OFFICE OF STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES
September 14, 1994
KEY ADMINISTRATORS/KEY SUPPORT STAFF
SUBJECT: | Federal/State/Institutional Work-Study Programs |
REFERENCE: PPM 250-6.1, STUDENT EMPLOYMENT WORK-STUDY
The following information is provided for you regarding the 1994-95 Work-Study
Programs:
SPLIT: The department portion will remain at 40%. This departmental
percentage is subject to change during the year due to
revisions in funding or student need.
PROGRAM
DATES: Students may begin work on Monday, September 19, 1994, and
may continue through Saturday, June 17, 1995, or when their
Work-Study awards are depleted, whichever occurs first.
REVISIONS: Our office does not anticipate converting additional earnings
or loans to Work-Study for the 1994-95 academic year.
JOB POSTING: Work-Study funded jobs will continue to be available on a
phone in system called TELE-JOB through the Job
Opportunities Program. Departments must specify which
employment requisitions are for positions funded with any
type of Federal funds, including Federal Work-Study.
WORK-STUDY
DESIGNATION: When employing students on the Work-Study Program, depart-
ments must indicate "F" for Federal Work-Study, "S" for
State Work-Study or "I" for Institutional Work-Study on the
Personnel Action Form (PAF) in the W S P box. Failure to
properly code the W S P box will result in 100% of
the student's earnings being charged to the department.
Also, the same W S P coding must be included on specials
and adjustment PTRs. It is the responsibility of the depart-
ments to carefully review their Distribution of
Payroll Expense Report (DOPES) 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 on the reverse side.
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. This will result in
100% of the earnings being charged to the department.
Please review your monthly ledgers to identify students who
have been paid 100% department funds even though employed
on Work-Study. Questions about the cap for individual
students should be directed to the appropriate college
unit at Student Financial Services 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 his/her 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 up to 40 hours
per week.
Sick leave, vacation or holiday pay may not be paid on any
Work-Study funds per Federal, State and Institutional
Agreements.
The work schedule should be a mutual agreement between the
employer and the employee. Questions regarding employee
performance, schedule, etc., should be directed to the
Job Opportunities Program, x44472.
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
Payroll Time Report (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.
