Policy Content

  • All student hiring will be done in Workday by managers. Student employment/authorization forms are no longer required.
  • Managers should follow the Hire a Student Work Article for assistance with the student hiring process.
  • New students who have never worked on campus must visit the HR office (Northrup Hall room 210) before starting work to show their original I-9 documents.


Complete & submit the Google Form. The Center for Experiential Learning and Career Success will post the job on Handshake. 
  • Ensure that funds are available in your budgets before hiring student workers.
  • If the student will be paid from a grant/gift/designation/agency or project, please follow the Entering a Costing Allocation instructional article. If not, skip the task to push the hire forward.
  • Once hired, students must complete the onboarding steps in their Workday inbox. Students are also required to complete Form I-9. Per federal law, as an employer, Trinity University is required to verify the identity and employment authorization for all employees within their first 3 workdays.
    • Students must provide original, unexpired documents that establish their identity and citizenship. Please see the I-9 List of Acceptable Documents
  • Department supervisors must ensure that hiring, termination and transfer actions are entered in Workday in a timely fashion to enable proper payment to the student.

 
  • Students can work full-time (over 20 hours per week) when school is not in session (e.g., spring break) or during the summer break.
  • Students can hold concurrent appointments as long as their total work hours do not exceed twenty (20) hours per week while school is in session.
  • Students may be employed in more than one department simultaneously and may receive different wage rates in each position. 
  • Bi-weekly payroll checks will combine wages for students working more than one job, with each department charged proportionately for the wages earned during that pay period.
  • Students with more than one job are responsible for ensuring their hours are correctly entered in Workday. 

 
  • Student employees must reside in the state of TX while working. Any out of state student employment is not approved. 

  • No student shall be employed in a staff position.
  • Students who have graduated are not eligible for student employment.
