Upcoming changes to WVU's student worker program
The Shared Services Center recently shared some important information (below) with all supervisors regarding the WVU student worker program. Effective immediately, hourly student workers, excluding international student workers, may now work up to 28 hours per week. Historically, student workers were permitted to work a maximum of 20 hours per week during a regular term. Please note that federal law still limits international students to work only 20 hours per week during the regular term. Working more than 20 hours per week during the regular term can have serious implications for an international student's immigration status. WVU Shared Services Message:
