Lawrence University's Student Employment Program promotes the part-time employment of students
during periods of enrollment. The program is designed primarily for those students who have demonstrated financial need and require the earnings to pursue a course of study,
but is available to all students whether or not they are receiving financial aid
Preference and priority for employment is given to students receiving financial aid whose aid award includes federal work study or campus employment. Students are encouraged to seek employment as early in the academic year as possible. More information about student employment can be found in the Student Employment Handbook.

What forms must I complete before I begin working on campus?
As required by law, a student must complete an I-9 form prior to working on campus. Along with the I-9 form, a student must provide appropriate identification to verify eligibility to work as well as to establish identity. The I-9 form need only be completed ONCE while working at LU.
Also required by law, students must complete a W-4 form indicating their withholdings. Both the I-9 and W-4 must be on file for a student to work on campus.
How many hours a week can I work?
Although a student can work numerous jobs on campus simultaneously, he or she cannot work more than 20 hours a week during any periods of enrollment. If a student does exceed 20 hours, they will receive a warning. The second infraction will result in the student losing his or her privileges to work on campus for the remainder of the academic year.
During periods of non-enrollment (i.e., winter or spring break) students can work up to 40 hours per week.
When do I get paid?
Student employees are paid bi-weekly. Time sheets MUST be submitted through Web Time Entry (WTE) to the Payroll Office at the end of each pay period. To learn how WTE works, please visit http://www.lawrence.edu/dept/hr/wte/. If the time sheet is not received on time or is completed incorrectly, the student's check will be delayed.
Can I use Direct Deposit?
YES! Students are encouraged to have their payroll check direct deposited into a savings or checking account of their choosing. This avoids the problem of lost or misplaced checks and allows money to be deposited into the student's account should they be off campus on a pay date. Direct Deposit Forms should be submitted to the Payroll Office on the 2nd floor of Brokaw Hall.
Lost payroll checks should be reported to the Payroll Office A stop payment will be issued and a new check prepared after a 10-day waiting period. There is a a $10 service fee charged to the student to cover related costs.
How do I find out about jobs on campus?
Students can search for jobs through Voyager by accessing the Search Student Employment Opportunities tab.
There are also a number of community service positions available. Students MUST have Federal Work Study in their financial aid package to work in one of the community service positions. Available positions can be accessed through Voyager.
