Top Career Services is responsible for coordinating student employment at Salisbury University. We act as a facilitator for students seeking employment and departments requiring part-time employees. We are committed to providing a valuable working/learning experience for students and offering a worthwhile service to departments seeking student employees. The information below is intended to outline current policies and procedures
for students. The policies and procedures outlined below do not apply to
Financial Aid/Work Study and graduate assistantships. Information for those
programs are available at the Financial Aid and Registrar Offices. Career Services is located in Guerrieri University Center, room 133. The telephone number is 36216 (on campus) and 410-543-6216 (off campus). Hours of operation are typically 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Job opportunities may also be viewed at www.salisbury.edu/careerservices/ and click on "On-Campus Jobs". Back

to Top Students seeking on-campus employment need to visit Career Services where the available jobs are advertised. There are a limited number of positions on campus and a large number of students who apply. Because of the competitiveness of the job situation, students are encouraged to visit the Career Services Office and review the job openings frequently. Job openings change as departments place and remove ads depending on personnel needs. Vacancies are greatest the first week of each semester and this is when most jobs are advertised, however a few jobs become available throughout the semester. If a student is hired, the department completes a contract for the student. Contracts are typically written for a complete academic year. However, contracts for specific employment periods are also permitted . Basically, the student agrees to work a certain number of hours per week, be paid only for the hours actually worked and perform the job to the best of his/her ability. From the time the student is hired and completes all paper work, it will be 4 to 6 weeks before the first pay check is received. The first pay check will include all wages due to that pay period. A contract will be written for each job a student has on campus. All paper work will be completed at the hiring department. To be able to work on-campus, students must complete an Employment Eligibility Verification form(I-9). Students are expected to produce a selection of original documents. This includes, but is not limited to; an original Social Security Card, an original Birth Certificate, or Passport. For the complete list of acceptable documents, please check http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pub/se/pdf/I-9.pdf . Failure to produce the documents will result in students not being allowed to work on campus until such documents are presented, further delaying receipt of pay. Departments are encouraged to employ students to work 20 hours or less per week on campus during the academic year. Students taking 6 or more credits and working part-time on campus are exempt from having Social Security (FICA) deducted from their pay. Should a student exceed the number of work hours per week, that exemption is lost and may not be reinstated until the following year. Back to Top It is the department's responsibility to advise their student employees of performance expectations and standards of conduct. A student's orientation to the job should include a discussion of basic policies and procedures established by the employing department, as well as any necessary training. If a student employee's conduct interferes with orderly and efficient operation of a department, corrective actions may be necessary. It is the responsibility of the department to provide the employee with the necessary instruction to perform their job. At the end of each employment period, the supervisor must complete and review a written performance evaluation. The evaluation is then retained by the student. Student employees are encouraged to wear appropriate professional dress while working on campus. Student employees are an extension of the State Work Force at Salisbury University, therefore, it is imperative that they project a professional image to the public. Shoes and shirts must be worn at all times. Some departments require a uniform, and will advise the students of any special requirements. Departments are responsible for establishing and maintaining their own dress code. Back
to Top If there are problems on the job, every effort should be made to be resolved through discussion between the supervisor and the student employee. If it cannot be resolved informally, consult Career services. The contract provides a probation option for both the employee and the employer. During the first two weeks of his/her employment, the student or the employer may choose to withdraw the contract obligation for any reason without penalty. When attempts to correct a problem have failed, termination of employment may be necessary. A student should determine which department will receive their check and request they be put on that department's check distribution list. Back
to Top Students are paid based on departmental budget. Wage increases are based upon job performance and are made at the beginning of each semester or whenever there is a change in the job description. In lieu of a new contract, a Change of Rate Form provides a more efficient method to adjust wages. Supervisors are responsible for monitoring their budgets to insure that sufficient funds are available for student employees. Student employees are paid by check once the necessary paper work has been placed on file. Checks are issued on a bi-weekly basis and distributed after 2 p.m. on every other Wednesday and must be picked up in person. Students pick up their paychecks either from their respective employing department or Holloway Hall, room 228. A single check will be issued for student employees irregardless of the number of jobs they hold on campus. Back
to Top Students who are contracted to work both Fall and Spring Semesters do not need a separate contract for Winter Break if working within the same department. However, all students must have a separate contract for Summer. The Summer contract may have a beginning date of any day after the Spring Semester ends. It is also recommended that students who are rehired for the Fall semester have a contract completed and turned in to the Career Services prior to leaving SU in the Spring Semester. This will prevent any delay in receiving a paycheck when returning in the Fall. Back
to Top The Career Services Office also handles off-campus employment. Students who are interested in off-campus employment are advised to visit the Career Services Office where off-campus jobs are posted. Suggestions/Comments are welcome. Please call Career Services at 36216 or 410-543-6216. Back
