Supervisor Training for Payroll Information & the Web Time Sheet System

 Policy 1302 defines student employment and who is eligible to be considered a student employee  The roles and responsibilities of all departments, staff and students involved in the process are clearly defined within the policy  Each area on campus has a designated hiring manager that has been through mandatory training and these individuals are the only people authorized to hire student employees What the Policy Says

 Students cannot work more than 20 hours per week during academic periods and no more than 40 hours per week during break periods  The allowable work hours per week for students during academic and break periods cannot be exceeded even if the student holds multiple jobs on campus – it is your responsibility as a supervisor to work with the other departments to be sure the student is in compliance  Violations of the hours worked per week could lead to your department losing their ability to hire student employees Key Points from the Policy

 Affordable Care Act began in calendar year 2014 and requires that health insurance coverage be given to all employees who work on average 30 or more hours per week  The Commonwealth has adopted a provision in the 2013 Appropriation Act that limits wage employees to working no more than 29 hours per week on average over the course of 12 months  This means no more than 1500 hours can be worked during the measurement period by student workers or regular hourly employees. NO EXCEPTIONS  The ACA measurement period for the Commonwealth will be May 1 – April 30 (This is for student and hourly workers)  Compliance with the allowable work hours per week in Policy 1302 allows student employment to meet the Commonwealth criteria Effect of Affordable Care Act

 We have developed reports that will utilize the web timesheet system to help monitor compliance with allowable work hours per academic and break periods for student employees  These reports also assist in monitoring hourly compliance with the 1500 hour rule  Department heads will be notified if an area under their supervision violates the allowable work hour rules for student employees  Areas that violate the policy could lose their right to employ student workers Monitoring Compliance

 Student wages are set by Human Resources in Policy 1303 – exceptions to pay rates outside of this policy must have prior approval of the Director of Human Resources  The FICA Safe Harbor for student workers applies only when they are enrolled in classes for at least half time – student employees not enrolled in summer courses but continuing education in the Fall will be subject to FICA taxes – non-compliance with the work hours in Policy 1302 can jeopardize this Safe Harbor Other Notable Items
