1. Once you are hired, confirm your schedule with your supervisor, including any particular scheduling needs associated with classes, visits home and breaks.
2. Go to Human Resources Student Employment Services (HRSES) to complete an I-9.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services requires that each individual employed in the United States complete an I-9 Employment Verification form at each place of employment. This includes student employees.

Students will complete their I-9 in person in the HRSES office, 210 Steele Hall, except for International students, who must complete their paperwork at the Slutzker Center for International Services. Students completing the I-9 at HRSES will need to present original documentation that must include a picture I.D. and another government document such as a Social Security Card or a U.S. Birth Certificate. A U.S. Passport or an Alien Registration Card may also be used. Consult the complete list for specifics on what is acceptable.

Students can complete their I-9 prior to securing a job. The form must be completed before students begin work.

WORK IT! Top Five To-Do's for Your First Few Days on the Job

1. Meet with your immediate supervisor to discuss your job responsibilities, any training for the job, your schedule and a contact name and phone number you should call if you cannot work your scheduled shift. Ensure that someone will be supervising you at all times.
2. Ask for a tour of your work place.
3. Ask your supervisor if you have been placed on the payroll system and find out where you should pick up your paycheck.
4. Consider enrolling in direct deposit. Your pay will be deposited directly into your bank account. If you are working on-campus, enroll by logging into your MySlice account and follow the link in the Employee Services section. If you are working off-campus, ask your supervisor how to enroll in their direct deposit plan. If you have a problem with your pay or you do not receive your pay, contact your supervisor immediately.
5. If you are using Federal Work Study, keep track of how much you earn to ensure you do not go over your award amount.

Your workplace should be respectful and free from harassment. If you feel that you or someone you know is being harassed, please contact HRSES at 443-2268 for assistance.
