Student Employment Manual

The  Student Employment Manual has been prepared for the benefit of Baldwin-Wallace College students and for faculty and staff who hire student assistants.    The manual outlines procedures and offers guidelines to be  used for hiring, paying, and terminating student employees.  In addition, we have attempted to express the philosophy of employing student workers and to explain the rights and responsibilities of students and their employers.
