Student Employment

Description of Forms

Student Personnel Action Form (SPAF)

This is the main hiring document and is completed by both the student and employer complete. The form contains all information needed to add the student to the payroll system. A new form is required for each job. The form MUST be signed by the departmental Appointing Authority. You are responsible for making sure that the form is filled out properly, signed by the Appointing Authority in your area, and that all accompanying forms are submitted.

I-9 Form

Completed at Student Employment for all Ellensburg campus student employees. Bring appropriate unexpired identification to SE. See the Forms page for a list of acceptable ID.

  • CWU CENTERS: Both the student and supervisor complete their sections of the form. The student must present ORIGINAL UNEXPIRED documents based on the acceptable documents listed on the back of the form.  It is highly recommended that CWU Center supervisors fax the I-9 form to Student Employment (509-963-3235 Attn: Student Employment) for an initial check before the student leaves the office. Any problems can be corrected while it is convenient for the student. Incorrect forms will have to be returned which will delay the student's entry setup into the payroll system. The completed I-9 is forwarded to Student Employment with the SPAF.  (NOTE: Both pages of the form must be submitted.)

PERS Statement

Optional form for student to complete if they are enrolled full-time and wish to work more than 69 hours per month.
