Important Information:
The minimum hourly wage in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is currently $15.00.
The weekly deadline for Payroll Coordinators to complete time sheet approval and approve all hires is 10 am on Tuesday mornings.
Supervisors and Payroll Coordinators should regularly utilize the Hire Archive on the JobX Job Board, Business Warehouse Reporting on BU Works, or Fiori Applications. These functions should verify that students have been correctly hired in the appropriate program or semester and are being accurately paid for hours worked.
All I-9s completed for student employees are completed electronically. Review procedures for completing the electronic I-9 as needed.
Supervisors may not allow a student to work if the student has not completed an I-9. No student employee should commence working until the I-9 has been completed. More important information about completing and submitting Form I-9 may be found on the Policies page.
Students may not work during scheduled class time. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to confirm with students that their work schedules do not conflict with their class schedules.
Some Boston University student employees are entitled to earn paid sick time. Procedures and accrual information are available on the Policies page.
The Student Salary Adjustment Request Form (SARF) process is fully electronic, and previous SARF forms are no longer being accepted for processing. The Payroll Coordinator Guides section contains a quick start guide and an instructional PowerPoint.
