Steps to Rehiring Student Employees

What counts as a rehire? Continuing into a new fiscal year, returning after a brief absence in the same calendar year, changing departments, adding a second department, and similar situations. If you’re unsure, contact the Coordinator, Workforce Development (jlongnecker@santarosa.edu).

Path A — Rehire (not just fiscal-year rollover)

  • Career Hub & HR verify last date worked and work-authorization documents.
  • If current: Career Hub emails clearance with EID; student may begin work.
  • If not current: student completes any required updates/new-hire docs. After completion, clearance & EID are emailed to the student and supervisor.

Path B — Continuing into a new fiscal year only

  • Career Hub verifies eligibility.
  • If eligible: no additional paperwork and typically no email is sent.
  • If an issue arises: Career Hub contacts the department with next steps.

Reminder: Do not allow work to begin until the student receives official clearance (and EID where applicable).
