Are all student employees required to use CalTime and paid biweekly?

  • Most staff student employees (Student Assistant titles) are non-exempt. They are paid biweekly and report their time in real time — each time they start or stop work — using either computers or CalTime terminals (time clocks), depending on their department’s practices.
  • Students with academic titles (including GSIs, GSAIs, GSRs, readers and tutors) are classified as exempt employees and are paid monthly.
  • Tutors in the Student Learning Center and the Athletic Study Center are paid biweekly pay but do not use CalTime.
