SUMMER 2016 CHICAGO-KENT STUDENT AND PT TEMP HIRING

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT PROCEDURES

PAYROLL AUTHORIZATIONS

A new Payroll Authorization must be completed for all student and Part-Time (PT) Temporary “non-benefits eligible” employees who will continue to work for you after May 22nd.  

This year the "Summer Term 1" runs from May 23rd through June 30th, 2016.  Another memo will be sent with hiring instructions for the “Summer Term 2”, July 1st through August 13th, 2016.

The current student pay rate is $12.00 per hour.

STUDENT Payroll Authorizations:  Should be done on-line through the EPAF (Electronic Payroll Authorization Form) system in the MyIIT portal listing Dawn Rupcich as an approver. Use “sub”-Account “6307" FOR ALL SUMMER TERM 1 STUDENT EMPLOYEES.

When using the EPAF system for student employment, under “Employee Type” pick Student Employee and under “Position Control #” pick Student Assistant.

The payroll authorization should be filled out completely listing May 23rd or thereafter (if the official hire date is later in the Summer 1 Term) as the “Effective Date” of employment and must be submitted before work begins.

FEDERAL WORK STUDY (FWS)

At this time, Administration & Finance is waiting for confirmation from IIT Main Campus on whether or not FWS funding will be available for the Summer Term 1.  If funding is available, an update from our office will be issued. 

FWS funding for community service positions will definitely be available for SUMMER TERM 2 that begins July 1, 2016.  However, EPAF entries for Summer 2 should NOT be done until on or after June 27, 2016.  A new EPAF will launch by then; further instructions and training will be provided at the Downtown Campus. 

Federal Work Study positions are funded 100% by the federal government.  There are two very important things to note for FWS employment for the summer terms as follows:

  1.  FWS is for IIT Approved Community Service positions only and is NOT available for hiring of faculty research assistants or general departmental employment during the summer term.
  1. Unlike general student employment during the summer (where a student must be enrolled for 3-credit hours to qualify for “student status”), students who qualify for FWS community service positions through their financial aid award do NOT need to be enrolled for classes during the summer term.  To qualify for FWS during the summer, a student must be considered a “matriculating” student which is defined as a student who is registered or plans to register for the fall 2016 term and who has been offered and accepted FWS for the summer term(s).

 PT TEMPORARY NON-BENEFITS ELIGIBLE STAFF PROCEDURES

PT temporary non-benefits eligible staff can be hired on IIT’s payroll (you may recall that in the past few years, we were required to hire PT staff through an employment agency).
 
TEMPORARY STAFF HIRED ON IIT’S PAYROLL

In addition to the Temporary Justification and the Job Description forms, you must also follow the next four steps:

  • A background check is required prior to hiring PT temporary staff.  IIT OHR handles this process and before you submit the PA you will need to email Lisa Horne at lhorne1@iit.edu and send her the full name and email address of the person you wish to hire.  Depending on the new hires background this background check process can take anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks to complete.  Please be sure to take into consideration the time it will take for the background check to be complete when setting a start date.  Employees whose background checks have not cleared are not allowed to begin working.
  • Employment eligibility clearance (completion of form I-9)
    www.newi9.com
  • The I9 form must be completed before or no later than three (3) days after the employee begins employment.  Employees without completed I9s are not allowed to work.
    To certify the I9 form, go to www.i9express.com.  If you do not have login credentials for the I9 electronic certification site, please contact Administration and Finance. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT PT TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT THROUGH IIT CANNOT LAST LONGER THAN ONE (1) YEAR

All paperwork should be submitted to the Office of Administration and Finance, Suite 265.

TEMPORARY STAFF THAT ARE HIRED THROUGH AN EMPLOYMENT AGENCY

PAYROLL AUTHORIZATIONS AND ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED BEFORE ANYONE BEGINS WORK

It should be noted that for new hires, pursuant to federal law and IIT Policy, the Payroll Authorization and other tax, I-9 and Direct Deposit Authorization Forms must be submitted to the Office of Administration and Finance for processing before anyone begins working for you.  There have been a few recent cases in which the required paperwork was submitted after the student/PT Temp began working.  This puts the institution at risk with the federal government and could result in the possible termination of federal financial aid.  Therefore, please be sure to adhere to this critical policy.

Below lists the criteria for Student Worker status vs PT Temporary status for the summer term:

STUDENT EMPLOYEE STATUS (use “sub”-Account “6307")
In order for a student to qualify for “student status” under IRS regulations (i.e., exempt from FICA tax), the student must be registered for at least THREE (3) credit hours during the summer term.

