All newly hired employees are required to present their physical Social Security Card to be entered into the State Controller’s Office’s payroll system.

For Concurrent or rehired student employees, employment eligibility documents are typically not required but the student employee is responsible to communicate employment data updates to Student Employment, such as an address update.
Position Updates
Position updates include: pay rate correction, position number updates, and supervisory updates.
- Electronic Student Position Number Update Request (Cherwell)*
- Electronic Student Pay Rate Update Request (Cherwell)**
- Work Lead/Supervisor(MPP)/Timekeeper Change Form
*We advise contacting Student Employment should you have questions related to utilizing the electronic (Cherwell) requests or the approval process.
**For pay rate updates, student employee compensation rates should be determined strictly by the duties and responsibilities required to perform the job and not by the innate ability of a student employee, the student employee’s longevity on the job, or the availability of departmental funding. An updated description of duties that has been authorized by the department Program Administrator (Dean/MPP) should be submitted with each request to justify the requested pay rate.
Performance
Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act (HEERA) is California State law, which defines responsibilities of a manager. A HEERA manager is called many other names too: Administrators, MPP’s(Management Personnel Plan), or Non-bargaining Unit Administrators, yet they all mean the same.
An MPP defined is in Title 5 Article 2.2 of the California Code of Regulations and spells out employment rights, benefits and the conditions where employees are designated as "management" or "supervisory" who become HEERA managers.
HEERA gives MPP’s the authority to take employment actions such as to: hire, discipline, finalize performance evaluations, submit in-range/classifications, etc.
It is recommended that program administrators(MPP/Dean/Dept Chair) complete performance evaluations for student employees and discuss the student’s performance, strengths, and areas needing growth and development.
