Why don't I see all my students in my list?

• Only the students for which you are the supervisor are displayed in your list.
  • If the supervisor needs to be updated for a student, please contact Donna Boggs in the Human Resources Office at (336) 278-5668.
• Students are listed with their respective position ID and current status.  If a student has a status of Inactive then they may be eligible for rehire using the Rehire button on the Student Staff Information page or on the Rehire multiple students page.
  • The rehire eligibility is determined by the student's FW or IW eligibility and if that eligibility corresponds to the position information.
  • A common scenario is for a student to have had FW eligibility last year so they were hired in an FW position but this year they have IW eligibility.
    • They are not able to be rehired for the FW position and the supervisor would need to complete a new work agreement for the IW position.
• If a student does not have the Rehire button available then use the Enter a new work agreement option.

A student has worked for me in the past.  Why aren't I able to do a rehire for them instead of completing a new work agreement?

• If a student has a status of Inactive then they may be eligible for rehire using the Rehire button on the Student Staff Information page or on the Rehire multiple students page.
  • The rehire eligibility is determined by the student's FW or IW eligibility and if that eligibility corresponds to the position information.
  • A common scenario is for a student to have had FW eligibility last year so they were hired in an FW position but this year they have IW eligibility.
    • They are not able to be rehired for the FW position and the supervisor would need to complete a new work agreement for the IW position.

Why don't I see the position I need in the drop down list when I do a new work agreement?

• Students are not able to be hired for duplicate positions
  • If the student already has the position assigned to them with you as the supervisor and the position is not listed then you should use the Rehire option on the Student Staff Information page or the Rehire multiple students page.
• Positions are displayed based on the following criteria:
  • The student's FW, IW, and PACE eligibility
  • Pay rate vs stipend
  • Payroll account number
• Only positions meeting the criteria will be in the list

Why does my student not see their time sheet?

• Each academic year and for all positions, every student employee must have a new work agreement submitted by their supervisor, approved by Human Resources, and accepted by the student.
• The completed work agreement populates the Payroll system so time sheets can be generated.
• If a student does not see their time sheet then the supervisor should ensure that a work agreement was completed for the student and the specific position.
• Any employment questions should be directed to the Human Resources Office at (336) 278-5668.

I am having issues with a work agreement

• For employment questions, please contact Human Resources at (336) 278-5668.

• On the Rehire Multiple Students page, any errors will be outlined with a red box and an error message will be displayed beside the Submit button.  The red box will not disappear until you click Submit again, even if you have corrected the error.

What is the Start Date?

IMPORTANT: Please double check the start date as the date may have been changed to match the I-9 form.

What are the steps for entering a student work agreement?

• The supervisor enters the work agreement information in OnTrack and submits it to Human Resources for approval.
  • If the student needs to submit their I-9 form or have their visa information verified then both the supervisor and student will receive emails explaining the next step.
  • The work agreement status will be changed to HOLDING/STUDENT/I9, HOLDING/STUDENT/VISA or HOLDING/STUDENT/I9&VISA and the work agreement will not be able to proceed until the student completes all tasks.
  • Once the student has submitted their I-9 form and/or had their visa information verified then the work agreement is forwarded to Human Resources for approval.
  • IMPORTANT: Please double check the start date as the date may have been changed to match the I-9 form.
• Human Resources approves the work agreement.
• The student receives an email notifying them of the work agreement.
• The student accesses the work agreement in OnTrack, agrees to the terms of employment, and accepts the position.
• The work agreement is processed in the Payroll system.
• The supervisor and student receive an email notifying them the work agreement has been processed and the student is eligible to begin employment.
