The following are guidelines to assist you in hiring students during summer sessions:
• Summer session appointments may be made if the student has been enrolled for the current Spring semester and is planning on attending in the Fall.
• Students who have graduated and who are not admitted/enrolled for either the Summer or Fall semester are not eligible for appointment as Student Assistants. The last day that a graduating student may work this semester is May 27th, the last day of the academic year. Also, Student Assistants will need to follow the 20 hours per week cap during that last week of the academic semester, regardless if they are finished with their finals earlier in the week.
• If a student is enrolled at least half time (6 or more units for undergraduate students or 4 or more units for graduate students) cumulatively during the Summer session, the student may be appointed as a Student Assistant. He/she may work up to, but not in excess of, 20 hours per week total in all positions. The CSU policy for Student Assistants limits their normal working hours to 20 per week during academic sessions.
• If the eligible student (see 1st statement above), is not enrolled, or is enrolled in less than half time for a summer session, they may work as a “taxable” Student Assistant (Job Code 1874). They 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 week. A schedule may exceed 8 hours a day, provided the total for the week does not exceed 40 hours. Overtime should not be authorized, because the State Controller's Office will not issue payments to Student Assistants in excess of 168 hours for a 21-day pay period, or in excess of 176 hours for a 22-day pay period.
If you have questions regarding International Students and eligibility to work over the summer, please contact the International Exchange Student Center (IESC) for their review and clarification of the International Student’s status and eligibility to work.
Specific information for summer student employment options may be found in the “Summer 2016 Student Employee Hiring & Processing Workshop Guide” which can be accessed in the Managers & HR Facilitators’ Toolkit webpage beginning in May 2016.
