Employment by Student Organizations

Student organizations can hire both student and non-student employees to provide services for the organization.

To employ students:

1. Student employees being hired must complete the MIT I-9 process.
2. Financial Signatories are responsible for hiring student employees on behalf of the student organization and must complete the Student Employment Form prior to the employee’s start date.

To employ non-students:

1. Financial Signatories are responsible for hiring student employees on behalf of the student organization. They must confirm:
   1. That the individual is not a student.
   2. The details of the position description
   3. The desired rate of pay (include the amount in the “total financial commitment” field)

The financial signatory must submit an Employment Agreement Form.

2. Once the forms have been approved by SOLE, they are sent to DSL for review and approval.
3. Once the forms have been approved by DSL, the non-student individual being hired must then complete the MIT I-9 process and provide background information, if they have not done so before, then payment can begin. This process can take up to 1 month.

Individual suppliers:

Sometimes student organizations need to pay a non-student individual for a service provided, such as being a DJ or performing. This type of non-student individual is considered an individual supplier, not a non-student employee, and payment for their services must be processed through the B2P system.
