Action Items Due
Log into Ignite and confirm the assignments of each student worker in your area BEFORE submitting report to HR.
Ignite pathway for this report: Tools > HCM Management Data Portal > Current Student Assignment
If your student workers will not be working for you this summer, please submit a Separation Request. You may submit Rehire Requisition Requests for the Fall at any point. The benefits of this process are included below!
Ensures the job does not impede the student’s ability to obtain summer employment in another area on campus.
Ensures students are not logging time on the wrong assignment.
Eliminates the need for supervisors to be assigned timecard approvals when the student is not actively working in your area.
Submit Rehire Form Requests in Ignite prior to start date.
If rehiring more than 3 student workers, submit the mass rehire/change/separation form.
Additional processing time is needed if background check is required.
Student Employment will begin closing out May 2023 - May 2024 Job Requisitions after graduation.
Managers are expected to submit new job requisitions each academic year.
Any jobs submitted for Summer 2023 – Spring 2024 hiring will be closed by Student Employment Staff.
Please ensure you have your existing job requisition numbers available when submitting new Rehire Form Requests – this will help expedite the process!
