access to SECU...?

pay is competitive (depending on the job, of course)

as discussed in a previous thread, i'd rather work for NCSU than SAS in a comparable job, because the benefits at NCSU are better than at SAS, depending on what you're looking for (for me, free grad school is worth WAY more than some stupid discount tuition at cary academy...dollar for dollar, i get far more out of NCSU benefits than SAS offers)

also depending on the job, since it's the state, people don't have high expectations...i don't particularly LIKE my job, but i don't hate it, either...i'd be just as bored if i worked for another company, but the fact that i can finish my work WEEKS before necessary means that i can take my 6 hours of grad courses and do them at work, or work on extra-curricular projects

7/22/2008 2:04:05 PM

a professor would be an EPA position and you'd have to buy into some of the state benefits

you get paid more than a SPA position though

7/22/2008 2:51:21 PM

hey, do i get any of this shit if i work a part-time student maintenance job with housing?

you obviously don't know of all the benefits sas offers, then.

i wouldn't trade this job for anything.

7/22/2008 4:07:17 PM

obviously at State you get SECU, BCBS benefits, then you get the gym for free, Grad school for free? is that true?

I wonder about athletic tickets, and how is the ability to move up? anyone know?

retirement...what about that

I need more than just the basics

7/22/2008 4:17:04 PM

i know there's a site where you can look-up how long it took for people to make it up the academic ladder, but i don't remember where exactly i saw it

No. Part time employees don't get benefits.

You can do Grad School for free, 1 class a semester. If you get into grad school you can do it basically for free with an assistantship. For the Associate Professor how close are you to your PhD or Post-doc?

7/23/2008 9:19:47 AM

part-time employees can bank at SECU, too

but if you're a full-time student and a part-time employee, the number of classes you're taking can restrict how many hours you can log for payroll. I work 3 on-campus jobs during the semester to pay the bills because I was only allowed 20 hrs/week for each job...but one of them is technician and they pay by the column, not hourly, and other one was teaching e115 which runs about 10-17 hours a week depending on how many sections i was teaching.

7/23/2008 11:42:44 AM

No...it restricts how many hours you can log that aren't taxed.

You can work 40, if you like. You'll be taxed on them, though.

You're allowed to turn in 40hrs per pay period and ahve those untaxed. So if you want to work 32hrs one week, and 8 the next, you're fine. Do 32 and 9, and you're taxed on all of it.

7/23/2008 1:51:34 PM

ok, i'm a full time student and if i'm allowed to work up to 20 hrs per week, i won't have to pay taxes on the money i make from this job?

7/23/2008 4:13:27 PM

^ um, you have to pay taxes.

7/24/2008 1:23:26 PM

You have to pay a wee bit, but there's at least one type they don't automatically collect. And this only applies to on-campus jobs.

I want to say it's FICA.

Ask your boss.

Here are the categories listed on a check where I wasn't a FT student. I've taken out the amounts (all >$0)

Quote :

"Fed Withholdng Fed MED/EE Fed OASDI/EE NC Withholdng "

Here's one from when I was, and didn't exceed 40hrs in the pay period. I have it set up so I do have some taken out every pay check, because after grants and scholarships, I have always ended up owing more than I expect. So these two deductions? Because I told them to. No, I'm not considered exempt from paying taxes.

Quote :

"Fed Withholdng NC Withholdng "

Here are the categories from when I was a FT student, but submitted 119.x hrs for the pay period (old timesheets). Again, amounts taken out.

^ Only one waiver in the summer. And some other things to consider--good and bad:

REGULATIONS GOVERNING WAIVERS OF TUITION FOR FULL-TIME FACULTY AND STAFF
Effective Spring 2007

Quote :

"1. The waiver is available to employees of the University System who work 75% time or greater, contribute to the retirement System and maintain eligible employment status the entire semester. Personnel of the Armed Forces of the United States assigned under military orders to an ROTC program as a permanent change of station are also eligible for tuition/fee waiver privileges. 2. The tuition waiver may be used at any campus of the University of North Carolina system. a. Employees enrolling under the tuition waiver program are subject to the rules of the individual institutions. 3. There is no processing fee for using a waiver at NC State. 4. Employees can waive tuition and fees for up to 3 courses per Academic year (example: Fall 06, Spring 07, Summer I 07, Summer II 07). They may use multiple waivers in a Fall or Spring semester, however, they can waive only one class in the summer. 5. If an employee withdraws from a tuition-waived class after the last date to register add or drop with a tuition adjustment, the dropped course(s) counts towards the total waivers allotted per academic year. 6. The waiver can be used for Undergraduate, Graduate, or Distance Education courses. The waiver does not apply to non-Credit Continuing Education courses, a. Audited courses count towards the annual allotment of waivers. b. Faculty and Staff who are classified as 'GRADUATE' or 'PBS' (Post Baccalaureate Student) may not use a waiver and receive an additional audit course for free. When registering and paying for other on-campus classes (Distance Education does not qualify for other course work) the student may receive one audit class free. i. Example: Register for 3 classes; use waiver for 1st class and pay for the 2nd class, the 3rd class is free if audited ii. Example: Register for 3 classes and use waiver for 2 classes; the 3rd class is billed at the per credit hour rate if audited. 7. Only the classes listed on the form will have the tuition waived. a. You will be charged at the appropriate rate for the hours of registered courses not listed or eligible for the tuition waiver. b. All changes to course schedules must be submitted on a corrected and approved Tuition Waiver Application. c. Classes with Required labs/practicum are counted as one class for the purpose of calculating the waiver. These classes are listed in the MyPACK Portal with the notation to 'Schedule the Lecture and One Lab' or 'Must also register for one Section of XXX'. 8. Waiver of tuition/fee privileges do not include such other charges as special course fees, Program fees (COE, PGM), application fees, late registration fee, charges related to liquidation of student indebtedness, or miscellaneous service charges. 9. A participating employee who does not continue in an eligible employment status throughout the entire semester during which the tuition waiver has been requested, and -- (a) Who wishes nonetheless to continue their course enrollment, will become responsible for the full amount of the in-state or out-of-state tuition and fees for the total number of credit hours, which will be charged to the student's/employee's account, OR (b) Who withdraws from their course enrollment immediately coincident with the discontinuation of their eligible employment status, will not be held responsible for the tuition and fees. 10. Depending upon prevailing tax laws, the value of the tuition waived may be considered reportable taxable compensation subject to social security, federal and state tax withholding, unless the course is deemed job related. a. To meet the federal job relationship definition, the course must maintain or improve skills required for the job, or be required by the employer as a condition of continuing employment. b. If the course is needed by the employee in order to meet the minimum education requirements of the job, the job relationship definition for tax exclusion may not be used. c. It is the responsibility of the employee and supervisor to determine if the course is 'job related' or 'required for continued employment' and mark the appropriate box on the Tuition Waiver Application. d. If a participating employee officially withdraws from school or drops the class for which the tuition waiver had been requested, the value of the tuition waived will not be taxable so long as the withdrawal or course drop occurs no later than the last day to withdraw with a prorated refund for that semester. 11. The completed application is received by the Cashier's Office no later than the last day to register, add a class, or drop a course with a tuition adjustment (census date) for the semester you are registered and approved by the appropriate authority. (Director, Department Head, Assistant Dean, Dean, Vice-Provost, Provost, Vice Chancellor or Chancellor). 12. Tuition Waiver policy: http://www.ncsu.edu/policies/finance/cashiers/POL07.55.7.php 13. The form is available at http://www.fis.ncsu.edu/cashier/forms/tuition_waiver.pdf ."
