| Student employee wages |
Effective June 1, the Wartburg College Student Employment program will require all student employees to deposit their wages directly into their bank account, set up a Student Payroll Deduction Agreement to have wages applied to their tuition account, or arrange a combination of these two options. This change is part of the college’s expense-reduction efforts as well as a way in which we can adapt more sustainable practices. Supervisors are encouraged to talk with their student employees about this change and direct them to the Student Employment Office to make arrangements for their future wages. Direct questions to Abbie Raum, student employment coordinator, at studentemployment@wartburg.edu or 352-8350.
