Temporary Employment

Statement of Student Employment Intent
It is the intent of the University of Michigan-Flint to provide each student with the fullest and richest educational experience possible. Frequently, that experience may include an employment opportunity in conjunction with the university's work-study program or through direct temporary employment by an institutional unit. Many of these employment opportunities provide the student with valuable work experience and financial assistance while helping the institutional units meet their operational needs. At the same time, working an excessive number of hours on a regular basis may have a detrimental effect on the student's academic achievement. Supervisors must keep in mind that the best interest of the student is the top priority in these employment arrangements and should exercise their judgment accordingly.

Deadlines for Processing of Paperwork and Submitting Timesheets:

Our office strives to enter paperwork and timesheets as quickly as we can. However, due to audits and checking of data entry, we must have deadlines in order to guarantee entry for the next appropriate payroll run. Click here to see the year's deadlines.
