Student Employees are essential to Charleston
Southern University, and the management of these
employees is very important. We have some new
policies and procedures for the upcoming academic
year which were designed to keep us in
compliance with Federal Student Employment
guidelines. Minimum wage has increased to 6.55
as of July 24th. In your Supervisor Handbook I
have included a new recommended Pay Scale.
Please keep this pay scale in mind when hiring
new students, we must maintain a level of
consistency with respect to our student wages.

contract. Both FWS and IWS students may continue
only if an IWS
Supplement Request is submitted and approved.
These additional funds will be paid from your
departments budget.

  effort has been made to reform the behavior.
