Notice to FWS Student Supervisors

Per federal regulations, students are not permitted to work in FWS positions during their scheduled class times. Students should submit their course schedule to their supervisor in order to ensure that they are not working during class time. If a supervisor requires a student to work during class time, the department may be forced to surrender their FWS allocation. Student Employment in cooperation with HR/Payroll and Financial Aid will be monitoring hours worked by FWS students to ensure they do not work during scheduled class times. 

Student Break Waiver

Student employees at UND shall be offered meal period and/or rest period breaks in accordance with federal and state labor laws.

• All departments are required to offer employees who work more than five consecutive hours in any one day a minimum of thirty consecutive minutes for one meal. A student employee may waive their right to an unpaid meal break if their employing department is in agreement. 
• If the employing department allows a student to waive their unpaid meal break, the student must complete the Student Break Waiver Form and the employing department must keep the signed Student Break Waiver Form on file. If a student completes a Student Break Waiver Form, the student is still entitled to a minimum 30-minute unpaid meal break if they choose. 
• Departments can offer students a paid rest break consisting of 15 minutes for every half-day the student works. If a department chooses to offer a paid rest break, they must offer this paid rest break to all student employees. Student employees must be relieved of all duties during a meal break or rest period and be free to leave their assigned work area. 
• Meal breaks and/or rest periods should be scheduled by the supervisor to allow for appropriate coverage of the department. However, departments must schedule reasonable meal breaks and/or rest periods in accordance with the student’s shift. 
• Meal breaks or rest periods must be taken during the student’s shift and cannot be taken at the start or end of a shift. The workday may not be shortened and meal breaks may not be lengthened by omitting rest periods.
