Regardless of bov\ or how
milt b eat h indiv Itb.ial is paid, a
group is only allowed to spend
the amount allot a.ted bv the

Work study presents a par
titular problem, not only lor
the comptrollers, but for the
groups themselves
With stipends, \uber said
the comptrollers tan usually
project when a group vs 111 run
out ol money Work study you
can't projet t You have no idea
hoys many hours they 're going
to work
I’or example, a work study
student could yvork 10 hours
per yveck for a month and then
yvork fit) boors one week, send
ing the payroll budget into defi

costs the student group 70 per

Amazon Child Care Director
Susan Riant hard said live work
study students unknowingly
exhausted their work study
budgets last year and continued
to work whu h i ost the pro
gram more than ante ipated
It's always been a prob
lem. Riant bard said, but this
is astronomical
I'hl* is the first year (the
program has run a payroll defi
cit), and it's not something we
want to repeat We've devel
oped a whole system to avoid
what happened last sear
\nother a< counting problem
leading to payroll deficits is
overpayment
When .1 student group hires
someone, that group's diri*ctnr
submits an employment i aril to
the. comptrollers I'he hlfe card
states whether a person vs ill he
paid hv stipend or vsork studs
