EACH semester student employees and departmental supervisors must read the following information about the
work-study program and sign below.
Work-study employees must have an appointment approved each semester in the UT Share-Human Resource
System. A Personnel Action Form (PAF) must be submitted by the hiring department, approved by the work-study
Coordinator, and routed to HR for employment/payroll approval. An appointment will not be approved by the
Financial Aid Office until AFTER a copy of the signed Work-Study Agreement is received. The work-study award
amount represents the maximum a student can earn each semester. The employing department’s budget will be
charged 100% after a work-study student exceeds their semester award. The maximum award can be viewed or
printed from myUTTyler (Financial Aid Award Summary). Students will be notified via Patriot email account of
award changes. The work-study Coordinator will notify Human Resources if changes occur after the appointment
is approved.
Work-Study employees must attend student employee orientation and complete the employment packet
containing a W-4 and I-9 form. All paperwork must be returned to Human Resources upon completion.
Employment is temporary until a complete background check is returned and approved.
