[Studentemployment] Fall Student Employment Reminders

[Student Employment]

Colleagues,

As we gear up to start our fall semester, departments are busy preparing to welcome our students back to campus.  With that comes planning for students to resume or start new on-campus jobs.

Student Employment Services would like to take a moment to remind our campus hiring managers of a few important reminders.

Hours of Work:  During the academic year, students may work no more than 18 hours per week for all jobs combined.  The start of the 18-hour work week will start on Monday, August 21, 2023.  We understand that some departments may need to utilize students to prepare for the return to campus.  Hours worked more than 18 during the first week of instruction should be done on an exception basis, with full consideration of the student’s class schedule and personal needs.

Note:  Students should not be working more than 40 hours per week leading up to the start of the fall semester (or during breaks that allow work beyond 18 hours per week such as winter, spring, or summer periods).  Please discuss training and other needs to ensure that students are not engaging in compensable activities that may cause them to work more than 40 hours per week, also being mindful of excessive consecutive days of work (training done on weekends when they’ve worked a normal shift all week, etc.)

Intake/Onboarding:  Intake is being facilitated on campus via appointment in room KL122G (lobby of the Kolligian Library).  When a hiring manager submits the Student Intake Request<https://studentjobs.ucmerced.edu/form/student-assistant-intake-request>, the student automatically receives a notification with instructions related to the intake process and how to schedule an appointment via Handshake.

IMPORTANT:  Students may NOT begin performing services (or engaging in mandatory training) until they have successfully completed all necessary hiring documents and the hiring manager has received the “clear to work” notification from Student Employment Services.

UCPath:  While hire transactions are processed locally, UC Merced uses the systemwide mandated UCPath system.  Due to the seasonal uptick of hires across the system, some new/rehire appointments may take several days to become active in both the UCPath system and TRS.

SES Website:  Please remember to visit the Student Employment Services website<https://studentjobs.ucmerced.edu/> for update information, tools and instructions related to on-campus student employment.

We look forward to welcoming our students back to campus and thank you in advance for your patience, support, and partnership.
