Student Helper Engagement Scheme
Introduction
The purpose of the Student Helper Engagement Scheme is to provide opportunities for paid campus work to students, in the form of assisting University academics/administrators in their projects.
It is a short-term casual engagement of full-time students on hourly basis, which should not cause distraction from the primary attention to their studies as students. Recruiting Departments/Units may engage Student Helpers directly. The engagement does not take the form of a formal appointment and is not intended for substantial and long-term employment relationship. Usually, the Student Helpers are to assist academic staff in their research projects or to assist administrative staff in projects which require extra manpower in a casual and non-professional fashion. Engagement of students for professional service should not be arranged through the scheme.
The standard rate of the Student Helpers is HK$64 per hour. Departments / Units may offer different rates based on the merits of the particular engagements, as deemed appropriate.
Student Helper Registration will be suspended from 25 to 31 August 2025 for system updates. Working Hours Record Submission will remain unaffected. To activate your account, please submit your MPF enrolment form to the Payroll and Superannuation Unit or email shespay@cuhk.edu.hk by 24 August 2025. Otherwise, your registration will be cancelled.
