Embedded Peer Tutor Payroll Guidelines

To ensure compliance with campus payroll policies and support our tutors effectively, please review these important payroll guidelines for Embedded Peer Tutors.

Core Payroll Guidelines

No Holiday or Weekend Work: Tutors should not work holidays nor weekends
Daily Hour Limit: No more than 8 hours may be logged in a single day
Weekly Hour Limit: Tutors should not exceed the 20-hour work limit per week
Lunch Breaks Required: Appropriate lunch breaks must be included during longer workdays

Managing Combined Hours

Important Note for Tutors with Multiple Assignments

Since many tutors also work drop-in hours in the Student Success Center (SSC), it's important that we (SSC, faculty member, and EPT) carefully build their schedules so that their combined embedded and drop-in hours do not exceed the 20-hour weekly limit.

Canvas-Related Work Recommendations

For canvas-related work, we recommend assigning a set number of hours per week (typically no more than 2 hours, though this can vary).

Best Practices:

Schedule canvas work time consistently each week
Avoid overlapping hours to ensure compliance with payroll guidelines
Make tracking easier by having faculty work logs mirror tutor timesheets

📋 Key Takeaway

Careful schedule coordination ensures tutors stay within the 20-hour weekly limit while maintaining compliance with all campus payroll policies.
