6.	Meet with the employer. Be prepared to answer questions. It is a good idea for students to bring a copy of their current class schedule, hours available for work and their resume. SEC has resume samples and can provide help with preparation.
7.	The student will be notified by the Department if he/she has been hired. The Referral Form must be signed by the hiring department and returned to the SEC. Each semester a student employee's work schedule will be determined by the employer's needs as well as the student's availability. Employment is not guaranteed. Students are not permitted to work during the hours they are scheduled to be attending class unless the class has been canceled, if so student must obtain supervisory approval. Students are expected to plan their studies, projects and extra-curricular activities around both their class and work schedules.
8.	The student must return to the SEC Office to complete the I-9 and W-4 forms before beginning work. Upon completion of these documents the student can be placed on the payroll. Documents needed to complete the I-9 process Option #1: Bring one document from A and one document from B: A. One of the following pieces of identification is needed to establish identity: State driver’s license or Michigan I.D. card. B. One of the following pieces of identification is needed to establish employment eligibility: Actual Social Security Card Certified copy of a birth certificate Option #2: A U.S. Passport establishes both identity and eligibility and is all that is needed to complete the I-9 process. Additional acceptable documents are listed on the back of the I-9 form
9.	Keep a log of time worked. Students may be instructed to daily complete the Student Employee Bi-Weekly Time Sheet or a time clock. Paychecks are available bi-weekly, on Thursday, at the work site.
	If not hired, students may return to the SEC for additional information and referrals to other opportunities.
