Find a job by searching available jobs, then apply online or contact employers for interviews.

Note: Applying for jobs online does NOT guarantee you will be granted an interview or be hired. Please read the full description of a position to ensure you are eligible to apply.

 

Before starting your job search, go to the Wolverine Access > Student Business page and complete or update the information on the U-M Student Temporary Employment Application.

Once you have been offered a job, you must be prepared to complete all required employment forms.

Required Forms

1. Federal Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form

Schedule an appointment to complete the Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification. The federal government requires completion of this form for all new employees within 3 days of the first day of employment. Form I-9's are completed by appointment only (walk-ins will not be accepted). Vist the I-9 Website using the link below to view available locations and schedule your appointment:

• https://ssc.umich.edu/human-resources/i-9-processing/

To prepare for and shorten the length of the appointment, the I-9 Office encourages you to:

• Print a copy of the I-9 Form and complete Section #1 prior to arriving
• Bring unexpired original supporting documentation (copies or expired documents can NOT be accepted).

2. Direct Deposit Authorization

Direct Deposit is the University’s recommended method of delivering your paycheck. Your paycheck is deposited directly into your bank account, and you can access your pay stubs from any computer using Wolverine Access > Student Business.

3. W-4 Tax (Federal and Michigan Tax Withholding)

Upon hire, the University assumes a Federal and Michigan tax filing status of “single with no exemptions.” If your filing or exemption status is different from this, please update the information in Wolverine Access > Student Business. Look for the Federal and Michigan W-4 links.

In most instances, you may update your Federal W-4 information using Wolverine Access. First, follow the steps to view your W-4 information. Make changes to your Federal W-4 information and submit.

If you are not a U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident, you cannot update your Federal W-4 information using the web; you must complete a hardcopy form. Both forms are available for printing from the W-4 page on Wolverine Access.

4. Work-Study Job Certification Form

You will need to work with your employer to complete this form only if your employer is a non-University agency.

Beware of employment scams. Here are some tips to be safe:

• If a potential employer asks you to participate in an activity that makes you feel uncomfortable, don’t do it.
• A potential, legitimate employer will not request your bank account, credit card or Paypal account number or other information.
• Avoid sending copies of your identification or Social Security number to an unknown person.
• Phishing alert information.
