Excel as an Administrator

Attention to the details and deadlines associated with campus recruiting and payroll is an important aspect of overseeing student staff members. The following tools can help you meet the administrative expectations of your supervisory role.

Calendars and Tools

• Student Employment Activities
  Familiarize yourself with timelines for student employment activities.
• Payroll
  Mark your calendar! Students are paid twice per month. Note the dates highlighted in purple—these are the deadlines to verify and approve your student staff members' timecards.
• Student Job and Earnings
  View vital information about student staff members. Once a student completes the PeopleSoft HR hiring process, information about their on-campus position becomes available on the Student Job and Earnings page. The current version of the page is viewable by Hiring Managers (Primary Supervisors) and the student staff member's Timesheet Approver.
• To access Student Job & Earnings, log into myPugetSound.  Select HR - Manager Self Service > Student Job & Earnings.
• Use this tool to monitor earnings and ensure students do not exceed their maximum Earnings Limit. When the Earnings Limit is reached, authorization to continue working in the position ends, even if the job duration has not expired.

Tutorial and Forms

• Non-disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement
  Supervisors of student positions that involve access to confidential information need to have those student staff members read and sign a "Non-disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement" to ensure that they have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities. The forms signed by student staff members should be retained in your departmental files.

• Unlawful Harassment Prevention
  All student staff have access to this training course from their myPugetSound HR-Self Service menu. We recommend you incorporate this training into your departmental procedures as a requirement for any new student staff members within one month of employment. Certificates of completion should be retained for the duration of a student’s employment in your department files.

• Campus Job Description Form
  Questionnaire to gather accurate, current job descriptions.
