A federal grant underwrites part of the salary expense. Student employees in <br />your organization are placed on the University of Oregon's payroll and paid monthly. Your agency will be billed for your <br />portion of the salary expense (approximately 50%) and for related benefits (approximately 9% of gross pay). <br />Student employees are students first and foremost and, in recognition of this, are limited to a total of half-time <br />employment, 20 hours per week. This limit includes all student employment positions held simultaneously. During term <br />breaks students may be employed full-time as long as they have Federal Work-Study awards for the term before and after <br />the break. <br />Do you qualify to be a Federal Work-Study Off-Campus Employer ? <br />The university will consider requests to enter into contractual agreements with federal, state or local public agencies, and <br />private non-profit organizations based upon the following rules and upon available funds. <br />1.
