To be eligible for student employment, students must be enrolled in a degree-seeking program, taking a minimum of six credits. All student employees are required to have a completed I-9 on file with the Office of Human Resources prior to beginning work and have a valid Social Security number.

Form I-9:
When completing the I-9, students must provide original, unexpired documents from the Acceptable Document List established by the Department of Homeland Security. Documents must be original and unexpired. Pictures and copies are strictly prohibited.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services requires all employers to complete Form I-9 with all newly hired employees. This will require students to provide Human Resources with documentation that proves identity and work authorization (an example would be a Social Security card and photo ID). All documentation must be original and unexpired.

Federal Work Study offers part-time employment opportunities for students with financial needs, enabling them to earn money to offset educational expenses. Each year, the government allocates funds to the College for the Federal Work Study program. These funds are specifically designated to cover student wages. If the student exceeds their Federal Work Study allotment, the additional wages will be funded by institutional funds.

It’s important to note that being awarded a Federal Work Study does not guarantee employment, and the College does not facilitate job placement for students with a work-study award. Students are encouraged to actively seek student employment opportunities via Workday.

On-campus jobs are posted on Workday, and campus jobs are part-time, temporary, and posted throughout the academic year.

Minimum wage in the State of Florida is $12.00 per hour. Students can earn up to $15.00 per hour, depending on the position. Positions fall into four distinct tiers, each determining the corresponding hourly wage depending on the complexity of the job.

Students can work up to a maximum of 20 hours per week. The restriction is in place to prioritize academics, ensuring that work commitments do not impede the students’ academics. There is no limit on the number of jobs a student can hold. However, the total number of hours for all jobs combined cannot exceed 20 hours per week.

Student employees can choose to sign up for direct deposit or receive a pay card issued by the College’s payroll provider. The pay card works similar to a debit card.

Note: Students that receive a Federal Work Study award will be paid through payroll. The award amount is not applied to tuition, fees, or room and board.

Students holding an F-1 visa are eligible to work on campus. Students on F-1 visas must understand the rules and regulations of their visa requirements prior to engaging in any work-related activities. Employment is defined as “work performed in exchange for compensation”. Work must be performed in the United States, remote work in the student’s home country is strictly prohibited.

Social Security Number:
F-1 visa holders who have secured on-campus employment are required to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) if they currently do not have one. To apply for an SSN, the student must visit the local Social Security Administration (SSA) office with documentation such as their passport, I-20, most recent I-94, and three letters from the College verifying the student has received a valid job offer. F-1 students can apply for a Social Security Number no earlier than 30 days before the start date of their on-campus employment.

The Office of Human Resources will permit international students to work while their SSN application processes which may take up to 3-4 weeks.

The requirement of obtaining a Social Security Number is to report earnings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Upon job offer, Human Resources will assist international students in applying for a Social Security Number.

Tax Considerations:
International students are subject to federal income taxes unless the student has qualified for a tax treaty exemption. There is no state income tax in Florida.

Tax Treaties:
A tax treaty is an agreement between two or more countries that determines which types of income can be taxed by which country. Types of income include wages, compensation, prizes, awards, or scholarships. Should a student qualify for a tax treaty, they may be eligible for a federal income tax exemption on specified types of income outlined in the tax treaty.

The College utilizes Glacier, an online tax compliance system, to determine tax treaty eligibility.

Work Hours:

Students on an F-1 visa are permitted to work up to 20 hours per week. Per ��ݮ��Ƶ College policy, international students cannot work more than 20 hours per week during periods of non-enrollment or winter and spring breaks.
