In addition to the information listed above, new employees will receive notification on the following:

  • Computer/Email access – once your employment is set up with Human Resources, your hiring department will send notification to IT (if required). Check your personal email for log in access.
  • Parking Hang Tag - if you are bringing a vehicle to campus, register and go online to pay for your reserved hang tag. Contact MSU Payroll if you plan on setting up a payroll deduction.    
  • MSU Mandatory Employee Training -  State Law (Chapter 21, Section 21 Texas Labor Code) requires all state employees be trained within 30 days of their start date and every two years after on EEO, Ethics, Sexual Harassment, Child Protection, and the Campus SaVE Act.
    These policies and trainings define your rights and duties as an employee. It also covers the state and federal laws that support them. 

Part time employees cannot work more than 19 hours a week.  Part time employees authorized by the hiring department to work over 19, must be limited to 29 hours per week and only for 60 days.  Beyond the 60 day window, per ACA, employment of 30+ hours per week leads to possible insurance eligibility with a full state contribution.  Upon an audit, there may be penalties of $2000 per employee in violation. Temporary employment of over 20 per week for more than 4.5 months will make the employee TRS eligible.  View the summary on work hours document to view work hour limit guidelines.
