Employer's Handbook
Wage Rate SettingHOW SHOULD I DETERMINE A STUDENT'S WAGE?
On-campus work-study jobs are ranked by pay grade (73-76) based on the level of responsibility and skills needed. Each grade is associated with a wage range, which can be found on the chart below. Additionally, each pay grade corresponds to a range from 1 to 5 of "Aide" levels in the job titles (see Job Titles section of Handbook for a list of all current titles). For example, pay grade 73 corresponds to Aide levels 1-2 (as in Clerical Aide 2); Grade 74 corresponds to Aide levels 2-3, etc. Students working on-campus are hired within this wage range based upon any prior experience. Please keep in mind the hourly wage should be calculated based on job responsibilities and level of experience instead of the pay grade.

Off-campus employers should determine a wage based upon the job responsibilities, the student's experience, and any transportation costs that the student may incur when traveling to and from the workplace.
