Important Notes:

  • If you’re hiring a student that’s currently enrolled in courses, and they are not an existing benefit eligible employee, it’s recommended that you hire them as a student employee rather than a temporary employee. Student employees are exempt from FICA deductions and are able to work up to 40 hours a week in the summer.

  • Read through the pre-hire and required information below before initiating any hire request in Bronco Hub. 

  • For support with questions about hiring non benefit eligible employees, please email hrprocessor@boisestate.edu or call (208) 426-1616.

  • As a best practice, coordinate with your Department Recruiting Coordinator (or DRC) before hiring an employee. If you are not sure who your DRC is, please contact the business manager in your department’s (or Dean’s/VP’s) office for guidance on who you should be coordinating with on your hire/rehire. If you are new to the Bronco Hub hiring process, check out these HR training slides for helpful information.

Per Policy 7005: Background Verifications, NO EMPLOYEE CAN BEGIN WORKING at Boise State University without successfully passing a university-initiated background check.
