Based upon compliance requirements for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA), changes have been made to UPS Operational Policy: GEN 20 on Student Employment which went into effect January 1, 2016.
The updates to the Student Employment Policy include:
- 25 hour per week limitation during the 39-contiguous weeks of the Academic year for all UW System employment and up to 40 hours during designated break periods
- Limiting lump sum payments.
- Recording of hours worked with any lump sum payments that continue.
We have worked through the effects to our campus, including changes in the hiring and payment for student lump sum employees and the monitoring of weekly hour limits for all student employees. We will go through the updated policy and new procedures regarding student employment during the scheduled forums:
- Thursday, March 10, 2016 at 10:00 a.m.
- Tuesday, March 15, 2016 at 11:00 a.m.
- Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at 1:00 p.m.
(Please note each session will be limited to 15 attendees.)
All forums will be held in the Conference Room on the 7th floor of the Cofrin Library, CL 735.
Due to required changes in student employment and payroll procedures, anyone supervising students is required to attend. These will be the last three sessions offered so you must register and attend.
*If you have already attended a session at the end of January/beginning of February, you do not need to attend again.
