Student vs Grad
The following is meant to help distinguish a Student Employee appointment from a Grad appointment ."Grad Assistant-Student" is no longer an appropriate title.  In legacy systems it was used to distinguish a Student Employee (SA) job held by someone with a Grad Assistantship (GA).  However, Banner allows a mix of employee-group jobs, so the title of each job should be distinctive to the e-class.

• Undergraduates
• Graduate students doing Student Employee work (may be paid at higher rate with Student Employment approval)

Hourly Group(HG)

• Graduate students doing Graduate level work being paid by the hour

Grad Group(GA)

• Grad Assistantships with percent appointments
• May have additional appointment as Grad student defined under Hourly.
• May have additonal appointment as Student employee.
  
  The type of work being done is the defining qualifier. Appointments for Student Employment work need to be routed to the Student Employment Director.
