STUDENT WORKER 30-HOUR RULE **IF YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SCHEDULING OR AUTHORIZING STUDENT WORKERS HOURS PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING POLICY. The Internal Revenue Service has removed the limit of 20-hour per week ruling that student employees can work. Effective December 15, 1998, student employees will be allowed to work 30-hours per week during the academic year, (students will still be able to work 40 hours during breaks). This will supercede the 20-hour rule language found on page 6 of the Student Employee Handbook and page 5 of the Supervisor's Manual. EXCEPTION TO THE ABOVE IRS RULING: If you have a student employee who is an International Student, they are still only allowed to work 20-hours per week during the academic school year. Any violation of these rules/policies will result in an immediate two week suspension of the student's employment on campus, and that vacant position can not be filled during that two weeks. A student may be reinstated to the same job upon the recommendation of the supervisor following the two-week suspension. However, a second violation by the same student during the school year will result in the loss of employment by the student, at the College, for the remaining part of that school year. Note: Please keep in mind that individual work study awards will not increase due to this change nor departments student assistant accounts. Student 30-hour rule 12/15/98
