Increasing Student Wage Rates

    You may initiate longevity/merit increases for students who have earned them by policy or by continuous service based upon your department's policy and budgetary constraints.  Decisions regarding the issuance of such increases remain with the issuing department.  Increases are, however, limited to 5¢ increments with a maximum of 25¢ and restricted to only once per student per semester.
