How should I go about filling out employment forms?
Visit the Harvard Student Resources office, located
at 67 Mount Auburn Street.
You will be asked to provide two forms of identification (get in touch with us for details).
Then you will need to complete three government
forms
(W-4,
I-9, and M-4),
which can be downloaded and filled out in advance. Finally, you will need to complete an additional form to set up
direct deposit payments to your bank account, so please bring a voided check with you.
Should the employer pay me directly?
The employer should not pay you directly for your work, although he or she may give
you a tip. Please note that we cannot bill tips; the employer must tip you directly at the time of service.
What experience is necessary for bartending job openings?
Bartending jobs require that you be knowledgable about and confident
with tending a full bar. Jobs that mention TIPS certification require
you to have completed an approved TIPS training
program such as the Harvard
Bartending Course. Generally, the Harvard Bartending Course is highly recommended
as an introduction to the important skills needed for bartending.
What should I bring to work?
Normally, you should not need to bring anything to work. The
employer will provide any supplies that you will need. For some bartending
jobs we can provide you with a bartending kit, should the employer request it.
What should I wear to work?
For most jobs, you should wear standard business attire: a shirt
and tie for men and a skirt or slacks and a blouse for women. For bartending
jobs, you should wear a black bottom and a white top unless otherwise stated.
For moving jobs or outdoor work, wear comfortable clothes that
can get damaged.
What if I can no longer work a certain job?
When you sign up for a job opening, you enter into a contract to complete the
work requested at the agreed time and place. If you cannot work at the time you originally
scheduled, you must find another student to replace you. If you
are unable to find someone to replace you, please get in touch with us.
Does Harvard Student Resources carry employment insurance?
Yes, HSR carries insurance to cover its employees.
How will I be paid?
You will be paid by HSR via direct deposit to your bank account.
You will set up direct deposit payments after you complete your
employment eligibility verification forms at the HSR office.
