Conflicts may occur when a University employee hires a student in any non-University supported activity. Therefore, in order to help prevent these conflicts, employees who choose to employ students in any non-University activity (outside employment) must obtain written approval from their Department Head/Dean/Director prior to employing the student. The University requires that each student receive a written offer of employment with a specific scope of work or job description, the rate of compensation and the expected hours of work.
The full Policy on the Use of Students in Outside Employment is available at http://policy.uconn.edu/?p=1077.
