OFFICE OF STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES
September 25, 1995
KEY ADMINISTRATORS/KEY SUPPORT STAFF
SUBJECT: FEDERAL/STATE/INSTITUTIONAL WORK-STUDY PROGRAMS
REFERENCE: PPM 250-6.1, STUDENT EMPLOYMENT WORK-STUDY
Work-Study program funds are provided to help meet a student's financial need while providing the student an opportunity to work, rather than borrow. In keeping with the spirit of the program, we encourage the development of jobs which will offer our students an opportunity for major- or career-related work experience. Additionally, we are required by Federal Regulations to ensure that a portion of our Work-Study funds are used for community service work. We ask that you keep these objectives in mind when developing jobs for our students.
SPLIT: The department matching portion will be 50%. This change is necessary to ensure that there are sufficient Work-Study Program funds to meet the needs of UCSD students this year.
PROGRAM
DATES: Students may begin work on Monday, September 18, 1995, and may continue through Saturday, June 15, 1996, or when their Work-Study awards are depleted, whichever occurs first.
REVISIONS: At this time, our office does not anticipate converting additional earnings or loans to Work-Study for the 1995-96 academic year.
JOB POSTING: Work-Study funded jobs will be available on Tele-Job, a phone-in service offered by the Job Opportunities Program of Career Services, via Infopath and on computers located in the C3 area on the first floor in Career Services. Departments must specify on the vacancy listings which positions are funded with any type of Federal funds, including Federal Work-Study.
WORK-STUDY
DESIGNATION: When employing students on the Work-Study Program, departments must indicate "F" for Federal Work-Study in the WSP field of the Personnel Action Form (PAF) or "EAPC" screen in the Payroll Personnel System (PPS). Failure to properly code these fields will result in 100% of the student's earnings being charged to the department. Also, the same coding must be included on specials and adjustment University Payroll Time Reports (PTRs). It is the responsibility of the departments to carefully review their DOPEs (Distribution of Payroll Expense Report) to ensure that their payroll documents have been key entered correctly. Problems with payroll key entry should be directed to the Payroll Office at the extensions listed below.
PAYROLL CAP: The Work-Study Program Cap prevents a charge to the Work-Study program if the student has reached the maximum the student is permitted to earn. After the maximum is reached, 100% of the student's earnings will be charged to the department. Questions about the cap for individual students should be directed to the appropriate college unit at Student Financial Services (SFS) at the numbers listed below.
AWARD
AMOUNT: The Work-Study award amount appearing on the Financial
Aid Award Letter is the gross earnings amount. This amount includes the department's portion. It is unlawful to require the Work-Study recipient to repay or otherwise be responsible for meeting the department's portion. Please be aware that award amounts often change throughout the year because of revisions to the student's awards. Also be aware that the student may have been previously employed by another department on Work-Study funds and
may have already earned a portion of the Work-Study award. If you have any questions regarding the current Work-Study award amount, please call SFS at the appropriate extension listed below.
NO TIME
PROJECTION: Regulations do not allow the projections of earnings beyond the date the time sheet is signed and submitted.
WORK
HOURS: Students employed on Work-Study may work a maximum of 40 hours per week, though we recommend less than 20 hours a a week while the student is attending classes.
Sick leave, vacation or holiday pay may not be paid on any Work-Study funds.
The work schedule should be a mutual agreement between the employer and the employee.
MONTHLY
AUDIT: Immediately after each pay period, please forward a copy of the completed University PTR to the appropriate SFS unit at the mail codes listed below with the breakdown of hours worked on a daily basis, departmental and student signatures, and dates.
Regulations require that Student Financial Services perform a detailed audit of Work-Study earnings. The University PTR is considered the common time sheet. Our office will not accept individualized department timesheets.
Student Financial Services will audit payments made on Work-Study program funds and request copies of missing or incomplete PTRs. If a copy of the requested PTR is not submitted by the date requested, then the charge for the prior Work-Study payment associated with the requested PTR will be reversed and applied to your department account at 100%. The department will be notified when this occurs. Departments who repeatedly fail to follow the Work-Study procedures will be excluded from hiring Work-Study students. Please note that the original PTR should always be forwarded to Payroll. For audit purposes, Student Financial Services requires a photocopy and not the original PTR.
COMPLIANCE: Failure to comply with the Work-Study regulations may result in the termination of Work-Study employees in your department.
