HR Updates
As a result of the Safer at Home orders issued by the state of California, Los Angeles County, and the City of Los Angeles on March 19, Human Resources has updated previously issued important payroll guidance. Previously, HR announced that there would be one last distribution of paper checks on Friday, March 27. This option has been canceled and there will be no distribution of paper checks from this date forward.

HR will make every effort to get paper checks to those not yet signed up for direct deposit. Faculty, staff and student employees should:

Student Employment Update for Student Supervisors
The university has decided to suspend all student employment to facilitate social distancing and community well-being. Undergraduate and graduate student employees are not to report to their on-campus employer for the remainder of the spring semester.

Student Employment Services (SES) shares the following important updates below. To read the full update, visit the SES website. For specific questions and consultation, contact SES at ses@lmu.edu.

March 27, 2020 Payment – All undergraduate and graduate student employees will be paid on March 27, 2020. Student employees must have an active Student Employment Authorization (SEA) to receive this paycheck and will be paid regardless of their SEA award balance. This paycheck will be a duplicate of the March 13, 2020 paycheck, which reflects hours worked February 23 – March 7, 2020.

  • If supervisors believe the hours worked February 23 – March 7 do not adequately reflect the average number of hours per pay period for their student employee, complete the Student Employment Adjustment Form by Friday, March 27, 2020, at 5 p.m.
  • If your student employee’s SEA award was exhausted before or on March 27, 2020, they will no longer receive any paychecks. If the department intended to continue paying the student employee after their SEA award was exhausted, supervisors must complete the Student Employment Adjustment Form by Friday, March 27, 2020, at 5 p.m.
  • ONLY SUPERVISORS may submit a Student Employment Adjustment Form.

Additional Payment - After the March 27, 2020, paycheck, student employees with SEA balances will receive a lump sum payment on April 8, 2020, to absolve their remaining earnings. The lump-sum payment will be calculated using the March 13 paycheck hours, multiplied by 4 (the number of pay periods remaining in the semester). However, the lump sum payment will not exceed the SEA award amount.

Dining Operating Hours (March 23 – 29) 

  • C-Store Malone: 8 – 11 a.m.
  • The Lair: 11 a.m.– 1 p.m.; 5 -7 p.m.

Cancelation of all LMU Summer 2020 Programs that Involve International and Domestic Travel
Given the uncertainty around the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, LMU will be canceling all summer 2020 programs that involve international and domestic travel. This includes:

  • Summer programs and faculty-led courses offered through LMU Study Abroad.
  • Graduate and undergraduate summer programs offered by colleges and schools that involve international and domestic travel.
  • Summer programs and delegations offered by departments/offices/units that involve international and domestic travel.

LMU Study Abroad will be working with students in the coming weeks to refund program fees that may have already been paid and to identify potential summer course alternatives where possible. All other programs will be in contact with participants with additional information and next steps.
