For Employers of Student Workers
Students are required to complete the Federal Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, before they can be hired.
All jobs should be posted on the “jobs hub” in Workday. For assistance, reach out directly to Student Employment at studemp@smith.edu or review this help article.
Students awarded work-study have priority for all jobs on campus. Students without work-study can be hired for jobs after October 1 in the fall and two weeks after classes start in the spring.
Requests for Directly Hiring a Student
To request an exception for hiring a student who is not a work-study recipient, all requests must be emailed to the Student Employment office at studemp@smith.edu.
The email should include a brief explanation for the exception, and employers must have advertised the position and considered work-study applicants first. Exceptions are granted only under very special conditions, and the position must be reopened the following semester for work-study students.
Before a Student Can Work
Students must fill out all required paperwork and be hired through Workday before their employment can begin. Incoming first-year students will be unable to complete their mandatory employment forms until their arrival on campus at Central Check-In.
Student employees are an integral part of the daily operation of Smith College as well as the community at large, where they work for schools, nonprofit agencies, businesses and individuals.
In planning work schedules, the supervisor should be aware of exam periods and breaks during the academic year. Although the student's first priority is academic performance, the student also has a responsibility to her job. With communication and structure, the goals of work and study can be achieved and become a rewarding experience for all involved.
