Important Payroll Dates

Summer 2013: May 12, 2013 through August 17, 2013

There are seven summer pay periods in 2013. Summer School appointments may begin effective 5/26/2013 or later.

The exact beginning and ending dates of each semester and how these dates relate to student employment are routinely published by Human Resources and are available at Payroll and Employment Dates.

Employment Eligibility

For employment during the summer a graduate student must meet one of the following requirements:

1. Be enrolled in three semester credit hours during the summer
2. Been enrolled in at least six credit hours the previous spring semester

If the student doesn't meet either of these criteria, they cannot begin employment until the start of the Fall 2013 semester - 8/18/2013 or after.

Graduate Student Appointment

• For graduate student employees being appointed for the first time or after a break in service of one day or more you will need to submit a Graduate Student Appointment Form (PER-41) (pdf). Indicate if the employee has any prior KSU service or service with another State of Kansas agency.
• For rehires with no break in service you need to submit a Change or Separation Form (PER-39) (pdf) or change the Appointment End Date. See instructions at http://www.k-state.edu/hr/hris/Appointment_End_Date.pdf (pdf). Select the instructions for "Appointment End Date".
• In addition to the PER-41, supporting documents are also required for hires and rehires. Examples of required forms are the K-4 Form, Form I-9, Substance Abuse Policy, etc. For a complete list of documents required for a new hire or rehire please refer to the transaction check list for graduate student employees.
• Completion of the Spoken English Assessment section of the PER-41 form is required for all new graduate teaching assistants.
• An On-Campus Work Permit is required for non-resident alien employees. Personnel Specialists should electronically request the work permit through International Student and Scholar Services. Further information on work permits can be found at http://www.k-state.edu/hr/ped/workpermit.htm
• The Employee Oath must be completed and notarized for all new hires. For rehires, the Employee Oath is not required.
• For a rehire, please verify that both the student's address and the direct deposit information (if applicable) in HRIS are up-to-date. When a student terminates, this information is not deleted from HRIS unless the employee has been terminated on all employment records for more than one year.

Summer School Appointments - Graduate Teaching Assistants

• Individual Graduate Student Appointment Forms (PER-41) (pdf) are not required for summer school appointments if the person held a graduate student appointment during the preceding spring semester. The information provided by the colleges will be forwarded to HR for processing into HRIS. Individual appointment forms are only required on new Graduate Teaching Assistants.

Summer Appointments - Graduate Research Assistants

• For graduate student summer appointments, submit a Graduate Student Appointment Form (PER-41) (pdf). No blanket listings will be accepted.

Separations

• To process terminations, departments have access to update Appointment End Date. See instructions at http://www.k-state.edu/hr/hris/Appointment_End_Date.pdf (pdf). Click on Appointment End Date. Terminations may also be processed by submitting a Change or Separation Form (PER-39) (pdf) if the end of appointment date is different than that indicated at the time of appointment. Use Action "Termination" (TER) and Reason "End Temporary Appt" (ETM).
