SUMMER 2012 CHICAGO-KENT STUDENT HIRING

A new Payroll Authorization must be completed for all student and Part-Time (PT) Temporary “non-benefits eligible” employees who will continue to work for you after May 26 th . (Note: this year the "Summer Term" runs from May 27 through August 25, 2012).

STUDENT Payroll Authorizations: Should be done on-line

PT TEMPORARY STAFF (non-benefits eligible folks) Payroll Authorizations : Should be done on “ hard-copy”. Payroll Authorizations are available in the OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE, SUITE 265 or on-line at http://www.iit.edu/policy_procedures/forms/pay_payroll_authorization_form.pdf

The Payroll Authorization should be filled out completely listing May 27, 2012 as the “Effective Date” of employment and must be submitted on or before this date.

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.

Below lists the criteria for Student Worker status vs PT Temporary status for the summer term:

STUDENT EMPLOYEE STATUS (use “sub”-Account “6307")

In order for a student to qualify for “student status” under IRS regulations (i.e., exempt from FICA tax), the student must be registered for at least THREE (3) credit hours during the summer term.

PT TEMPORARY/NON STUDENT STATUS (use “sub”-Account “6325")

Use “sub”-Account “6325" for PT Temporary staff. You should also use “6325” for student employees that are not registered for at least three (3) credit hours during the summer 2012 term since they are considered a PT Temporary employee. FICA taxes will be taken out of PT Temporary employee paychecks and the employer FICA match will be charged to your account (the FICA rate is currently 7.65%).

FEDERAL WORK STUDY (FWS) for Community Service Positions ONLY

FWS funding for community service positions is available for the last pay period in spring (May 13 th – 26 th) and over the summer term. These positions are funded 100% by the federal government. There are two very important things to note for FWS employment for the summer term as follows:

1. FWS is for IIT Approved Community Service positions only and is NOT available for hiring of faculty research assistants or general departmental employment during the summer term.

2. Unlike general student employment during the summer (where a student must be enrolled for 3-credit hours to qualify for “student status”), students who qualify for FWS community service positions through their financial aid award do NOT need to be enrolled for classes during the summer term. To qualify for FWS during the summer, a student must be considered a “matriculating” student which is defined as a student who is registered or plans to register for the fall 2012 term and who has been offered and accepted FWS for the summer term/s.

FWS Community Service Employment Paperwork:

Two (and possibly three) Payroll Authorizations may need to be completed for FWS Community Service positions, dependent upon the start date.

A Payroll Authorization needs to be done for those students who begin their FWS Community Service jobs anytime during the pay period May 13 th through May 26 th. You should use FOAP 341025-207A-6309-2451 .

A Payroll Authorization needs to be done for the start of the summer payroll term which covers the first portion of the summer session which falls under the 2011-12 financial aid award year. The start date should be May 27 th (or thereafter if a student begins work after May 27 th) and list June 30 th as the end date. You should use FOAP 341025-207A-6309-2451 .

The second portion of the summer session falls under the 2012-13 financial aid award year. Another Payroll Authorization will need to be completed with a start date of July 1 st and an end date of August 25 th, 2012. For the second portion, you should use FOAP 341035 -207A-6309-2451 (which is a different Fund number than the first portion of summer to distinguish between the two different FA award terms).

 

STUDENT PAY RATES

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

Please contact Administration and Finance if you have any questions

DEFIBRILLATOR AT THE DOWNTOWN CAMPUS!!!

The Downtown Campus has an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to make early defibrillation immediately available in cardiac emergencies.

WHAT IS SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST (SCA)?
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen anywhere, to anyone, at anytime, without warning, without symptoms, and regardless of age or health. SCA is most often caused by an electrical malfunction that makes the heart quiver ineffectively. Defibrillation, an electric shock across the heart, is the only effective treatment for this malfunction. It stops the ineffective quivering and allows a coordinated heart rhythm to resume. Surviving SCA is largely dependent on how quickly the patient is defibrillated.

TYPICAL INDICATIONS THAT SOMEONE IS EXPERIENCING SCA:

  • An abnormal or racing heart beat
  • Feeling faint or dizzy due to loss of blood flow
  • Abnormal breathing
  • Loss of blood pressure and pulse
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Unresponsive

WHEN SCA STRIKES, EVERY MINUTE COUNTS.
Every minute counts when sudden cardiac arrest strikes. The new HeartStart AED unit is located at the front lobby desk where it will be readily accessible to emergency responders. Everyone at the IIT Downtown Campus can make a lifesaving difference in a medical emergency by immediately calling 911 and the DTC Security Officer on duty (ext 6-5030 using a campus phone or 312-906-5030 using a cell phone). Be sure to specifically identify the location of the victim so a trained responder can be dispatched to the scene.

DTC STAFF TRAINING:
A group of staff at the DTC have received CPR/AED training from the American Red Cross program; those trained include all of the engineering and Public Safety Officers, three library staff members and several other staff at both Chicago-Kent and Stuart. If you believe a person is experiencing SCA, please attempt to locate a trained responder by calling security as noted above. However, it is important to note that the HeartStart AED that we purchased is specifically designed to be used by virtually anyone. It actually walks the user/responder through the process with verbal instructions and other commands during the entire process. The unit has a safety feature that analyzes the victim before allowing an electric shock to be administered. In an emergency situation and in the absence of a trained user, an AED user who acts in good faith and without compensation is protected from civil liability under Illinois' Automated External Defibrillator Act, except for willful and wanton misconduct.

Please contact Dawn E. Rupcich, Assistant Vice President or Rob Ulcigrai, Chief Engineer if you have any questions.

Downtown Campus Safety Tips

Do not travel alone in public areas, or stand alone at the bus stop, or corner. Keep alert for person(s) following you. Be wary of strangers offering assistance. Don't openly wear or display jewelry or handbags. The Downtown Campus of IIT provides year-round security officer escorts after 5:00 PM weekdays and on weekends.
