Conservatory Student Employment Procedures and Policies

Finding a Job on Campus

1st

Attend one of the two mandatory student employment meetings during Orientation to determine the availability of employment on campus and learn how to apply for a job. Job descriptions are posted on the first day of classes on the bulletin board in the Student Center, on the website and sent via email. Students with workstudy awards from their financial aid packages (WS) are only allowed one job – any additional jobs much be conservatory employment (CE). Most positions on campus pay $8 an hour, tutors pay $10 – off campus pays $12 an hour.

2nd

Determine what jobs you are interested in and make an appointment to interview with the supervisor. Have a resume of past work experience available.

3rd

After you are hired, your supervisor must first email the information to Christopher Reade, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs. If you are a student who has worked on campus before, all you'll need to do is provide your supervisor with your barcode number which will be sent out to be activated. The payroll office will then email your supervisor to let them know you can begin working.

4th

If you have not worked on campus before*, you will need to either come to the Student Resource Center office to pick up your payroll paperwork or find it listed on the web under Career Services. For this paperwork please remember to bring at least two forms of ID (passport or a social security card, birth certificate and photo ID). You will also need to bring a voided check to sign up for direct deposit (which is now mandatory for payroll).

Once you have completed your paperwork, you will visit the Business Office, located in the lower level of 32 The Fenway, to see Kathleen Arcovio to be entered into the payroll system and obtain a bar code on your ID in order to swipe in for your hours. These swipe machines are located in the Student Center, basement of 8 the Fenway, and 31 Hemenway Street.

All students must sign a confidentiality agreement at the beginning of every year. You MUST sign them and return them to the Student Resource Center or risk facing disciplinary action.

5th

YOU CANNOT BEGIN WORKING UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS PROCESS AND HAVE BEEN CLEARED BY KATHLEEN ARCOVIO TO BEGIN WORK.

*Please note: If you are an international student and do not have a social security number, you must obtain a letter from Christoher Reade and bring it to the Director of International Student Affairs for a signature that you will then bring to the Social Security Office. You cannot begin working on campus until you have gone to the Social Security Office, obtained your application for your card and completed your payroll paperwork.

Working on Campus

Keeping track of your hours

All students are required to use the time clocks to keep a record of the hours they work. Time clocks are located in the basement of 8 The Fenway, Student Center, and basement of 31 Hemenway. All students working on campus must use the time clock. Timesheets may be an option depending on the job circumstances.

Work week schedule

The work week begins on Saturday and ends on Friday. (If you are working off campus, remember that timesheets must be turned it to your supervisor weekly – on Mondays before 2pm.)

Getting paid:

Paychecks will be directly deposited into your bank account. Pay stubs are available online via the iPay program. See program sheet from the Business office for details on how to create an account.

Keeping track of your WS award money

Students are responsible for tracking their WS awards. Your award amount and money earned will be shown on each paycheck stub. Students cannot earn more than the amount listed on their contracts. REMEMBER THESE AMOUNTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED BUT REPRESENT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT A STUDENT CAN EARN.

General Work Policies

• • You should arrange your work schedule with the job supervisor so that it will in no way impede academic performance or interfere with class attendance.


• Once the work schedule has been established, you should maintain it. If this becomes difficult, consult the job supervisor. Remember, supervisors are not responsible to provide make-up hours for any time missed.


• Be dependable. Job supervisors rely on students to be at their jobs as scheduled. An irresponsible pattern of attendance will result in termination of employment.


• You are paid only for actual hours worked. Therefore, it is important that work schedules be maintained. WS AWARD AMOUNTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED!


• If you fail to perform your duties in a satisfactory manner, the job supervisor may terminate your employment. You can decide to terminate your employment on one week's notice but you must notify both your supervisor and the Director of Student and Community Programs.


• Please note that if your supervisor terminates your employment or you voluntarily withdraw from employment, Career Services has no obligation to find you another job.


• Remember, this is a valuable opportunity for you – you can use this experience on your resume and learn vital non-performance skills for your future. Your job performance here can result in a good recommendation for a future position.
