Reminders for Student Assistant Employment and Scheduling
Semester Breaks
When school is not in session due to semester breaks (outside of the academic semester), continuing Student Assistants may work up to a maximum of 40 hours per week, but may not be scheduled to work overtime. Overtime is defined as more than 40 hours per work week (work week is defined as Sunday through Saturday). A schedule may exceed 8 hours a day provided the total for the work week does not exceed 40 hours. The Controller's Office will not issue payments to Student Assistants in excess of 168 hours for a 21-day period, nor in excess of 176 hours for a 22-day period.
Academic Semesters
During the Academic Semester (please see CSUN campus academic calendar), Student Assistants may work up to, but not in excess of, 20 hours per week total in all positions combined. Please remember to coordinate with the student and the other department(s) where there are multiple appointments.
Split Weeks
When the academic semester starts, or ends, in the middle of a work week it is a “split” week.
The FIRST day of the Fall semester is Wednesday, August 23, 2017.
Total hours that can be worked in this “split” week scenario is 28 hours.
Human Resources has traditionally provided a copy of the SPAR (Student Payroll Action Request) form to the student to provide their department proof of completing the sign in process.
However, the SPAR contains the student’s SSN (social Security number) as well as their date of birth which are considered Level I data and therefore, confidential.
As such, we will no longer provide a copy of the SPAR for the student to give to their supervisor. Instead, we will date stamp the New Employee Sign In Form and have the student provide you with that as proof of completing the sign in process.
As a reminder to all managers, the completed Report of Employee Performance and any attachments must be copied and distributed by the evaluator as follows:
You no longer need to send physical copies to Human Resources!
