The student wage structure has been revised as a result of July's minimum wage increase. Please note that the Wage Cap has not increased and will remain at $16.50 per hour. All current student employees earning less than $11.25 per hour on July 1 will automatically have the increase applied on that date.

Work Study Reminders
Don't forget that all work study awards ended on June 15 so if you have a student working beyond June 15th, you will need to complete a new EPAF.
Any work study hours not submitted, posted, and paid in FY17, will be charged at 100% to the departmental index code.

Student Employment "Term Off"
As a reminder, graduating student employees may only continue working in a student appointment through the end of the pay period in which graduation falls, but not beyond. Graduating students pre-registered or admitted for classes at PSU may remain student employees during the intervening term.

Length of Service Increase for PSUFA
Per Article 12, Section 5 of the PSUFA contract, certain adjuncts will be eligible for a Length of Service Increase effective this fall. This increase will be applied to the per credit rate after the overall increase has been applied. For example, someone who is at $892 per credit, will be increased to $928 per credit and then will receive their length of service increase on top of that.
Lists of eligible adjuncts, including the amount of the calculated increase, will be sent to departments as soon as completed. Adjuncts will also receive notification of their increase via e mail.
Increased rates do not need to be entered on the letters until increase lists are sent out.

Crucial Conversations Training
Crucial Conversations is a course that teaches skills for creating alignment and agreement by fostering open dialogue around high-stakes, emotional, or risky topics - at all levels of the organization. By learning how to speak and be heard (and encouraging others to do the same), you'll begin to surface the best ideas, make the highest-quality decisions, and then act on your decisions with unity and commitment. This training is based on the Crucial Conversations book and curriculum created by Vital Smarts. More information is available at www.vitalsmarts.com.

Hiring Out-of-State Employees Reminder
Employment laws, payroll tax regulations, workers’ compensation coverage and unemployment insurance vary significantly by state. In addition, some states place restrictions on the offering of on-line courses if the University also employs a faculty member who teaches on-line from that state (i.e. the faculty member resides and works in that state).To allow adequate time to obtain PSU authorization, and to coordinate regulatory compliance in the other state, we recommend submitting the authorization request 6 to 10 weeks before the proposed hire date.
HR will notify you of authorization to hire; then a job offer can be made and a Letter of Offer with an attached Telecommuting Authorization can be issued for acceptance. At this point HR will also begin coordination with you, the hiring department, and the prospective employee to obtain mandatory hiring forms (including I-9, State specific tax forms, Workers’ Compensation and Unemployment coverage, etc.).
This process is mandatory when hiring or rehiring employees who will reside and perform their PSU work off-site in a US location outside of Oregon. This policy does not cover or authorize employment in the US Territories or other countries.
