Student Workers

This handbook contains information for students working on campus or seeking a work position.

The student work office has more guidance about finding on-campus work, finding a position for federal work study, and other concerns related to student work. Contact the student work coordinator at 503-517-4847 or studentwork@reed.edu.

Employment Forms

(Unless otherwise noted, all forms must be picked up at the business office.)

Form I-9 is used for verifying the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States. All U.S. employers must ensure proper completion of Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States.

Form W-4 is completed in order for employers to withhold the correct federal income tax from an individual's pay. The address that is entered on the form is where the W-2 tax form will be sent, if not signed up for electronic consent.

This form allows the employer to send the funds from the individual's paycheck directly into the requested bank account. Without this form, a paper check will generate that must be picked up in the business office. This check will need to be physically taken to the bank to be deposited/cashed.

You may log into IRIS to change your address.

If you wish to have a deduction made from your paycheck, download our payroll deduction form. If you have questions regarding payroll deduction, contact payroll@reed.edu.

If you would like to donate to Reed, visit giving.reed.edu.

This form is used for one-time or special payments to faculty that are not part of their annual salary. These payments must be approved by the Dean of the Faculty. For one-time payments to staff, please contact Human Resources (HR) at least 30 days prior to the requested payment date and prior to any arrangements being made with the staff member. Payroll will not process one-time payments for staff unless HR has reviewed and approved.
