Are work-study student employees paid the same way as any other hourly employees?
Just like an hourly job, you are paid according to the number of hours that you work. Your pay will equal your hourly wage times the number of hours you worked each week. Every two weeks, you will receive a paycheck for the pay you earned in the past two weeks, up to your FWS award. Due to payroll procedures, you will receive your first paycheck one pay period (approximately four weeks) after the pay period in which you started working. Once you receive your paycheck, you are free to spend it on personal and educational expenses.
