On Base Temporary Employee Request Form Completion Guidance

  • Pay special attention to the Temp Employee Type box. Your selection pre-populates the account code in the Funding Detail section.
    • Selecting “Student Temp (not Work-Study)” indicates the student’s wages will be paid 100% from your department budget using account code 60120, Regular Temp Wages. This should be selected if you know the student is not eligible for Federal Work Study (FWS) or does not want to be paid FWS wages, and you are agreeable.
    • Likewise, select “Student Work-Study Temp” if you wish to pay the student with FWS wages, on account code 60122. Confirm with the student regarding their FWS eligibility status and/or if they want to be paid FWS wages prior to selecting this option. Note, although the Funding Detail section indicates 100% funding, your department only contributes 25% of the student's wages each pay period. 
      • If you elected “Student Work-Study Temp” but the individual is not FWS eligible, the Work-Study Program will contact the supervisor to address the issue.
      • Historically, HR DeptIDs ending in -98 were used to identify FWS students and that is still preferred.
  • Regardless of funding type, any of the 100+ student job titles may be selected.
  • Any necessary edits or record management should be performed by your area’s business administrator or Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Human Resources after the employment record has been established.