PT TEMPORARY/NON STUDENT STATUS (use “sub”-Account “6325")
Use “sub”-Account “6325" for PT Temporary staff.  You should also use “6325” for student employees that are not registered for at least three (3) credit hours during the summer 2016 term since they are considered a PT Temporary employee.  FICA taxes will be taken out of PT Temporary employee paychecks and the employer FICA match will be charged to your account (the FICA rate is currently 7.65%).

FWS Community Service Employment Paperwork:
The second portion of the summer session falls under the 2016-17 financial aid award year.  A Payroll Authorization will need to be completed with a start date of July 1 through August 13, 2016.  Further instructions will be provided at a later date, before the Summer 2 Term begins.


STUDENT ONLINE TIME ENTRY

Time entry is done using IIT's online time entry for all students and staff.   For all pay periods, time worked must be entered into the electronic time sheet and submitted for approval by 10:00 am on the first Monday after the pay period ends.

If you have any problems accessing the myIIT portal, please contact IIT OTS Support Desk at 73375.

NOTE:  if your student fails to input and submit his/her timesheet by 10:00 am on the Monday when timesheets are due, they will run the risk of not getting paid on the scheduled pay date.

If you have questions concerning completion of the on-line time entry after you have read the instructions and logged in, please contact Lila Wilson, Suite 265, x 65100, or by email at lila.wilson@kentlaw.iit.edu

DEFIBRILLATOR AT THE DOWNTOWN CAMPUS!!!

The Downtown Campus has an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to make early defibrillation immediately available in cardiac emergencies.

WHAT IS SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST (SCA)?
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen anywhere, to anyone, at anytime, without warning, without symptoms, and regardless of age or health. SCA is most often caused by an electrical malfunction that makes the heart quiver ineffectively. Defibrillation, an electric shock across the heart, is the only effective treatment for this malfunction. It stops the ineffective quivering and allows a coordinated heart rhythm to resume. Surviving SCA is largely dependent on how quickly the patient is defibrillated.

TYPICAL INDICATIONS THAT SOMEONE IS EXPERIENCING SCA:

  • An abnormal or racing heart beat
  • Feeling faint or dizzy due to loss of blood flow
  • Abnormal breathing
  • Loss of blood pressure and pulse
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Unresponsive

WHEN SCA STRIKES, EVERY MINUTE COUNTS.
Every minute counts when sudden cardiac arrest strikes. The new HeartStart AED unit is located at the front lobby desk where it will be readily accessible to emergency responders. Everyone at the IIT Downtown Campus can make a lifesaving difference in a medical emergency by immediately calling 911 and the DTC Security Officer on duty (ext 6-5030 using a campus phone or 312-906-5030 using a cell phone). Be sure to specifically identify the location of the victim so a trained responder can be dispatched to the scene.

DTC STAFF TRAINING:
A group of staff at the DTC have received CPR/AED training from the American Red Cross program; those trained include all of the engineering and Public Safety Officers, three library staff members and several other staff at both Chicago-Kent and Stuart. If you believe a person is experiencing SCA, please attempt to locate a trained responder by calling security as noted above. However, it is important to note that the HeartStart AED that we purchased is specifically designed to be used by virtually anyone. It actually walks the user/responder through the process with verbal instructions and other commands during the entire process. The unit has a safety feature that analyzes the victim before allowing an electric shock to be administered. In an emergency situation and in the absence of a trained user, an AED user who acts in good faith and without compensation is protected from civil liability under Illinois' Automated External Defibrillator Act, except for willful and wanton misconduct.

Please contact Dawn E. Rupcich, Assistant Dean or Rob Ulcigrai, Chief Engineer if you have any questions.


Downtown Campus Safety Tips

Do not travel alone in public areas, or stand alone at the bus stop, or corner. Keep alert for person(s) following you. Be wary of strangers offering assistance. Don't openly wear or display jewelry or handbags. The Downtown Campus of IIT provides year-round security officer escorts after 5:00 PM weekdays and on weekends. 


Shuttle Bus Schedule

Updated bus route schedules can be obtained at: http://www.iit.edu/directory/shuttlebus.html

For questions regarding the shuttlebus schedule and service please e-mail shuttlebus@iit.edu.


Office of Administration and Finance Business Hours

Monday-Friday: 8:30am - 5:00pm
