Can graduate students hold multiple positions?
They can, within some limits. Domestic graduate students may work up to 25 hours per week, as long as they're not in a GA, ILSIP, or PAR role. Because hour limits and appointment restrictions need to be monitored carefully, it's worth confirming the specifics before adding a position. Student Employment can help you check eligibility at studentemployment@uis.edu.
Why can't my student see their timesheet?
A few things can cause this. The most common are that the position isn't active, the time reporting method is incorrect, the time approver is missing or incorrect, or the new hire paperwork isn't complete. Reviewing those usually resolves it, and if it doesn't, Student Employment can help you dig in at studentemployment@uis.edu.
Can Federal Work-Study students exceed their award?
Yes, they can. Just keep in mind that once a student reaches their Federal Work-Study award limit, the department becomes responsible for the student's wages from that point on. If you'd like help monitoring where a student stands relative to their award, Student Employment can assist at studentemployment@uis.edu.
