Student Employment

Getting Paid

When a student secures a position, several steps must be taken to formalize the hiring and payroll process:

• Complete a Work Authorization Form (available from Student Financial Services). The form must be completed by the student and signed by the employer. A Work Authorization Form must be completed for each job a student may have on campus every academic year.
• Complete an I-9 form (available in Student Financial Services) with two forms of identification (i.e. social security card, school ID, or any acceptable identification listed on the back of the I-9 form). A student only needs to complete the I-9 form and provide identification once while working at Muskingum.
• Complete a time card (available from the Business Office or from the student's employer) with hours worked during the month, and turn it into the Business Office by the 1st of each month.
• Provided that the student has completed all of the above, the student can pick up their paycheck on the 10th of every month in the Business Office. The first payday is October 10th. Wages are paid directly to the student and are not subtracted from the student's account. The Business Office will cash a pay check for up to $25. Students may cash checks greater than $25 by showing their student ID at Century National Bank in New Concord.
  

Summer employment at Muskingum College is considered non work-study. A summer employment list is available in Student Financial Services and online in mid April. In order to be eligible for summer employment the student must submit the items listed above along with a W-4 form. Paychecks are distributed during the summer on a bi-weekly basis.
