I don't have Federal Work Study — can I still work on campus?
Yes. There are employment opportunities for positions with no financial aid eligibility, as well as recipients of Federal Work Study Awards.
What paperwork do I need to complete when I am hired?
Student employees must complete tax forms (W-4 Withholding Allowance Certificates) Direct Deposit form and proof of work eligibility (I-9) before beginning work as an Albion College Student Employee. Please go to the forms page for more information.
How do I keep track of the hours I have worked?
All hourly campus positions use a timeclock that will be found in my.albion.edu. The time clock sheet will be found under the “Employee Services” tile. When you attend student employment orientation, you will receive a brief training on how to enter and submit the hours you have worked into your timeclock. It is your responsibility to verify and submit your time entry by the specified date each pay period so that your supervisor can approve your timesheet and send the information to payroll in a timely fashion.
When will I receive my paycheck?
In an effort to have a paperless payroll, students are expected to set up direct deposit with a financial institution of their choice. In the event that a student does not yet have a banking relationship we can provide a list of local banks and credit unions. If a student has not yet set up direct deposit a paycard will be issued. Paystubs are viewable via my.albion.edu and the pay dates listed on the Payroll Dates page.
Am I eligible for employer health insurance in my student role?
No, you are not eligible for employer-sponsored coverage. You may be eligible for coverage under your parent’s health care plan or you can purhcase insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information about the Marketplace, please read the New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage.
