Now that you have hired your student:

1. Clearly define the expectations of the job and discuss employment policies.
2. Train your students how to log time and when to submit time in Workday.
3. If your student is working in a position that has access to sensitive or confidential information, be sure to have each student sign a confidentiality agreement on an annual basis. Once signed, scan and upload agreement to the employee's Workday file. All agreements should be retained in Workday.
