Hiring Process

To be completed by all student employees each academic year:

Step 1: The supervisor and the employee must complete the School of Law Employment Confirmation Form and attached New York State Notice and Acknowledgement of Wage Rate form.

Step 2: All students must register with the New York University Wasserman Center for Career Development and obtain an On-Campus Student Employment Application approved by the Wasserman Center. The On-Campus Student Employment Application is submitted and approved online*.  To access the Application, click the Wasserman Registration link available on the Albert Student homepage.

  • *First time hires and students who have not worked in the past three years must also visit the Wasserman Center, at 133 East 13th Street, 2nd Floor, (212) 998-4730, to complete an I-9 form (Employment Eligibility form) and a W-4 form (Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate). Each employee will be required to provide acceptable documentation for the I-9, that proves identity and eligibility to work in the United States.
