Student Employment Success Information

Rev: 7/27/16

Here is some information to help you be successful in your role. Your department depends on you to perform your responsibilities and positively participate in your role as a student employee*.

  1. Comply with the Instructions/Conditions of Student Employment listed on the Student Work Assignment and Payroll Authorization form which you signed at the time of your employment. By signing it you certified:
    I have read and understand the above rules regarding my employment. I also agree that I will report only those hours I work each pay period and understand a violation of the rules mentioned above may result in the termination of my employment and my dismissal from Northwest College. I understand that I may work up to a maximum of 20 hours per week. I understand the Northwest College regulations governing student employment and that this offer is conditional upon my satisfactory performance of the job. I understand that I must be enrolled in a minimum of six (6) credit hours during the semester (two (2) for summer semester) in which I work.
  2. Do not share or release confidential student information about other students to anyone, including family members of the student, either by phone or in person. If you do not understand what is considered confidential student information, discuss this with your supervisor BEFORE providing any information. Unauthorized release of information may violate federal law and trigger legal ramifications.
  3. A supervisor must be present (on campus) when you are working/on duty.
  4. If instructions are not clear, ask for clarification in order to complete each task accurately. If you are not able to complete an assignment because you don't have the skills or training necessary, tell your supervisor immediately.
  5. Be dependable and always report to work on time. Excessive tardiness or absenteeism may be grounds for termination. Discuss with your supervisor in advance if you know you will be late or absent from work. Notify your supervisor within one hour of the normal starting time if you are ill or unable to work due to extenuating circumstances.
  6. Report any work related injury or illness to your supervisor immediately.
  7. Keep accurate track of your time on the Web Time Entry electronic timesheet. Fill your timesheet out as you work rather than completing the whole timesheet when it is due. Make sure you electronically sign and submit your timesheet to your supervisor by the deadline. (A list of timesheet due dates can be found in the Orendorff Building room 106. )
  8. Inform your supervisor of any hazards or safety concerns.
  9. Recognize that supervisors count on student employees to work.
  10. Act in a professional manner concerning all aspects of your work.
  11. Respond positively to constructive criticism.
  12. Establish good working relationships with your supervisor and other employees.
  13. Be polite and courteous at all times.
  14. Dress appropriately for your job.
  15. Always perform your assigned duties to the best of your ability.
  16. Discuss expectations regarding lunch and rest breaks with your supervisor.
  17. Refrain from having family or friends visit during scheduled work times.
  18. Discuss the use of personal cell phones during work hours with your supervisor. Extended personal phone calls or texting during work hours is considered inappropriate.
  19. Inform your supervisor if you are going to have to end your employment for any reason. The customary notice time is 2 weeks advance notice.

CONSIDER YOUR PART TIME-POSITION AS AN IMPORTANT JOB THAT WILL HELP YOU BUILD SKILLS AND POSITIVELY SUPPORT YOUR FUTURE WORK OPPORTUNITIES!

*Student employment is temporary, is not guaranteed from one semester to the next, and may be discontinued at any time for any reason.
