FALL 2015 CHICAGO-KENT STUDENT AND PT TEMP HIRING
Student Employment Procedures
Payroll Authorizations
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 23, 2015.
The current student pay rate is $12.00 per hour.
STUDENT Payroll Authorizations: Should be done on-line through the EPAF system in the MyIIT portal listing Dawn Rupcich as an approver. Use “sub”-Account “6307" FOR ALL STUDENT EMPLOYEES (FWS AND NON-FWS).
The payroll authorization should be filled out completely listing August 24, 2015 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.
Student Employment End Dates
Use 12/19/2015 for ALL International Students, if a student is a December 2015 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 5/31/2016 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 2015 and Spring 2016 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.
When using the EPAF system for FWS students under “Employee Type” pick Student Employee and under “Position Control #” pick Student Assistant S9988.
The 2016 FWS FOAP is 172088-2521-6307-2100
PT Temporary Non-Benefits Eligible Staff Procedures
PT temporary non-benefits eligible staff can be hired on IIT’s payroll, (you may recall that in the past few years, we were required to hire PT staff through an employment agency).
Temporary Staff Hired on IIT’S Payroll
In addition to the Temporary Justification and the Job Description forms, you must also follow the next four steps:
PLEASE NOTE THAT PT TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT THROUGH IIT CANNOT LAST LONGER THAN ONE (1) YEAR.
All paperwork should be submitted to the Office of Administration and Finance, Suite 265.
Temporary Staff That Are Hired Through an Employment Agency
PAYROLL AUTHORIZATIONS AND ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED BEFORE ANYONE BEGINS WORK
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 Online Time Entry
Time entry is done using IIT's online time entry for all students and staff. For all pay periods, time worked must be entered into the electronic time sheet and submitted for approval by 10:00 am on the first Monday after the pay period ends.
Instructions for Web Time Entry can be found at:
http://www.kentlaw.edu/students/student-timesheet-instructions.pdf
If you have any problems accessing the myIIT portal, please contact IIT OTS Support Desk at 7-3375.
NOTE: If your student fails to input and submit his/her timesheet by 10:00 am on the Monday when timesheets are due, they will run the risk of not getting paid on the scheduled pay date.
If you have questions concerning completion of the on-line time entry after you have read the instructions and logged in, please contact Ariana Monroe, Suite 265, x 65100, or by email amonroe3@kentlaw.iit.edu.

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.
Shuttle Bus Schedule
Updated bus route schedules can be obtained at: http://www.iit.edu/directory/shuttlebus.html
