How to Model Work-Study Payroll in 3 Steps

Follow these steps to get results in under a minute

01
Set minimum wage and hour limits
Enter the statutory minimum hourly wage, the maximum hours per week a student employee can work (typically 15-20 hours), and the pay period label for the printed payroll summary.
02
Add student employees and shift details
Add each student worker with their name, campus role, contracted hours per week, and hourly rate. The tool validates each entry against the minimum wage and maximum hour limit.
03
Review compliance flags and print payroll
Students working more than the maximum hours or earning below minimum wage are flagged in red. Print the payroll summary for HR processing and compliance records.

Thilini Jayawardena
Student Employment Coordinator
*****

"We have 140 work-study students across 12 departments. Tracking their hours and ensuring no one exceeds the 20-hour limit used to require checking spreadsheets manually each week. This tool flags every violation automatically and the print summary goes straight to each department head."

DF
David Lewis
HR Officer
*****

"The minimum wage compliance flag caught an error in one department that had been paying below the statutory rate for two months. The flag was red and immediately visible — without this tool it would have continued until an audit or complaint."

NS
Sarah Johnson
Finance Coordinator
*****

"We run the work-study payroll at the end of each week using this tool. The weekly total per student is exactly what we need for the payroll run — no additional calculation required. The print summary goes to finance as the authorised payroll document."

Michael Smith
Student Services Manager

"International students have specific hour restrictions under their visa conditions. We use the max hours limit to enforce the 20-hour limit and flag anyone approaching or exceeding it. The visual red flag is clearer than any spreadsheet formula."
