Library Student Hourly Wage

The new Library student hourly wage amount of $5.80 is effective fall semester, 2001 (pay period starting August 24).  Students currently working or returning who are above the Library wage of $5.50 will make the same amount above the new Library wage.  For example, an individual now making $5.65 will make $5.95 in the fall.  Due to the

large volume of student employees, the increases will show on the paychecks as early as September 19, 2001, and no later than October 3, 2001.  Every student wage budget line has been increased by 6%.   Please do not send yellow student employment cards for this increase.  If you have any questions, please contact Kim at 3-5480.
