Graduate or undergraduate students who are enrolled in six or more credit hours per fall/spring semester, are eligible for departmental jobs. Enrollment during the summer semester is not required to work in the Departmental Job Program during the summer as long as the student was enrolled in at least six credit hours during the preceding spring semester or is pre-enrolled in at least six credit hours for the following fall semester. Please note that students who are working during the summer but not enrolled in classes are subject to FICA withholdings.

All departmental jobs are listed on JobX, which you may access through TigerTracks. You can sign up to receive Job Mail so you will be notified when jobs in your areas of interest become available. Some of the employers will have online applications you may complete and submit electronically. Others will request that you contact them directly by telephone or in person to complete a paper application and/or to schedule an interview. Make sure you keep track of the applications you have submitted for follow-up purposes.

Once you have been hired, you must complete employment paperwork in the Student Employment Office (SEO), 207A Picken Hall. For payroll purposes, the substance abuse policy statement, loyalty oath, W-4 form, K-4 form, I-9 form, and payroll direct deposit form must be completed as soon as possible. Federal law requires this paperwork must be completed before you begin employment in order to be paid. You will need to bring the following personal documents to determine employment eligibility:
- social security card or state-issued birth certificate;
and
- photo ID such as driver's license or Tiger card;
or
- U.S. passport, when applicable.
To establish payroll direct deposit, you will need to provide a voided check from your checkbook or your bank account card (not debit or Tiger Card).
After you have completed all the necessary paperwork in the SEO, you will be set up on the student payroll system. Effective June 15, 2008, the student employment wage is $7.25 per hour. Paydays are every other Friday. FHSU uses EFT (electronic fund transfer) as the payroll distribution process. You may select to have your earnings deposited to your Tiger Card or to the bank account of your choice. You may complete a direct deposit form (voided check required) at the SEO to establish your direct deposit. Your pay advice will be mailed to your local address, so you will want to be sure to keep this address current in TigerTracks.
