How are graduate interns paid? Do they get paid extra for work over breaks or summer?
Interns fill out a time sheet every two weeks for the hours they work. 50% internships should work at least 20 hours a week, while 75% internships work 30 hours per week. Each department handles break periods differently, some allow interns to increase their hours to be paid more and some do not. Some internships require summer work, while others provide the option, and others do not offer summer work opportunities.
