Please contact payroll@solent.ac.uk 

You are not entitled to company sick pay but you may be entitled to statutory sick pay dependant on your previous earnings at the University.

To be eligible for statutory sick pay (SSP) you must be sick for four calendar days or more and have average weekly earnings of £120 in the two pay periods prior to your period of sickness. If eligible, you will receive £13.69 SSP per day from day four of your sickness (£95.85 per week). For further details please contact a member of the payroll team.

In order to determine this, you must enter details of your sickness on MyView, for all CALENDAR days you were absent. If you are sick for more than seven calendar days you must obtain a fit note from you GP. Please contact your line manager for instruction on how to send this securely and confidentially to the payroll department at Solent.

I need to take some holiday, how do I do this?

Please liaise with your Manager to let them know when you will be unable to work in your Campus Jobs role. Please note you are not paid to work for Campus Jobs if you are on holiday. You do not need to log this anywhere and you should not claim hours on VT if you are on leave.

You accrue holiday in your post and this is paid in the December, April and July pay.

1. Candidates must be current students who are based at the Southampton campus. Students who have suspended their studies are not eligible.
2. Final year students are able to register for Campus Jobs. However, all final year students (undergraduate or postgraduate students) must finish their Campus Job role within 3 months of their course finishing as they are no longer a student of the University. Students who are not already working in a campus job cannot apply for a Campus Job if they would be starting the role after their course finishes and if the duration of the role would extend past the 3 month deadline.
3. If they are a Masters’ student they are able to work for Campus Jobs until the end of the November when their course finishes.
4. Students on apprenticeship courses are eligible to work for Campus Jobs.
5. If they are a member of Solent University staff but also studying at the University they are not eligible to work for Campus Jobs.
6. If they work for Solent Students’ Union and are studying alongside their job they are eligible to work as a Campus Job student.
7. Students on student visas have a restricted number of hours they can work. 

Please email payroll@solent.ac.uk who will be able to provide your employer with the dates that you worked. You may want to ask your supervisor if they will write you a reference for your LinkedIn profile after you have completed your Campus Jobs role.
