I accepted a job on campus. How do I get paid for the hours I work?

If you have not previously worked on campus or are a returning student employee with a break in student registration, please note the following: After a job offer is extended and accepted, students must complete required payroll paperwork before their first day of employment . When employment paperwork is required, students should bring a copy of their employment offer letter to Student Employment. Students will complete all required forms through Student Employment . Please refer to that website for hours and location. Returning student employees do not need to complete new paperwork unless there is a break in student registration. Students will complete an I-9, applicable tax forms, and a direct deposit form. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services requires that student employees provide original, unexpired documents , called Acceptable Documents , to complete their I-9 form. These documents provide proof of identity and eligibility to work in the United States. Students may provide one document from List A or one document from both List B and List C to complete the I-9 Form. The University cannot accept photocopies, PDF’s or faxes of documents required to complete the I-9. After students complete all required forms, Student Employment will issue an approved "New Hire Checklist" form, authorizing the student to begin work. The student should present this form to the hiring manager, who will finalize the hiring process. After the hiring process is finalized, the student will be able to log hours worked and will be paid via direct deposit or Dayforce Wallet.

What if I don't have my original Social Security Card? Can I bring a copy of the card or provide the number?

Per Federal Government guidelines (Department of Homeland Security), the original of a social security card is the only sufficient form of the document that can be accepted. No faxes, photocopies, or other documentation is allowed as proof of citizenship.
