Greetings from the Office of Student Employment,

The University seeks to ensure consistent compensation and employment practices for every student working on campus. In an effort to retain, reward, and provide equitable pay to our student employees, we have instituted a new starting pay for all hourly student positions.

Effective May 1, 2022, the new University starting rate for hourly student positions will be $11 per hour. Positions requiring pay above $15 (e.g., special training or skills) must receive approval from the Office of Student Employment. Please provide a brief job description when submitting these jobs.

If your department has the funding and you wish to increase your student worker rates sooner, you can use the Student Jobs Hiring Tool at this time.  If you have a large number of students you would like to change, please email Student Employment at studempl@nd.edu for additional guidance.

This change provides departments an opportunity to pay students a more competitive rate with the local job market based on their responsibilities and performance. We hope you share our enthusiasm in acknowledging the work that our student employees do.

If you have any questions that have not been addressed in this communication, please contact the Office of Student Employment at stdempl@nd.edu.
