Employment
You will be on the payroll of the San Diego State University Research Foundation. To get into the system you will need to go to the Human Resources department and fill out new hire paperwork. HR is located on the 4th floor of the Gateway Center building, at the corner of Hardy Drive and Campanile, and they are open between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Make sure you bring two pieces of identification. One form must be a picture id (drivers license, passport) and the second can be a social security card, birth certificate, etc. Please visit the SDSU Research Foundation HR website, www.foundation.sdsu.edu/hrpage/home/hr_hire_new.html, for a complete list of acceptable documents.
Time Reports
SDSU Research Foundation employees are paid twice a month. The first pay period is from the 1st to the 15th, checks for this period are distributed on the 25th. Employees are paid for the period from the 16th through the end of the month on the 10th of the following month. In the upper right hand corner of the time reports there is a date due back. The time reports will be available at the EMC; you must have them signed by your project leader and turned back into the EMC no later than noon on the due date. Students are only "technically" allowed to work Monday-Friday; if you work on the weekend the time must be reflected during the previous or following week. Please note: You will be limited to the number of hours assigned by the faculty project leader and so will need to keep track of them. Any worked may be considered voluntary.
Supplies and Expenses
Office supplies, computers, printers, duplicating, telephones and long distance codes for on campus calls, and duplicating will be available at the EMC. Only expenses authorized and not available at the EMC or through EMC purchasing will be reimbursed. Original receipts must be provided to the EMC for processing of reimbursements. Purchase orders will be processed by the EMC upon receipt of specific details, possible vendors, and cost estimates needed to prepare the purchase order.
For travel reimbursement, Foundation expects hotel rates to be “reasonable” (about $75/night). The maximum per diem rate is $46 and may be less based on arrival and departure times and meals provided by the event. Injuries incurred while performing grant business may be covered by Workman's Compensation, however, there may be exceptions to qualifying for coverage. For instance, you may be covered if you are injured while traveling to a grant meeting, but only if you left from school.
An expenditure request form must be signed by the appropriate faculty project leader and submitted for all expenses related to a CCAT project. This includes requests for travel, software, conference fees, and other miscellaneous expenses not available at the EMC.

Library Access for Non-students
For those who are not currently students at SDSU, arrangements can be made with the library's Director of Access. You need to complete an "Authorization to use Faculty/Staff ID Card" form (include your social security number and address next to your name). Your faculty project leader will need to sign this form; by doing so the faculty project leader accepts responsibility for any costs associated with you losing or damaging material. The library will treat you as if you were the professor regarding library privileges. Arrangements will only be made if the faculty project leader feels it is appropriate and so may not be made in every case.
