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 Departments/Offices

• To publicise job opportunities, please log in to the PolyU Job Board - Employer Portal (via PolyU-SSO) and submit a job post. CPS will publish the job advertisements on the PolyU Job Board and include them in our Weekly Reminder emails to students as appropriate. A minimum of two weeks’ advance notice is required.
• Applications will be sent to the hiring departments/offices directly, which can then contact applicants for interview arrangements.
• Once selections are confirmed, the hiring departments/offices should coordinate with the Human Resources Office (HRO) and arrange for appointment letters to be issued to the successful applicants. The hiring departments/offices are also required to maintain timesheets of work records for monthly payroll processing by the Finance Office (FO).
• We strongly encourage hiring departments/offices to provide on-the-job supervision, support and performance feedback to student helpers to enhance their career readiness.

For Student Job Seekers

• To search for job opportunities, log in to the PolyU Job Board > select “Position under Work-on-Campus Scheme” in the search bar.
• Complete the Application Form and submit it directly to the hiring departments/offices.
• Prepare thoroughly according to the job requirements listed by the hiring department/office and attend the interview.
• If you are offered a position, confirm your acceptance with the hiring department/office, including the work schedule and appointment arrangements.
• We do not recommend you work for 17 hours or more in total per week, otherwise your study would be adversely affected.

Eligibility

• The Scheme is open to all PolyU full-time sub-degree/undergraduate students as well as postgraduate students in taught programmes, including local and international students* (excluding exchange students) whose study period is not less than one academic year.
• * “International students” refer to students from all places of origin who require a student visa/entry permit to study at PolyU. The Immigration Department of the HKSAR government has strict rules regarding international students’ employment during study period.

• Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) is applicable for employments longer than 59 calendar days.
