Student Employees

The University of Arizona Libraries accepts and encourages student employee support.  While HROE does not coordinate the Libraries’ recruitment and hiring of student employees, we have added links here for your convenience in addressing their recruitment, hiring and management.

Student Employees, whether work-study, international, undergraduate or graduate students, are part-time, temporary employees who are currently enrolled at The University of Arizona with the primary goal of achieving a degree.   Note that student employees are nonexempt staff who work hourly and would be subject to overtime or compensatory time for hours worked over 40 in a week. 

Recruitment of Student Employees:

  1. Use the Partners-ABaC$ -- Library Student Employee Hiring Guide 2007 to understand the classifications and guidelines for hiring and management of student employees in the Libraries.

  2. Develop a position description using this Student Assistant PD Template.

  3. Advertise all job opportunities for UA students and alumni on Wildcat JobLink.  The site is easy to use, has campus-wide reach and is 24/7.

  4. If convenient, arrange to attend a Wildcat student employment fair to kick-start your recruitment:  http://www.career.arizona.edu/faculty/?wsef.

  5. Student Employee Application Form (the 3-page application form in pdf).

  6. Link to Library Student Employment Page.

Hiring Process for Student Employees:

  1. Students many not perform work activities, including training, until hiring documentation (see above Library Student Employee Hiring Guide Packet, p. 8-13) is completed.  Student employees must provide required documentation to team accountant prior to hiring.   Your team accountant will notify supervisors when the employee can start working. 

  2. Notify your team accountant as soon as possible at the end of a student’s employment. 

Management of Student Employees: (all within the Hiring Guide Packet, above)
