Payroll Instructions

1. No student employee may begin working until a completed Student Employment Authorization Form has been returned to the UMF Merrill Center. Please note that a completed Student Employment Authorization form (for each job) must be received in the UMF Merrill Center at least one week before the student may access the time reporting system.  This is required for all work positions - Federal Work-Study, Student Work Initiative, and Department Funded positions.

It is the student's responsibility to enter time worked into the payroll system on a daily basis.  Student employees are not permitted to project anticipated hours to be worked.  Time must be approved by an authorized supervisor.  Time received after the payroll deadline will be held and submitted on the next payroll, a minimum delay of two (2) weeks.
   
3. Students will only be paid hourly wages for hours actually worked and are not eligible for any benefits.
