Prior to the student’s first day of employment, the employer submits a stipend agreement which the employer has signed to the D&I Department. The employer can expect a stipend reimbursement within two weeks of submitting a signed timecard showing the hours for which the student worked. The employer is responsible for paying the student’s wages for all hours worked directly to the student.
