Central Washington University - Student Employment Office: Description of Forms

Student Personnel Action Form (SPAF)

Both the student and employer complete. This is the main hiring document. 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.

CWU CENTERS: For students working at CWU Centers, both the student and supervisor complete. The student completes their section and shows appropriate identification to the supervisor. Acceptable identification should be listed on the back of the form. The student must present ORIGINAL documents. The employer views the documents and completes the remainder of the form. It is highly recommended that CWU Center supervisors fax the I-9 form to Student Employment at 509-963-1788 Attn: Student Employment for an initial check before the student leaves. 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.

W-4 Form

Student completes. Only needed once to cover all years a student works at CWU. Should be updated if information changes (such as address or marital status).

PERS Statement

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

Background Inquiry Form

Please see details about halfway down the Forms page. All background inquiries are performed through the Human Resources department.
