Where do I get my paycheck? Job Information Research studies have shown that students who work part-time during college actually do better academically and are more likely to stay in school than students who do not work at all. Stout students working on student employment average 10-20 hours per week at jobs that complement their class times and study needs. Students who work oncampus most often begin working their freshman year. Student jobs can be found on the Financial Aid website, http://www.uwstout.edu/jobs/studentjobs, or in the showcases outside the Financial Aid Office, 210 Bowman Hall. A Job Location and Development service also posts off-campus vacancies on the website and in the showcase. All student employees will have quick and easy online access to their earnings statements and W2s at the My UW System portal. The portal is available on the UW-Stout homepage or via https://my.wisconsin.edu from any computer that has an Internet connection. Electronic check deposit is required, so your earnings are automatically deposited into either your StoutOne account or your checking or savings account at any financial institution. To enroll for direct deposit into your StoutOne account, simply log onto www.uwstoutone.com. For direct deposit into a Bank Checking or Savings account, complete a Direct Deposit Request form from your supervisor; or access the form directly via the “Student link” on the Human Resources website. You may also complete the form in person at the Human Resources Office located on second floor of the Administration Building, Room 203. There is no cost for this service. Questions about payroll should be directed to Human Resources at 232-2140. How long will it take until I see some money? Your first paycheck will be automatically deposited approximately three weeks after your supervisor submits your work hours for processing. Refer to the payroll schedule printed on the back of this brochure. To maximize your available Work-Study funds, students are encouraged to secure a job right away. How much will I make per hour? Wages vary depending on the position and they range from the current minimum of $7.25 to $9.05. Higher wages are paid in higher level jobs, according to the UWStout wage structure for student employment. What about taxes? You must complete the tax information forms that will be provided to you when you are hired. Contact the Human Resources Office with any questions you have about tax forms. What type of job am I eligible for? The Federal Work-Study program is available to eligible students as part of their financial aid award. If you receive Work-Study, you may search for jobs offered that are designated as Work-Study. If you are interested in working on campus but did not apply for financial aid or did not receive Work-Study in your financial aid award, you may search for jobs that are designated as State Payroll. What are my employment responsibilities? Understand what your employer expects of you; ask your supervisor about work requirements. Establish a work schedule with your supervisor that you can meet. Do not work more than 40 hours per week, and do not exceed your Work-Study earning limit. Check with your supervisor for this information. Give your best effort on the job. Campus employment is meant to help train you in your career. Your supervisor can be an excellent reference for your resume – if you do your best! What are my employment rights? As a campus employee, you have the following rights: 1) The University of Wisconsin - Stout is an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution committed to diversity in its people and programs. 2) UW-Stout employees are reminded that university rules, policies and practices prohibit the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of controlled substances on all university property and worksites.
