NOTICE OF PAY RATE AND PAYDAY FOR NEW HIRES
A NEW LABOR LAW
Starting on October 26, 2009, New York State Labor Law requires employers to give newly hired employees a written notice of:
- Their rate of pay, including overtime rate of pay.
- Their regular payday
This notice must be given to employees on an official form from the New York State Department of Labor at the time of hiring, before they do any work. The employer must complete the form and have the employee sign a statement of acknowledgement of the written notice and keep the signed statement for 6 years.
The form may be accessed at:

Student Employment Office has Moved!
On May 27th, the Student Employment Office moved to its new location in the new University Services Center. Our new office is located on the first floor in room 87-1350.
Phone and fax numbers remain the same.
Mission Statement
The Student Employment Office (SEO), a division of RIT's Co-op and Career Services, is responsible for administrating all aspects of on-campus employment, and for developing and implementing the Institute's policies and procedures for student employment. In addition, the SEO provides a brokerage service for students seeking off-campus part-time employment and full-time summer employment.
In keeping with RIT's tradition of experiential education, student employment is seen as another aspect of the student's educational experience. The skills and attitudes developed through working, whether an extension of knowledge gained in the classroom or those related to more menial endeavors, are vital components of the student's maturation. Consequently, the SEO believes that the student's on-campus and off-campus employment should accurately reflect the realities inherent in permanent employment.
We stress, therefore, the necessity of adherence to standards of punctuality, responsibility, neat appearance and diligence. Furthermore, we recognize that the attainment of these objectives is ensured through cooperative effort between supervisors of student employees and the SEO.
