Each <br />month you will receive a report from the UO Financial Aid Office that shows your student <br />employees' payroll history. It will include the students' work-study award amount, wages <br />paid, and the remaining allotment. Please be aware that awards can change, so monitor your <br />monthly report carefully. <br />It is your responsibility to track the individual student Federal Work-Study awards. Wages <br />earned that exceed a student's work-study award will not be paid to the student by the UO <br />Payroll Office. Your agency will be required to pay the student directly if you allow a student <br />employee to work beyond the work-study allotment. If you wish to retain the student <br />employee after his/her work-study is depleted, the student must be placed on your agency's <br />payroll, <br />Please be aware that there are two types of work-study, Federal Work-Study and UO Work- <br />Study. Your contract with the University of Oregon covers only Federal Work-Study not UO <br />Work-Study. UO Work-Study cannot be used by off-campus employers. <br />During the academic year, students must remain enrolled at least half-time (6 credits for an <br />undergraduate and 5 credits for a graduate) to maintain Federal Work-Study eligibility. Please <br />stay in contact with your work-study employees regarding their enrollment level. Student work <br />hours are limited to 20 hours per week while classes are in session. However a student may <br />work up to 40 hours per week during breaks. The work-study award will not pay overtime, <br />therefore, if a student works more than 40 hours per week, your agency will be required to pay <br />100% of the overtime wages directly to the student. <br />The Payroll Office has posted a Work-Study Calendar in the Quick Reference Section of the <br />Off-Campus Employer Website at http://baowww.uoregon.edu/OffCampus/ws.htm. This <br />calendar will provide you with dates of eligibility for work-study awards. <br />If you have any questions regarding the Federal Work-Study program, please feel free to contact <br />either of us: Kyna at 346-1173, kmbacon@uoregon.edu or Susan at 346-1182,, <br />scarver@uoregon.edu.
