Officials set guidelines for pavrolls
Guidelines for determining on which payroll to place students who are also KU employees were recently developed by University officials.
The guidelines state that a person who is a student first and incidentally an employee should be put on a student payroll, Martin Jones, associate director of business affairs, said yesterday.
THE POLICY WAS developed after a department put an employee who should have been on a student payroll on a non-student payroll, Sherry Kopf, an administrator in the comptroller's office. said.
But, he said, a person employed by the University full time or 80 percent of the time on who takes a few classes on the on a classified or unclassified payroll.
The student had been a full-time employee, but decided to work fewer hours and concentrate on working toward a degree, she said. The department failed to shift the employee to a student payroll.
The payroll office caught the mistake and shifted the employee to the student payroll.
Placing a student on a non-student payroll could cost a department more money. Kopf said, because social charges are not on student navrills.
For this reason, departments that intended to abuse the payroll system usually put a non-student on a student payroll.
"We rarely have a student put on a non-student payroll." she said.
A DEPARTMENT MIGHT knowingly leave an employee on a non-student payroll as a favor to the employee, Kopf said. The student would then continue to receive benefits such as paycheck payments on employees on a student payroll do not get.

Better Business Bureau to investigate Students doubt job
Student inquiries to the American Student Foundation's foreign summer job program prompted the Colorado Springs, Colo. Better Business Bureau last Tuesday to send a letter requesting information about the foundation. Inquiries Officer Lois Rauh said recently.
one foundation, based in Colorado Springs, sent students a letter last week offering a summer work program in Europe and cheap air fare there.
"We've received about 20 calls from students as far away as New York and close as Wyoming," Rahu said.
THE FOUNDATION'S LETTER offers a full and partial payment plan and guarantees students a salary at or less $150 for 40 hours of work a week. It also provides a work program and take advantage of the low air fare only, the letter said.
The students made no allegations against the foundation, but requested reliability reports about it, she said. She and the staff have contacted the bureau, she said.
The foundation is not listed in the 1981 edition of the Encyclopedia of Associations, a reference book containing names of national organizations. David Woodworth Summer Jobs April 1982, 1982; organization offering foreign summer students does not include the foundation in its list.
The foundation has a post office box number address and no listed telephone number, Rauh said.
Three or four KU students contacted the KU office of study abroad late last week to ask if the office had heard of the foundation, Mary Ryan, assistant

director of the office of study abroad, said Friday.
Ryan said that she had never heard of the foundation, which she said should not be confused with the American Field Service, one of the oldest international foreign exchange programs for high school students.
According to the letter, sent in a white envelope with a bulk rate postage stamp and no return address, the foundation will arrange summer work for students in Great Britain, Germany, France or Spain. Students may choose to work they prefer, including agriculture, sales, restaurant or manufacturing.
The foundation has obtained charter rates to fly students to those countries, the letter says. According to the foundation's price list for one-way fares, a student can fly from New York to Frankfurt, Germany, for $215.
The same flight on Trans World Airlines for the third week of May would cost $749, a TWA reservation clerk said.
"I if could afford it, it might be fun." Laurie Forck, Kansas City, Kan. junior, and a recipient of the letter, said.
JIMM McCROSSEN, Ottawa sophomore, who also照顾 the foundation's letter, said, "I thought it sounded like a good deal, but I did wonder why you could have the low air pressure taking part in the job program."
Students may pay the full amount for their air fare now and receive a 10 percent discount off the total fare, the letter said, or they can pay half their

mgm cost now and pay the other half when they receive their flight confirmation.
An additional $25 is added for those interested in the work program to cover work permit fees and administrative costs, the letter states.
The letter urges applicants to reply as soon as possible to receive the best flight and job preference. The deadline for applications is April 20, 1982.
IN THE LETTER, students are encouraged to tell others about the
"We have enclosed application forms which can be Xeroxed for additional comics," the letter reads.
Ryan said that the American Student Foundation's letter, which contains many spelling errors, is missing some important information.
"There is no person to contact, no logo, no address and no telephone number," she said.

"The guaranteed salary of at least $150 per week is higher than any foreign work program I am aware of."
Often, she said, payment for work is in the form of room and board.
Rauh said the form letter sent to the foundation requested the foundation's name, telephone number, address and number of years in business. The foundation then has 14 days to respond to the bureau send another letter, she said.
