How many hours can a student employee work in the summer?
How many hours can a student employee work in the summer?

Students may work full-time over the summer. The Federal Work Study program does not allow students to receive holiday pay on federal holidays (see Important CWSP Program Dates).

Important: FWS students are not eligible for FWS on federal holidays, or for vacation or sick pay. If a student does work on a federal holiday, including remotely, they cannot be paid with work study; the employer would need to pay 100% of the student’s wages for that day.
