Your First Day on the Job

First DayComplete your state and federal paperwork

Sign up for Direct Deposit
The College of Wooster uses a mandatory Direct Deposit system for all employees. Every two weeks pay is automatically deposited into the bank account of your choice and a pay stub is mailed to you. A voided check or a deposit slip is needed to complete this form. (ATM/Debit cards are not accepted for this form.)

Review your new department's policies
Make sure you read and have a good understanding of your hiring department's policies. Discuss responsibilities, dress code, attendance, what to do if you will be late, etc. with your supervisor before you begin work.

Review your schedule
Look over your scheduled work hours with your supervisor and make sure you both agree and understand when and for how many hours you will be working. Also, make sure you have room in your academic schedule to work the required amount of hours. Poor time management on your part will negatively affect your success in class and at work.

Ask questions
As with all other steps to on-campus employment, do not hesitate to ask questions! Contact your new supervisor or the Student Employment Office regarding any questions about your new position.
