Effective Feb. 12, Elon University student employees are now eligible to receive an hourly wage of $1 more per hour. The change comes two years after the hiring freeze that the university put in place due to the coronavirus pandemic, which did not allow for any wage increases.
According to an email from Human Resources Coordinator Donna Boggs, the $1 wage increase will happen automatically effective Feb. 12, which is the next student payroll period. Student employees are paid on a bi-weekly basis. Students are eligible for a wage increase by 25 cent per hour if the student has worked in the same position or department for at least two semesters, prior to this spring semester.
Requests for a 25 cent per hour increase are made by supervisors and must be requested prior to March 4.
