Student Employment

The Office of Career Development is your first stop for finding employment. Career Development hosts Cat Connect, a one-stop online resource for on-campus and off-campus employment, internships, networking and more! They can be reached at career@linfield.edu.

Before starting

Before you may begin employment, you will need to complete some required documentation with HR, including a Federal I-9 employment verification form. Completing the I-9 will also require presentation of original identification documents (not photos or photocopies), typically including a passport, or a combination of an ID or driver's license, birth certificate, and Social Security card. A full list of ID options can be found online. Please ensure you bring the needed documentation with you to campus to avoid any employment delays.

Starting an on-campus position

If you have found and been selected for an on-campus position, you will work with your supervisor to complete a referral form that will be turned in to Human Resources. You may collect blank referral forms from any member of the HR/Payroll team, either in person at the HR office at Melrose 109, or by emailing Steven King Brogan at skingbrogan@linfield.edu. Please note that referral forms need to be renewed each academic year, even when continuing in the same position.

Payroll

Linfield University processes payroll monthly, with pay dates on the 5th of each month, or an earlier business day if the 5th falls on a weekend or holiday. Linfield partners with the payroll software company Paycom, where you will clock in for shifts, enroll in direct deposit, and where you will be able to find your W-2 tax form at the end of the calendar year.
