• No person may be simultaneously employed on the Labor, Salary, and Student Payrolls.

Rest Periods

• It is University policy that student employees should be given a 15 minute rest period during each continuous four hours of work. Rest periods are scheduled by the supervisor to insure the continued efficiency of the work unit.
• The rest period is to be preceded and followed by a work period. It should not be used to cover a student's late arrival or early departure. Rest periods cannot be accumulated.
