Student Employment FAQs

Q: I received a job offer. Can I start working immediately? 

A: Students who have never worked on campus previously must complete new hire paperwork.  A link to this electronic submission will be sent to the student by email once the supervisor enters a hiring form for the student. The student must also visit the Hawk Hub with acceptable forms of identification. Hawk Hub staff will complete and submit I-9 page 2 for students. Upon receipt of both submissions, the student will receive an approval email from Human Resources. Students are not permitted to work until they have received approval notification. 

Q: How do I enter and track the hours that I work? 

A: Hours worked can be viewed on the Self-Service menu under Time History. There is a document on MyNest that explains how the Self-Service Time Entry process works. 

Q: Will my supervisor have to approve my timesheet? 

A: Yes. At the end of each week within the pay period, you will need to enter your time and submit for your supervisor’s approval. Pressing submit will send an e-mail to your supervisor letting them know you have completed your time entry and they can approve it. You must submit your time by the 12:00 noon deadline each pay period.  

Q: When will I get my first paycheck? 

A: Student payroll is processed two weeks in arrears. What this means is on the scheduled pay date, you will actually be receiving pay for work that was done two weeks prior. Review the Current Student Pay Schedule on the Student Employment tile on myNest for specific dates. 

Q: I have been working, but I haven’t gotten paid yet. What happened? 

A:  What payroll period are you referencing? Check the Student Pay Schedule, on the Student Employment tile on myNest to make sure the pay period and paycheck date have passed. Further questions can be directed to payroll@susqu.edu. 

Q: I have already completed a job on campus last semester; do I have to fill out paperwork again? 

A: No. Once you complete the new-hire paperwork, you do not need to do it again. When updating information such as a changed bank account, tax forms, or address changes contact Human Resources at humanresources@susqu.edu or ext. 4024 for further instructions.  

Q: I closed the bank account that my paycheck was sent to. What should I do? 

A: NEVER close an account before updating your bank information with Human Resources. If the payroll was already run before you notified the Payroll Specialist, the bank will refuse the deposit and the payment will be processed on the following pay date. Your wages will be held until your updated banking information has been received. You should always complete a new Direct Deposit Form if your bank account changes. Changes to your direct deposit can be completed in person at the Hawk Hub or the Human Resources Office in Selinsgrove Hall
