Flexible Support Team
Departments sometimes have short-term production or service needs that their regular student team cannot meet. Supervisors may request temporary support through the Flexible Support Team designation in these cases. This option allows students to work up to ten (10) additional hours in another department for a short period while continuing their regular labor position without interruption. Students on the Flexible Support Team are paid from the department’s regular budget at $10.50/hour. Supervisors interested in using the Flexible Support Team should contact the Program Office before scheduling students for work.
Departments are also encouraged to collaborate informally by sharing students with similar skills during periods of heavier workload. This type of work-sharing does not require additional paperwork, and hours are reported under the student’s regular primary assignment
