7 Mission Statement Mission of the Federal Work-Study Program To provide funds to students to assist in offsetting the cost of a college education. To make on-the-job training experience available to students. To enhance and support the development of interpersonal skills in the work place that will ultimately benefit the student employee s performance in their workstudy position and with future employment endeavors. To provide support to on-campus departments with a need for studentemployees and to non-profit community service employers. A student employee is a student first and an employee second. Because the student s primary purpose is the pursuit of an education, employment should not interfere with the student s educational goals. At the same time, student employees are employed by Tri-County Technical College and accorded the same respect and dignity as all other college employees. Employment Types On-campus On-campus employment includes all Tri-County Technical College campuses and extensions. On-campus student employees are employees of the college and supervised by college faculty or staff. Off-campus Off-campus employment includes contracted eligible agencies. Off-campus student employees are employees of the college and supervised by an agency employee. Offcampus student employment can include community service positions. A minimum of 7% of the college s work-study allocation must be spent on community service positions. 7 P a g e

Example: A student enrolled in a 60 credit hours program is eligible until 90 credit hours are attempted (60 x 1.5 = 90). Employment Policies Attendance Student employees are expected to be punctual, appropriately communicating with the supervisor during exceptions. Supervisors are responsible for stressing the importance of punctuality and reporting to work during scheduled time; as well as the importance of contacting the supervisor ahead of time when unable to work. Award Awards are based on need as determined by the need analysis process. It is the policy of TCTC to disburse these limited funds to the maximum number of eligible students on a first come, first served basis. Student employees that are allowed to work over their award, without prior permission, will be not be funded through the work-study budget. Under this circumstance, oncampus supervisors are required to fund the student employee through their 8 P a g e

Benefits Students employees are not eligible for paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, retirement or insurance though the federal work-study program. Complaints/Grievances Complainants are encouraged to seek informal resolution of their grievances or concerns. This informal procedure is intended to foster communication between the parties involved, either directly or through an intermediary, to facilitate a mutual understanding of what may be different perspectives regarding the grievance or concern. Absent extraordinary circumstances, the complainant s immediate supervisor will be responsible for the informal resolution procedure. If the immediate supervisor is the subject of the grievance, the complainant may file the informal complaint the workstudy coordinator. Dress Code Appropriate attire is left to the discretion of the supervisor and must not be disruptive to the educational process. In the interest of health and safety shoes must cover the length of the foot and shirts must cover the chest. All students are encouraged to dress in a manner that supports the College policy and campus environment. Some academic programs require specific dress of uniforms consistent with employment practices in the field of study. This information will be included in academic program guides or class syllabus. 9 P a g e
