Use this article to enter, track, verify and ensure the accuracy of work study award use in payroll.

FASS Agent Step-by-step guide

  1. FASS Payroll requests information from student during new employee orientation or during new award period (Summer, academic year awards):

    1. Do you have a work study award?
    2. Are we able to use it?
  2. Prior to Open Window, Run Work Study report.

  3. Review report for student's available balance and eligibility (may not be utilized during free term).
  4. Calculate amount of work study to use:

    • Calculate the number of hours available for award use per pay period, based on hourly rate, until exhausted.
    • For Zero Waste students, send notification to Supervisors letting them know when the student exhausts their award amount.
