Helpful Information:

• Student Worker hiring takes 4 to 6 weeks.
• Student employees cannot work more than an average of 25 hours a week over a rolling twelve month period per Affordable Care Act regulations.
• Student employees may only work for 2 weeks following their graduation date.
• Student employees must be registered for classes in order to apply for a student job and to keep their student job.
• Student employment does not have job descriptions only wage levels. Levels are determined by the work that will be performed and hourly rate requested.
  

Student Levels I-IV and Pay Rates:

• Student Employment offers a wide range of positions, which require different degrees of skill or experience. The student wage scale in Arizona starts at $14.35/hour and pay rates should not exceed $50.50/hour. Four wage levels with different pay ranges have been provided below. Federal Work-Study and Hourly employment share the same wage levels and pay ranges. Wage placement must be in relation to the type of duties performed and in consideration of other student worker wage rates in similar jobs.
• Note: Due to Kenexa implementation, we can no longer use Open Range Wage Levels, we must use Standard Wage Scales. Student pay rate amounts must stay within the student wage levels.
