Employment requirements

You cannot work at the University unless you have one of the following:

  • NZ or Australian citizenship
  • NZ or Australian permanent residency
  • A current student or work visa that allows you to work in NZ

AND

  • An IRD number

If you don't have an IRD number you must apply for one, which can take a few weeks to process.

Step by step guide to casual and demonstrator employment

  1. You are offered a position by the Geology Administrator for demonstrating (or by another staff member for other jobs)
  2. The Geology Administrator will create a job contract in Casper (note: separate jobs are required for 100 level vs. 200/300 as the pay is different)
  3. Accept the job in Casper (you will get an email notification)
  4. More steps are required in Casper that you must complete within one week or you will have to start the process over again

Other things you should know

  • Please make sure you have a contract prior to starting your job
  • Time period for processing contracts is 1 week and requires that you do things. No contract = no pay
  • There is generally no pay for preparation time for labs. The exception is the 100 level demonstrating meeting or occasionally setting up a lab under the direction of a staff member.
  • In order to demonstrate during field trips you must hold a current first aid certificate. We will provide access to first aid and disclosure training.
