Are you a Graduate Student?
Your work study award begins each year on July 1. You should begin asking around your department and talking to your program's close contacts to ask about possible job openings. Talking with your program is the best way to find jobs. If you get a job before July 1, you need to be re-hired in July to earn money for your job.
Are you a Supervisor?
Contact Human Resources for specific questions about Paycom or policies.
