STUDENT HIRING PROCEDURES |

We are following a new procedure when hiring students. Here are the steps:
After a student's information has been entered into payroll he/she will need to:
- Complete tax and direct deposit info on ESS tab.
- Complete online lab training and upload documents in Canvas.
- May record working hours for time spent on this training--student should not complete training prior to ESS tab appearing in myUK.
- Complete a new COVID test no more than 7 days prior to the date that onsite lab work begins.
- Proof of completion can be: copy of the scheduled appointment, a completion receipt or email from the testing site. Do not include test results.
- Provide copy of proof to your supervisor.
- Attend in-person lab training with Lab Manager Stephanie Kesner (we anticipate scheduling this in groups).
- Provide Lab Manager Alex Fogle with the number on the back of student ID so he can provide access to the Fastenal locker where certain equipment and keys are stored.
- Complete the attached motor vehicle release (MVR) form and return to Carrie.Moore@uky.edu and Alex.Fogle@uky.edu. Do not return it to the email address on the form.
- Complete key request form (this will be determined by hiring supervisor and business office). Keys will not be issued until lab training is complete.
