Work study students are those who have been awarded financial aid through the UW Office of Student Financial Aid. Wages earned by work study students are paid 20% – 50% by the employer and the rest by work study funds. Any wages exceeding the total award amount is paid 100% by the employer.

How to Hire

  1. Submit a Job Description online. When completing the job description clearly state the requirements and duties of the job. Once the Work Study Office reviews and approves your job description, you will receive an email confirming the acceptance of your job and the job number.
  2. Forward approval email with job number to payroll@ece.uw.edu. Please state whether or not you already have an eligible student to hire.
  3. Before applicants can be interviewed and hired, they must provide a Job Referral Form from the Work Study Office to ensure that they are eligible for work study. NOTE: A Job Referral Form is required for each academic year and summer period that is worked even if the same student is continuing in the same job.
  4. Complete the employer section of the Job Referral Form and submit to the Payroll Manager.
  5. Send contact information of new employee to the Payroll Manager. A time to meet to complete new hire paperwork must be arranged with the Payroll Manager BEFORE the employment start date.
