Attn: Student Employment Hiring Managers

This fall will begin the implementation of changes to the student employment program here at Augsburg. These changes were recommended as a result of the work completed by the Common Work Advisory Group. The recommendations were then approved by the Cabinet in February.

1. Priority hiring will be extended to November 1st. The priority hiring period is intended to give preference to students that qualify for federal or state work study. After November 1st hiring is open to all students regardless of their work study eligibility. This priority period does not apply to students returning to a previous position.

2. Student employment positions classified as technical will now be paid at a rate of $9.00/hour. This rate will apply to students that are new to a technical position. Students returning to a technical position in the fall will receive the same rate they were earning last year.

3. Student pay for non-technical positions will be a three tier scale.
a. New students will earn a rate equal to minimum wage currently $7.25/hour.
b. Students with one year of student employment completed will receive $7.75/hour.
c. Students with two years or more of student employment completed will receive $8.15/hour.

In the coming weeks additional information will be sent out to guide faculty and staff as they begin hiring students for the fall. Should you have any questions, please contact Liz Bassani in Human Resources at bassanil@augsburg.edu.
