FALL 2012 CHICAGO-KENT STUDENT HIRING

A new payroll authorization must be completed for all student and PT temporary “non-benefits eligible” employees who are newly hired or will continue to work for you after the summer term ends on August 19, 2012.

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

PART-TIME TEMPORARY STAFF (non-benefits eligible folks): Should be done on “hard-copy” - Payroll authorizations are available in the OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE, Suite 265 or at http://www.iit.edu/policy_procedures/forms/pay_payroll_authorization_form.pdf
Use “sub”-Account “6325" for PT.

The payroll authorization should be filled out completely listing August 20, 2012 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.


STUDENT EMPLOYMENT END DATES

Use 12/21/2012 for ALL International Students, if a student is a December 2012 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 5/31/2013 if you want to hire students for the entire school year.

FEDERAL WORK STUDY (FWS)

FWS funding for community service positions will be available during the Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 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.

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 2013 FWS FOAP is 341035 207A 6309 2451.

The student pay rate will remain at $10.00 per hour. Please contact me 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 Dean 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. 

Credit Card Cancellation Information
