[Important Information for Employees] Student Employment Information

[Sarah Reyell]

SENT OF BEHALF OF STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES, PAYROLL SERVICES, HUMAN
RESOURCE SERVICES, AND THE CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTER

As we near the end of the fall semester, I wanted to share some important
information with the campus regarding student employment. First and
foremost, we are here to support our students. A way we can do this is by
offering on-campus employment opportunities to them. There are two separate
student payrolls, Student Temp Service and Federal Work Study (FWS).
Student Temp Service comes out of departmental budgets, FWS does not.
Student Financial Services awards FWS to eligible students and many
students receive FWS as part of their financial aid package. You are
encouraged to hire work study students whenever possible if you have an FWS
budget for the fiscal year.

FWS Budget Coordinators

FWS budgets are coordinated by the FWS designee within your division and
Student Financial Services. Below are the FWS designees for each division:

   -

   Academic Affairs: Gregory Withrow (gregory.withrow at plattsburgh.edu)
   -

   Administration and Finance: Todd Moravec (todd.moravec at plattsburgh.edu)
   -

   Enrollment and Student Success: Cori Jackson (jacksoc at plattsburgh.edu)
   -

   Institutional Advancement: David Gregoire (gregoidp at plattsburgh.edu)

Federal Work Study/Student Temp Service Updates

   -

   If you have a budget for FWS and are not using it, please notify the FWS
   designee within your division so that money can be released and reallocated
   to other departments. If your department does not have a budget for FWS but
   would like to, contact the designee within your division to request one.
   -

   If your department has both types of funding available, use FWS first.
   -

   If you have identified a student that does not currently have FWS
   awarded to them, contact Student Financial Services to evaluate their
   eligibility (sfs at plattsburgh.edu). In some cases, they may be eligible
   for FWS and were not originally offered an award due to budgetary
   constraints.

Recruiting for Student Employees Requirements

   -

   Vacant student positions must be posted with the Career Development
   Center through Handshake
   <https://sunyplattsburgh.joinhandshake.com/login>for a minimum of 3
   business days.  The Career Development Center is available to guide you
   through the process to make your student search as successful as possible.
   -

   Training sessions have been scheduled to help on-campus employers use
   Handshake.

o   Wednesday, January 5th @1pm in the Alumni Conference Room, or

o   Wednesday, January 26th @10am in the Alumni Conference Room

   -

   We realize we are competing with off-campus employers, so if you are
   struggling to fill your vacant student positions, reach out to the Career
   Development Center at career at plattsburgh.edu or 518-564-2071 for
   guidance.

 Minimum Wage Increase Effective Dec. 23

   -

   Effective with the payroll period beginning December 23rd, the minimum
   wage will increase to $13.20/hr.  All active Temp Service and Work Study
   student employees will automatically be increased to the new minimum wage.
   -

   Payroll Services will be sending spreadsheets to each supervisor of
   student employees to allow for any rate changes above $13.20/hr.
   -

   The maximum hourly rate that can be paid to student employees without
   additional approval will be $14.00/hr.  The maximum hourly rate that can be
   paid to student employees with Human Resource Services approval is
   $15.00/hr.

department:
