Work-on-Campus Scheme

The Work-on-Campus Scheme provides work opportunities for PolyU students to work as part-time student assistants on campus. For PolyU departments/offices interested in recruiting student assistants, please create job postings on PolyU Job Board.

How does it work?

For Hiring Units

• To publicise job opportunities, please log on to PolyU Job Board – Employer Portal (via PolyU-SSO) and submit a job posting request. CPS will publish the vacancy on PolyU Job Board and, as appropriate, include it in our Weekly Reminder emails to students. Please allow at least two weeks for processing and publication.
• Applicants’ applications will be submitted to the hiring units directly. The hiring unit may then contact applicants to arrange for interviews.
• Before confirming an appointment, the hiring unit should remind non-local students to verify their visa/entry-permit conditions and ensure that they hold a valid No Objection Letter (NOL). For details, please refer to “Employment during the Study Programme” on the website of the Immigration Department, HKSAR Government.
• The remuneration rate is generally HK$80/hour. For details about Statutory Minimum Wage, please refer to the website of the Labour Department, HKSAR Government. Employment exceeding 59 calendar days is subject to Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) requirements.
• Upon completion of the selection process, the hiring unit should:
• coordinate with the Human Resources Office (HRO) and arrange for the issuance of appointment letters to successful applicants; and
• maintain timesheets for monthly payroll processing by the Finance Office (FO), obtaining student assistants’ acknowledgement of their recorded working hours, and ensuring timely payment.
• On-the-job supervision and performance feedback are strongly encouraged to be provided for the student assistants throughout their employment.
