Hiring of new student workers is being facilitated remotely. While the UCSCIS has temporarily relaxed its requirements related to work authorization verification, it is still required before an individual can perform services for the university. At this time,
the completion of hire intake documents is <b><u>at or exceeding three business days</u></b> (not including entry to UCPath) due to complexities caused by the remote nature of the process. Student workers should not begin performing services until the hiring
manager has received notification from Student Employment Services that the employee has successfully completed all hiring requirements.

Financial Aid issued notice on March 25, 2020 restricting new Federal Work Study hires through the end of the 2019/2020 academic term. As such, Student Employment Services will not accept job postings indicating FWS, nor will we be able to facilitate an intake
session for a worker who presents a new FWS contract. Please contact <a href="mailto:jlingenfelter@ucmerced.edu">
Jodie Lingenfelter</a> in Financial Aid for additional information. <o:p></o:p></li></ul>
