We have many wonderful student employees in our college who make significant contributions toward our quality of work life. However, managing this specific group of employees presents some unique challenges that we all should be aware of.
Student employees tend to come and go more frequently than regular employees, which requires more frequent communication with the college HR office. For example, when a student is no longer working in your department, please remember to enter an HRA to terminate right away. There is a risk when leaving student employee status open because they still have access to various computer systems and building access if not terminated. This is a HIPPA risk and a violation of the college’s HIPAA Security Rule.
