provided on the Work-Study web site. They can be filled out online, printed,
and signed by both the student and supervisor. As supervisors change,
additional sample signatures should be sent to the Work-Study Office.
Before a Student's First Day of Work:
The following procedure must be completed before Work-Study subsidies take effect. Any hours worked before this procedure has been completed will not be eligible for Work-Study compensation. Employers are responsible for 100% of a student's earnings for time worked without Work-Study authorization. Once the contract has been approved, in order to hire a student, the employer will:
1. Log-on to the Work-Study web site, register the position, print and sign the Job Request and have the student enter their name and Social Security number on the Job Request. This acts as proof of a job offer.
2. Have the student bring the signed Job Request to 212 Sproul Hall, (window hours Monday-Friday, 10am-12pm and 1pm-3pm), to activate their Work-Study and apply it to this position. Do not allow the student to work until this is done. The supervisor and payroll representatives will receive an email confirmation of the student's Work-Study eligibility and ReferralWork/Authorization. The Referral/Work Authorization specifies the Job Title, Hourly Rate, and student Earnings' Limit. It breaks down the employer's and Work-Study's share of earnings to be paid. The agreement stipulates that the employer will be responsible for 100% of any earnings paid to the student in excess of the earnings' limit, or work prior to or after the authorization dates.
3. Once the student has brought the signed Job Request to 212 Sproul and activated their Work-Study, they will be given the Referral/Authorization statement to return to your organization/agency, and an email notification will be sent immediately.
I certify that the information
given above is true and correct to the best of my knowledge; that the
organization above described is a non-profit organization or a
government/public agency; that the organization will provide 100% of a
student's pay if allowed to work prior to the completion of the process
described above or allowed to work in excess of the Work-Study earnings' limit;
and that any student worker(s) provided by the University of California in
connection herewith will not be permitted to engage in any form of political or
religious activity in their employment under this program and is not knowingly
employed to displace or replace any budgeted position or employee of this
organization; and that the required liability insurance coverages, with General
Liability naming the University as "additional insured," will be in effect
