant is an International Student, a PA must be completed for each term.

FALL 2010 CHICAGO-KENT STUDENT HIRING

A new payroll authorization must be completed for all student employees who are newly hired or will continue to work for you after the summer term ends on August 21, 2010.

STUDENT Payroll Authorizations: Should be done on-line.
Use "sub"-Account "6307" for NON-WORK STUDY and"6309" for WORK STUDY ELIGIBLE students.

The payroll authorization should be filled out completely listing August 22, 2010 or thereafter (if the official hire date is later in the term) as the "Effective Date" of employment and must be submitted on or before work begins.

It should be noted that for new hires, pursuant to federal law and IIT Policy, the Payroll Authorization and other tax, I-9 and Direct Deposit Authorization Forms must be submitted to the Office of Administration and Finance for processing before anyone begins working for you. There have been a few recent cases in which the required paperwork was submitted after the student/PT Temp began working. This puts the institution at risk with the federal government and could result in the possible termination of federal financial aid. Therefore, please be sure to adhere to this critical policy.

The student pay rate will remain at $10.00 per hour.

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT END DATES

Use 12/31/2010 for ALL International Students, if a student is a December 2010 graduate and/or if you are unsure whether to hire him/her through the end of the school year. (A new Payroll Authorization must be done each term for international students.)

Use 5/31/2011 if you want to hire students for the entire school year.

FEDERAL WORK STUDY (FWS)

Community Service FWS
FWS funding for community service positions will be available during the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 semesters. IIT approved Community Service positions are funded 100% by the federal government and are NOT available for hiring of faculty research assistants or general departmental employment.

General FWS
Faculty research assistants and general departmental employment for FWS eligible students can be hired at 50% FWS funding and 50% faculty/departmental funding during the Fall and Spring semesters only. The reason that the general work study split is different than last year (75% FWS/25% dept) is because FWS support from the federal government was significantly less than previous year levels.

The 2011 FWS FOAP is 341025 207A 6309 2451.

Student Online Time Entry

Time entry is conducted through IIT's online time entry for all students and staff. Instructions for Web Time Entry can be found at: http://www.kentlaw.edu/students/student-timesheet-instructions.pdf.
Please print out this "Timekeeping Manual" for student workers so that you have it as a reference for each pay period you will need to enter time worked on-line.

If you have any problems accessing the myIIT portal, please contact IIT OTS Support Desk at 73375.
