Payroll procedures

WorkDay processes

Contact your payroll/service representative to find out the procedures for hiring casual students.  You can also refer to the for more details on the concepts, terminology, and functionalities of Workday.


Receiving your subsidy

Subsidies are reimbursed to departments using the payroll records of Work Study students. The reimbursement process depends on bi-weekly payment of student wages for Work Study eligible students in Work Study eligible jobs where the employers still have subsidy hours remaining in the term of pay.

Reimbursement process

Reimbursements are processed on a regular basis and funds will be transferred by journal entry to the FOAPAL from which the student's wages are paid. Within the  employers will have the ability to see their allocated subsidy hours by term and the used hours across all their Work Study eligible jobs after each reimbursement process. They will also see a breakdown of usage by students in order to reconcile with their FOAPAL credit dollars.
