Students Receiving the Faculty/Staff Waiver:
1. Students who receive the waiver are allowed to hold a contracted job as long as they live on campus.
2. Students may not be a direct report to their parent. (They may work in the same department, but may not be under the direct supervision of their parent).
PROCEDURES
1. Department heads are responsible for their annual employment budget. All budgets include campus employment during both the school year and summer.
2. When hiring each spring, departments should reserve 1/3 of their open positions for incoming freshman. Supervisors are responsible for contacting these freshmen with work information via e-mail or campus mail before they arrive on campus.
3. Supervisors must turn in contracts to the Human Resources Office for each employee hired and also fill out the appropriate forms. Supervisors should also notify the Human Resources Office when students quit or are terminated and who will be replacing them.
4. Supervisors should advertise jobs through nwciowa.joinhandshake.com/login.
To ensure this process runs smoothly, the following items must be completed before a student may work. These forms only need filled out once, they do not need to be filled out every year (unless a student needs to make a change to one of the forms).

2. Students are required to electronically log their hours worked through the WorkStudy tab found on the MyNWC portal system. After the supervisor approves and signs, times sheets should be sent to the Human Resources Office. (Note for Student Assistants (TAs): you are responsible for printing your own time sheet and submitting it to your supervisor for approval and their signature).
