Copy Jobs from Current to New Academic Terms

Note: Before copying over jobs, check current wages have been increased to minimum wage. If wages are not at the minimum, you will receive an error message.

Employers should submit jobs by the last day of April for the fall/winter terms.

Maintaining Number of Jobs Available

First, employers will be sent an email each time a student selects one of their positions. See below.

Students name has accepted:

Job Number: MU 111
Job Title: Student Assistant
Supervisor: Truman the Tiger
Student Email: ttg111@mail.missouri.edu

Work-Study Contacts will be able to see a list of all applicants by using the ‘Search Jobs’ tab option and selecting the ‘My Students’ tab. For each new applicant, the number of jobs available will decrease. Therefore, it is important for the employer to “release” any students who are not hired.

To do this select ‘My Students’ tab.  Click ‘Edit’ next to the student’s information. Locate ‘Hiring Status’ and change to ‘Released’ or ‘Hired.’ Students cannot be hired prior to the first day of class.

If an employer needs to increase/decrease total number of jobs available, they must edit the specified job to modify the number of total positions available.
