Student Employment Program

.

Feather River College has a variety of jobs available to students during the academic year; FRC employs 80-120 students each semester.   Students compete with other students for jobs.  No one is promised a position, and qualifying for work study is not a guarantee of employment. 

To be eligible for student employment, you must be enrolled in 6 units or more, and cannot work more than 20 hours per week.

It is your responsibility to show up for work on time and as scheduled. Notifying your supervisor in case of an absence is advised. Tardiness, excessive absence, and leaving work early are grounds for termination.
• While on the job, student employees are required to dress appropriately and act professionally. Goofing off, mouthing off, and other inappropriate behavior are grounds for termination.
• Some students work in information sensitive areas and are required to maintain the strictest confidentiality.
• Students are responsible for keeping a monthly Time Sheet ( Time Sheet forms will be provided by your supervisor). Time Sheets must be completed, signed, verified by the supervisor, and submitted to the Payroll Office by the 2nd of each month. Paychecks are available at the Campus Switchboard by the 10th of each month.
