Employee Guidelines
International
students are not permitted to work more than a total
of 20 hours from all jobs during ANY week (Sunday
through Saturday) while school is in session. There are
no exceptions to this rule.
International
students must be enrolled full time (12 hours for undergraduates
/
9 hours for graduates) except for summer. With proper
documentation from an academic advisor, an exception may
be made for students in their last semester of study. Exceptions
are for one semester only. International students must also
abide by all other Student Employment policies.
Tips to finding on-campus employment:
-
Log
on to MyUNIverse and search the Online Job Board.
International students should search “On-Campus,
Non-Work Study”
-
Obtain detailed information (i.e. qualifications, description,
wage, contact person, etc.) about each position by clicking
into the job link.
-
Get in touch with the contact person of any employment
opportunities that you may be interested in.
Procedures once employment is found:
-
International
students MUST make an appointment with Janice Rogers,
UNI Payroll Office (Gilchrist Hall, 273-6212), to complete
IRS forms for correct taxation status.
- Forms to bring to your meeting with Jan will include
VISA, Passport, I-94, I-20, etc.
-
Graduate Assistants: Also bring your assistantship
acceptance letter.
-
Once
all necessary forms are completed with Jan Rogers, the
international student will then return to the department
with their completed forms, and have their supervisor
complete an approval form, as well as all other tax documents
(I9, W4, CEERF) that are needed to gain employment.
- The
student should keep all documents that Jan gives them.
This is necessary particularly if the student has
a tax treaty. There is information in the documents
that the student completes when they have a tax treaty
that they need when they complete their income tax
return.
-
Supervisors will then send the approval form with copies
of the student’s tax information to the Student
Employment office, located at 116 Gilchrist Hall.
Departments to notify once you receive your Social Security
Card:
- All international persons-MUST notify Jan Rogers, the
Dept. of Residence, and the Registrar’s Office.
- Graduates students-MUST notify Human Resources in addition
to the above areas.
