STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEPARTMENTS EMPLOYING FEDERAL WORK-STUDY (FWS) STUDENTS

STEP 1:  Understand the FWS Program
Employing departments must understand and agree to follow FWS Policies before committing to participation in the FWS program.

STEP 2:  Advertise a Position
Employers may advertise a work-study position using their own resources or by utilizing the online work-study job database.

STEP 3:  Interviewing and Hiring
Students must apply directly to the employing department. The FWS Coordinator will not handle any aspect of the hiring process.

STEP 4:  Obtain a JRN
The Job Referral Notice (JRN) is the only official confirmation of a student's eligibility to work in the FWS program. The FWS program will not fund wages that are paid without a valid JRN.

STEP 5:  Complete the ePAF
Follow the instructions for completing the ePAF. If these instructions are not followed, 100% of the student's wages will be charged to the employing department. The ePAF must contain the chartfield information as authorized on the JRN.

STEP 6:  Monitor and Review Wages
The Payroll Earnings, Benefits, & Taxes Report should be reviewed each pay period to verify that wages have been correctly charged to the work-study accounts. Any errors, or requested adjustments, must be brought to the FWS Coordinator's attention within the pay period following the error.

STEP 7:  Continue to Follow FWS Policies
Any failure to do so may result in the loss of work-study funding for the student and/or department.

STEP 8:  Contact the FWS Coordinator with any Questions
