Hello Supervisors!
The following process will take place for student employment hire for the 2022-2023 academic year.
*Student employment has an email address: studentemployment@lemoyne.edu. This allows for central and quick access between the various departments that work on student employment. Please use this email for any communication regarding student employment.
Fall payroll begins on August 29th Students working in the summer and will continue in fall, will need to complete new paperwork (all summer positions are closed before fall payroll begins). If students are hired in fall and will continue into spring, new paperwork is not needed.
*Please remember when hiring that priority is given to students who have Federal Work Study funding. Non Federal Work Study students may fill positions when a Federal Work Study student cannot meet all the requirements of the position description. Students are able to confirm their eligibility on their Phinfo account. Supervisors may also contact the Financial Aid Office to confirm a student’s eligibility.
REHIRES & CONFIRMED NEW HIRES
STUDENT WORK AUTHORIZATION FORM (SWAF)
*Supervisors will email studentemployment@lemoyne.edu indicating they need the Student Work Authorization Form to hire students. Please put the student’s full name in the email (ID if possible) and what semesters they will be working.
*Supervisors will receive individual emails from studentemployment@lemoyne.edu for each student hired. Instructions are provided in the email on what information needs to be completed by supervisor and student (the email is forwarded between supervisor, student hired, and the student employment email). A confirmation email will go to the supervisor once the student is set up in the position.
*IMPT-Please do not use previous SWAF emails for a new hire or create your own. A supervisor needs to request a NEW form for each student. Please do not alter the subject line and body of the SWAF as we need this information for processing.
*Note: For rehires, this is the only form needed to get set up for work. Since it is completed through email, there is no need for students to visit the Payroll Office to turn in a hard copy.
*We will require the supervisor and student to indicate on the Student Work Authorization form whether the student will be working on campus or remotely. If you are hiring students to work remotely, the student will need to note their physical location on the form. There may be tax/wage implications for students working outside of Onondaga County.

NEW HIRE INFORMATION

The forms are available on the Student Employment page in ECHO: https://echo.lemoyne.edu/Student-Resources/Student-Employment-Information. Please instruct your students to use this link to get the necessary payroll forms and to set up their appointment with the Payroll Office. Students are not allowed to work until they have completed their appointment and Payroll has cleared them.
REQUEST FOR NEW HIRES (open positions)
*Open positions are posted through Handshake, which is administered by Career Advising & Development.
**Please be aware that incoming first year students will receive notification of open positions on Handshake in the beginning of July. Current students will be able to view positions at any time.
Please read these instructions on how to post your department's open jobs into Handshake:
