No Private Contracting
You may not contract privately with employers while enrolled at Harvard University. Violation of this policy will result in your immediate dismissal, monetary penalties, and possible University-imposed disciplinary measures.

Two-Tiered Wage Schedule
Our two-tiered wage schedule rewards you for satisfying employers. For the first twenty hours that you work for one of our employers, you will be paid a starter hourly wage. After your first twenty hours of work, your hourly wage will increase. Please note your eligibility for increased wages on your time sheet. Your hourly wage may be reduced after cases of employer dissatisfaction and will be increased again at the discretion of the HSR staff.

Minimum Job Placement
For catering service, jobs must be billed for a minimum of four hours per student. For all other services, jobs must be billed for a minimum of two hours per student. Jobs less than the minimum hourly length will be billed for the applicable minimum. Only if the job requires regular attendance can each instance of work be billed for less than the hourly minimum.

Transportation Time and Expenses
You will be reimbursed for any transporation expenses you incur while completing your job. This includes MBTA fares, taxi fares, or $0.25 per mile driven in your own car. In order for you to be reimbursed, the employer must approve the mode of transportation you use and note the expense on your time sheet. You will also be reimbursed for time spent traveling to and from the job location if you spend more than one hour traveling.

Billing and Cancellation
You must bring a time sheet with you to every job. After completing a job, ask the employer to enter the total number of hours you worked and sign the time sheet. Give the blue copy to the employer and keep the pink copy for your records. If the employer cancels your job after you have confirmed it with him or her, please get in touch with us. 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 immediately.
