Work-on-Campus Scheme

The Work-on-Campus Scheme provides work opportunities for PolyU students to work as part-time student assistants on campus. PolyU departments/offices that are interested in recruiting student assistants please submit the Job Request Form on PolyU Job Board.

How does it work?

For Hiring Departments/Offices

• To publicise job opportunities, submit the Job Request Form. CPS will place the job advertisements on PolyU Job Board and in our Weekly Reminder emails to students. A minimum of two weeks’ advance notice is required.
• Applications will be sent to the hiring departments/offices directly so that they can contact applicants for interview arrangements.
• When the selections are confirmed, the hiring departments/offices coordinate with the Human Resources Office (HRO) and arrange for appointment letters to be sent to the successful applicants. A timesheet of work record is required by the hiring departments/offices for monthly payroll calculations by the Finance Office (FO).
• We highly encourage that the hiring departments/offices 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, login to PolyU Job Board > “Find a Job”> “Job Type” > “Work-on-Campus Scheme by CPS”.
• Complete the Application Form and submit it to the hiring departments/offices directly.
• Make a good preparation for the job requirements as listed by the hiring department/office and attend the interview.
• If the hiring department/office offers you the job, you have to confirm with it, along with the work schedules and appointment documents.
• We do not recommend you work for more than 18 hours 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.
