Question:
Are student employees that are working over the summer as an ST allowed to work overtime/more than 40 hours per week?
Answer:
Students may work more than 40 hours per week, which will result in overtime pay. A waiver will be required for this situation as outlined in the Student Employment Procedures linked below (page 6). Foreign nationals may have additional work restrictions in place as their hours may be limited based upon their visa type.
Please keep in mind that if a student is working more than one position, their overtime rate will be based upon the higher wages. You would want to coordinate closely with the other department if that is the case, as they may be the ones paying the additional wages.
