Work study question..

[Koenigsegg]

With the given wage offered as a part of work study, is your "pay" taxed like you would be at a normal job?

 

[astralusion]

yes, it is still taxed

 

[Koenigsegg]

What advantage is it to do work study instead of regular work? Are the wages slightly higher when it's applied?

The "advantage" would be it's on campus, i.e. easy for college students to get to work. Another would be that with a work study job, you're sure to be able to schedule work hours around class time, as well as have an employer that's sympathetic to you as a student.

okay the advantage is that the government pays 75% or the school pays 50% of your wage...which means the employer has to pay less, which means you're more likely to get a school job as opposed to someone with out w/s also some schools will let you use your work study doing community service...for instance i can get 12.50 an hour tutoring kids, in a program that's volunteer

I hope that's the car you WANT and not the car you HAVE; otherwise I will hunt you down and mushroom stamp you for even talking about work study. Thanks

not necessarily. some schools do tax. others do not. my school, for example, did not withhold taxes.
