Student Employment FAQ

Q: I don’t know for sure if I have work study, how do I find out? 
A: If you completed your FASFA form by March 1st, the Financial Aid Office will send you a letter notifying you that you will be eligible for work study if you are hired for a position.

Q: How do I find a job on campus?
A: Search the employment postings listed on the Student Employment pages and complete the online application.  If interested, the hiring department will contact you to schedule an interview.

Q: A department has hired me, what should I do next?
A: Stop by the Student Services Office to sign a revised award letter and complete tax forms. The financial aid office will notify you that you need to sign a revised award letter to accept your work study award. Before you begin working you must complete tax forms (W-4 withholding Allowance Certificate) and proof of work eligibility (I-9). If the college has these forms on file for you from a prior year you do not need to re-file the forms. 

Q: How do I record my time worked?
A: Olivet College uses the ADP product, ezLaborManager,  to record hours worked.  Please select the ADP System link to the left for instructions on the use of the ADP system.

Q: What day will I be paid for my campus position?
A: Student employees are paid once a month on the 10th of the month, if the 10th is a business day.  Please see payroll calendar for specific pay dates.
