Information for Supervisors & Students

Students must be registered and taking classes during the dates of employment to be employees on the Temp Service Student Payroll (SAP) or the Work Study Payroll.

• Appointment forms are required for all SAP employees; only the student may turn in a completed appointment form to the Student Employment Coordinator to be considered for the SAP or Work Study payrolls.
• An official “award” needs to be on file to be on the Federal Work Study payroll
• Fall/Spring appointment dates must end Wednesday AFTER May graduation
• New Appointment forms need to be submitted for SAP Summer appointments; Summer appointment dates start Thursday after May graduation through the beginning of the pay period preceding the first day of classes
• Due to COVID, all checks and advices are mailed to employees to their legal address, unless another address has been provided to the HR/Payroll Offices.

Do not allow a student to work until all paperwork has been completed and submitted to the Student Employment Coordinator for processing.

• Supervisors must complete their portion in the top section (i.e. account, rate of pay, etc)– Note: All hiring managers/supervisors who intend to hire temp service employees must now acquire signature approval from their Cabinet Member and the Vice President for Administration, Julie Piscitello.
• Once signature approvals are acquired, the student employee can be offered employment and must fill in the middle section of the form with their personal information.
• All information must be completed.
• Separate appointment forms are required for different account numbers as well as for different rates of pay.

Account Numbers & Rates of pay for the SAP Payroll

The student must submit a new appointment form for account number or rate of pay changes. The effective date should be the beginning of a pay period recorded in the “dates of employment” field.

Changing a student’s rate of pay:

• The student must submit a completed appointment form with the new rate of pay in the “hourly rate” field
• The effective date for the rate change is recorded in the “dates of employment” area

Important!

• Students with more than one job (same or different payrolls) will have more than one timesheet record to complete each pay period worked. It is the Students’ responsibility to select the correct timesheet and this is to be verified/approved by the appropriate supervisor.
• Students having TWO rates of pay with the SAME account number must submit separate online timesheets for each rate of pay.
• Students are responsible for keeping track of the balance of their Work Study award; at any point in time students can contact Financial Aid to obtain this information.

• If a timesheet is not displayed for a commitment, please contact your supervisor to ensure all paperwork has been submitted to correct departments.
• Any timesheet(s) submitted to the Supervisor and/or approved by the Supervisor after the submission deadline are considered LATE, and payment will not be processed until the next payroll.
• Per SUNY, Student Assistant Position policy #8300, Student Assistants on the SAP Payroll must be limited to a maximum of 29 hours per week combined at all times, including semester breaks and during the summer.
• Check for accuracy and completeness using the timesheet rules before submitting.
• Hours worked must be recorded on the correct day in the appropriate timesheet week.
• After working 6 hours for SAP or 5 hours for Work Study, students must show a break of at least 30 minutes.
• Students on both Payrolls are restricted to working a total of 20 hours per week while school is in session; in the event a student works over 20 hours the Supervisor must indicate in the comments box that the student is in good academic standing.
