All wage-earning positions must have an hourly rate and 'work schedule' rule. Wages are paid for services rendered and can be paid either hourly or salaried.

A fellowship typically furthers the education and training of the recipient in his or her individual capacity. Fellowships are paid to, or for the benefit of, an individual primarily to aid in the pursuit of study or research. To qualify as a fellowship, the payment must be a relatively disinterested "no strings attached" educational grant with no requirement on the recipient's part to perform substantial services.

Fellowship payments can be made in 1 of 2 ways, either by semi-monthly payroll or by lump-sum payment.

• If you wish to pay a fellowship payment on a semi-monthly basis you must first create a 'Non-Employee' position followed by an ISR New Hire.
• If you wish to give a student a lump-sum fellowship payment you can do so using an ISR Bonus Supplement, provided the student has an active position in payroll.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
You CANNOT 'Reassign' a Fellowship pernr to a 'Wage' position and vice versa.
You CANNOT pay a taxable lump-sum Bonus Supplement using a Non-Employee pernr.

For more information regarding fellowship payments please check out the following web links. You can also contact the Office of University Experiential Learning at 410-516-8414.

FELLOWSHIP PAYMENTS TO GRADUATE STUDENTS - please note, the information on this page also pertains to undergraduate students who receives a fellowship.
FELLOWSHIP PAYMENTS TO POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS

The term "stipend" typically refers to a fellowship but is sometimes used to refer to a salaried (wage) position. If the stipend is a wage-earning position, it must have an hourly rate and work-schedule rule.

PHD & GRAD Students Paid By Stipend:
Students with F-1 and J-1 visas receiving a stipend who wish to undertake additional on-campus employment during fall or spring semester would only be eligible to do so if the position qualifies for Curricular Practical Training (CPT). Please contact OIS at ois@jhu.edu to determine if CPT is necessary. Students requiring CPT need to allow time for the authorization process before beginning their new position.

The following OIS webpage explains the scenario for grad students paid by stipend.

There are two (2) mechanisms to pay Federal Work Study (FWS) in SAP. If the student is paid hourly, the hiring department must indicate on the ISR (Comments Section) the FWS award type and award amount. The hours are paid in CATS. When time is posted, the appropriate split between the department funds and the FWS budget is done automatically. When the FWS award has been reached and/or when the FWS end-date is reached, the hiring department's budget will be automatically charged 100%.

If the student is paid salaried (graduate students only), the hiring department must indicate on the ISR the base pay and labor distribution to indicate the appropriate split between department and FWS budgets. These two figures combined cannot exceed the FWS award.

The first step is to determine the number of pay-cycles based on the total award divided by the semi-monthly salary. For example, $5000 award/$1000 semi-monthly salary = 5 pays. Next, you must determine the amount to be charged to each budget (FWS/Dept.). For example, $1,000 semi-monthly salary / 75% = $750 to the FWS budget (and) 25% = $250 to the department budget. Both budget lines must be included on the ISR. For this example, the start and end dates will extend over 5 pays. NOTE: Federal Work Study cannot be paid using the ISR Bonus Supplement form as there is no mechanism in place to track the work commitment nor the FWS funds.

When students reach their maximum FWS allocation, all hours submitted for earnings in excess of the student's FWS award will automatically be charged 100 percent to the hiring department for the original period authorized on his/her ISR Form.

Monitoring FWS Earnings: It is the employer's and employee's responsibility to ensure that the student does not exceed his/her FWS award limit.

The following information correlates to the Federal Work Study Z-Code Chart for Homewood students (i.e., ASEN).

The FWS/Department Budget SPLIT is:
- Traditional (FWS): 75% Federal budget / 25% Employer budget
- Community Service: 90% Federal budget / 10% Employer budget
- America Reads: 100% Federal budget

ISR Examples
Undergraduate Student Paid Hourly with FWS - Use this same example to pay a Graduate student hourly.
Graduate Student Paid Salaried with FWS - Undergraduates using FWS must be paid hourly.

Occasionally it is necessary for the Office of Student Financial Services (SFS) to reduce a student's Federal Work Study (FWS) award. Upon notification of an award reduction, the employer should re-evaluate the student's work schedule to make sure hours are not assigned that would bring student earnings in excess of the adjusted award amount.

In a case where the student has already exceeded the reduced award, the hiring department will automatically be charged 100% of all excess earnings.

Any adjustments to a student's financial award, increase or decrease, are authorized by SFS and the employer is notified immediately once University Experiential Learning has been alerted by SFS.

For students with Federal Work-Study who will continue to work in the same department/same job either between academic years (or) if you hired the student non-FWS and they now have FWS (within the same year). You must submit an FWS Job Continuation Form. Please note: If the hourly rate of pay is different from what currently exists in SAP, you must also submit an Employment Action (EA) Salary Change.

For students who will continue to work in the Same Department - Same Job using work-study, either between academic years (OR) if you hired the student non-FWS and are changing 'to' FWS (within the same year), you will not complete an ISR.

Instead, we have created an electronic form for your convenience that allows you to update the student's payroll information in SAP using the new FWS Job Continuation Form (JCF)

Example Scenarios:

• Student/s with FWS worked for your department last academic year and is returning this year to the same job. The JCF will automatically apply the new FWS to the position.
• You hired a student during the summer non-FWS and plan to continue their employment through the fall. The student informs you that they have FWS for the academic year. The JCF will automatically apply the FWS to the position.

However, if the hourly rate of pay you enter is different from what currently exist in SAP, you MUST also submit an Employment Action (EA) Salary Change.

• Undergraduate students receiving FWS must be paid on an hourly basis.
• FWS monies do not carry over from one academic year to the other.
• FWS awards cannot be credited to a student's tuition account; a paycheck is issued to the student.
• FWS monies may be subject to tax withholding.

Full-time Johns Hopkins University students who receive a salary or wage from the university may work no more than 19.99 hrs per week during periods of enrollment. Hours worked at multiple jobs concurrently count toward the weekly limit.

The standard university work schedule is 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. For payroll purposes, the standard work week consists of seven days, 12:01 a.m. Monday through midnight the following Sunday.

• For student workers over 18 years of age, breaks of 20 minutes or more are unpaid. Breaks of less than 20 minutes must be paid. There is no legal requirement to provide a break during a work shift. However, for students who work 6 consecutive hours or more in one day, we strongly recommend that they be granted a 30 minute lunch break.
• Student workers under 18 years of age are considered minors and must receive a 30 minute break for every five consecutive hours of work.

In other case, if a student works during a scheduled break, the entire break is considered time worked, and must be paid and included in the sum of hours worked during the work week. This is especially important to remember during intersession and summer break.

During periods of non-enrollment, students are allowed to work full-time. As a result, any hourly paid student who works in excess of 40 hrs per week is required by law to receive overtime at time and a half pay.

How is overtime calculated?
For example: If the student works early in the week for one department and later in the week for another, the 2nd department has the hours over 40 and the overtime. In a case where the student works 5 hours a day for two separate departments simultaneously, the departments would share.

During periods of non-enrollment (i.e. summer, winter vacation, and intersession), as well as spring and thanksgiving break, student employees may work up to 40 hours per week. However, students may not begin working more than 19.99 hours until the Monday after the posted final exam period. This date can be found on the university's Academic Calendar.

Students who work for the university, in a student job classification, are not eligible for paid holiday leave. If a student works on a holiday, they are to be paid their standard hourly wage/salary.

In keeping with the Fair Labor Standards Act, all female faculty, staff and student-employees who breastfeed their child will be provided reasonable break times to express milk throughout the day. Review the complete Policy for nursing mothers.
