Student Assistants and Work Study Electronic Sign-Up Process
STUDENTS MAY NOT WORK UNTIL SIGN-UPS ARE COMPLETE
Start the process 2 weeks before the Student will begin work.
Instructions for Departments
We are excited to announce that once this form is successfully submitted for each student, you will no longer have to initiate the New Hire form. This appointment document not only initiates the sign-up process but will also notify HR of the need for specific background checks!
When a student is appointed to more than one position, a separate appointment document has to be made for each unit (department) that the work is being funded out of. Additionally, if you are hiring a student in the federal work-study classification of 1871 or 1870, please file a concurrent regular student assistant appointment in the event that the federal work-study funds are exhausted.
Note: If you need to make changes to already active student appointments, please use the following form
Student Worker Appointment Change
Below is the link to the video guide for filling out the appointment document. As a reminder, payroll will also be holding weekly drop-in help sessions to answer questions and troubleshoot any issues you may have. You can find the dates and times for our weekly drop-in sessions, along with monthly deadlines and other training guides and tutorials as they are released on our department website https://payroll.humboldt.edu

Departments are responsible for sending the Telecommute Agreement and/or the Supervisor Checklist, depending on the location of the employee’s work

The rest of the process looks like this
- HR will send the appropriate sign-up packet to the new hire.
- HR will determine if an I-9 is needed and will send the electronic form to the new hire via I-9 Tracker.
- Once the sign-up packet and I-9 form (if needed) are received back in HR, you will be sent an email that your new hire is cleared to start work.
