FWS Payroll Schedule

Failure to submit your timesheet by the Timesheet Due date will result in a delay in payment no earlier than the next pay period number.

Pay periods typically end on Saturday. Students who work on Saturday have a one day extension of the published “Timesheet Due” date deadline and must submit the timesheet on the Saturday that they worked at the end of the pay period.

Brooklyn College offers three different Summer academic calendars. A 10-week calendar that is divided into two 5-week sessions, an 8-week calendar for graduate accounting and business students online only, and a 10-week single summer session.

In all cases to be eligible to work in the summer you must be enrolled in any of the summer sessions or the fall semester (for at least 6 credits at the time of placement). However, students who are only enrolled in summer session I and not enrolled in the fall, will not be able to be placed.

Additionally students not enrolled in the summer, but who are enrolled in the fall and are working will have their FWS earnings less income taxes applied as a resources towards their eligibility for financial aid need. As such it is possible that some summer Federal work-study earnings will reduce the amount of other aid a student may otherwise be eligible to receive.

Brooklyn College follows a modified summer schedule. For Summer 2025 the college is closed on Friday from June 9th through August 15th except Friday June 20th.

Students who are working in the summer but not enrolled in the summer will have FICA deductions from their paycheck.

The summer FICA deduction applies to Pay Period 4 (6/29/2025 -7/12/2025) through Pay Period 7 (08/10/25 – 08/23/25).
 
Students are eligible to be ‘exempt’ from FICA deductions if they meet all categories below:
A) Hired under an on-campus job
B) Have only 1 active job
C) Enrolled for half time or more for the summer term.
 
Students will be ‘Subject’ to FICA deductions if they fall into any one or more of the categories below:
A) Hired under an off-campus job
B) Have multiple active jobs
C) Enrolled for less than half time for the summer term.
