Tracking Student Hours

Faculty are responsible for keeping track of their students’ declining hours. To see how many hours a student has reported and has been paid for as of the most recent payroll date, you may run a Student Costing Report at any time in Workday. Instructions on how to do so are are the third page of the Rains Workday Hiring Instructions here. Additional information can be found on the Student Employment Services website.

Students may not work more than 20 hours per week during school sessions, 40 hours per week during school vacations, 8 hours per day, and 6 consecutive days in a work week (Sunday through Saturday).
