Paying a Student Employee

Time Cards

Montana Tech uses pre-printed timecards.  Supervisors will receive pre-printed timecards from Enrollment Services through campus mail once complete paperwork for each student employee is received.

It is up to the student and supervisor to ensure timecards are returned to Enrollment Services by the deadline.

All time cards:

  • Are due in the Financial Aid Office by the first working day following the end of each pay period for which time is being reported. Classified employees will be paid bi-weekly (if this falls on a holiday, cards are due by noon on the next business day);
  • Need to be completed in ink, signed by the student employee and supervisor;
  • Are only accepted if delivered by the supervisor, administrative associate, or other campus official. Timecards will be accepted from a student only if they are sealed in an envelope signed by the supervisor.

Paychecks

The student pay period is bi-weekly. Students are paid on the Wednesday that falls two weeks after the end of a pay period. Students that do not have direct deposit, paychecks will be mailed to the address provided on their current Student Employment Certification Form/GRA Contract/GTA Contract.

  • Students leaving for break that want their last check mailed to them should provide a self-addressed and stamped envelope to the Payroll Office, MG 205.

Students that would like paychecks electronically deposited should submit the Electronic Payroll Deposit form to the Budget and Human Services Office, MG 205.

  • The first check after signing up for electronic deposit will be mailed to the address provided on their current Student Employment Certification Form/GRA Contract/GTA Contract; subsequent checks will be electronically deposited.

Confidentiality Issues

In many of the positions available, students may have access to confidential material. Students are expected to respect the confidential nature of information they may read or overhear concerning students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, or vendors including income information, tax information, grade and job evaluations, documents relating to performance, salary and fringe benefits, insurance information, account information and other administrative or personal information.

All student employees must complete a FERPA training course upon beginning employment. Supervisors should identify confidentiality issues with all student employees.
