Termination & Workplace Issues
Federal work-study students are accountable for,
- job proficiency and performance;
- dependability;
- personal conduct; and
- general compliance with Northwestern Federal Work-Study, Human Resources, and department/unit policies and procedures.
Please refer to the information on Northwestern's Student Employment website when navigating Workplace Issues or Termination topics. When terminations are voluntary, two weeks' written notice by either party is expected.
Additional campus resources may be able to help navigate or mediate conversations between student employees or their supervisors inluding the Office of the Ombudsperson and Office of Civil Rights and Title IX Compliance (formerly the Office of Equity).
