Job Openings

UAHuntsville allows students to view current opening and choose which positions they wish to apply for.  The current openings list will provide you with a contact person, phone number, and brief job description.  It is up to the student to make the initial contact with the department and request and interview.

How will I be notified if I am hired?

Make sure that the contact person that you interview with has a current phone number or email address to contact you.  The supervisor that wishes to employee you will contact you once they have completed their interviews.

Hired

Once you have been hired, the Supervisor will need to e-mail Ms. Karen Roland at: rolandm@email.uah.edu and request you by name and ID number.

The supervisor will then direct you to the Office of Student Financial Services (University Center, Room 212) to complete paperwork for payroll (please bring your social security card and valid driver's license) for documentation.

Work-Study Payroll Information

Web time entry time sheets are available online once your paperwork has been completed for hire.  The Office of Student Financial Services will provide information on submission.

RECEIVING A PAYCHECK

Two options are available for check distribution. Checks may be directly deposited into the student's checking or any bank or credit union savings account located within the Continental United States that is a member of the automated clearinghouse, or students may pick-up their checks in the Payroll Office (151Shelby King Hall) on pay day with a valid photo ID. Work-study students are paid biweekly. Students may pick up paychecks every other Friday (alternating weeks when time sheets are due)or you may choose to do a Direct Deposit Form that must be completed and turned into the Payroll Office.
