Student Employee Rights and Responsibilities

Student Rights

Student employees are governed by the State Universities Civil Service System Statues and Rules on all issues except on the matter of summer employment where they must be registered for a minimum of 3 hours to work as a student worker. Students may work up to 37.5 hours per week during the summer; they may combine more than one job to do this since many departments do not need workers for that many hours in the summer.

This information is accessible from the University of Illinois Human Resources website:

The section that specifically deals with Student Employees is Section 250.70 Nonstatus Appointments.

To summarize some information :

Breaks

A student who works at least 4 hours, is entitled to a fifteen   minute paid break.
A student who works at least 7.5 hours, must take an unpaid one half hour meal break.

Dismissal

The procedure is similar to that used for civil service. Except for serious offenses such as theft, an employee should be given oral and written warnings and chances to correct their behavior before they are dismissed. The employer should have written documentation of the offenses and the dates when the oral and written warnings were given as well as anything the employer has done to help the worker. The student who is fired may file a grievance if they feel they have been unfairly treated.

Student Responsibilities
  1. Report to work at the scheduled time.
  2. Complete duties and not conduct personal business while at work.
  3. Work with a cooperative and positive attitude
  4. Notify the supervisor as soon as possible of any changes in work schedule and of projects or exams which may interfere with work schedule (this included quitting a job).

  6. Submit completed timesheet to supervisor on time.
  7. Adhere to any confidentiality/security agreements set forth by employer
