When do I get paid?
Checks are issued by The Nebraska Medical Center every other Friday. You can elect to have your paychecks electronically deposited to your bank account. Everyone is encouraged to sign up for Direct Deposit to ensure your paycheck is received every other Friday. See the Human Resources department for the appropriate form. Direct deposit pay slips can be picked up in the Human Resource department on payday. If you do not pick up the slip before the afternoon, it will be mailed out to your home.
**Please let Human Resources know immediately if there is a change in your address, phone number, or bank information.

How many hours can I work?
Students are limited on the amount of hours they may work. Students who have been awarded Federal Work Study (FWS) funds are limited to the amount awarded in FWS on their most recent award letter. This amount may or may not be fully utilized depending on the amount of hours the student works throughout the academic year. Students who have not been awarded FWS are limited to $1,000 per semester. Most students will be able to work approximately 7-10 hours per week during the academic year. Some supervisors may require more hours in one week as opposed to other weeks depending on the size of a particular project they may need you to work on. A student must never exceed 20 hours in any given pay period, no matter what the situation may be.

Can I study while working?
Generally, the answer is no. Your supervisor may make an occasional exception to this if all your work has been completed, and you remain available to handle the basic tasks of your job (assist students, answer phone calls, etc). Not all jobs are structured so that studying is possible.

What should I do if I am injured on the job?
All on-the-job accidents must be reported to your supervisor immediately, whether or not you seek medical attention. Regardless of how minor you may think the injury is, an accident report form must be completed. If your supervisor does not have the proper form, or is unaware of the proper procedure, please contact the Human Resources office immediately at 402.552.3609.

Do I have to do new hiring paperwork every semester?
No. New paperwork is only required at the beginning of each academic year. You may work in your position for as long as you are enrolled in 6 or more credit hours and your work is satisfactory; or until the project is completed; or until funding is no longer available.
