I have worked since the beginning of the semester and haven’t gotten paid yet. What do I need to do to get paid?

  Contact your supervisor first to find out if they have turned in all the required paperwork to the Human Resource Office. The supervisor will then contact the payroll office to find out what else is needed. If the supervisor is not available, you may contact the payroll office directly at extension 6178.

How do I receive the ten cent increase?

  Both you and your supervisor must fill out the performance evaluation that is sent to the supervisor toward the close of the Fall and Spring semesters. Students receiving a score of 40 out of 50 or above will receive the ten cent increase if they return to the same position in the same department the following Spring or Fall semester. There is no increase available for the Summer semester.
