Most Ask-JGI student contracts are handled by the University of Bristol's [Temporary Staffing Service (TSS)](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/temporary-staffing/).

- Will be based in the UK for the duration of the contract.
- Do not hold any other employment contracts at the University of Bristol.

Assuming the above criteria are fulfilled, a [Casual, Academic and Guest request](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/temporary-staffing/cag/managers/request/) should be made by the JGI Manager.
Assuming the above criteria are fulfilled, a [Casual, Academic and Guest request](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/temporary-staffing/cag/managers/request/) should be made by the JGI admin team.
This must be sent to TSS **at least 3 weeks** prior to the commencement of Ask-JGI activities.

To claim payment each month, students will need to send a completed time sheet to the JGI Manager, who will enter their hours on MyERP.
To claim payment each month, students will need to ensure that their timesheet (a shared Excel spreadsheet) is up to date before the end of each month.
A member of the JGI admin team shoul send a reminder in the Microsoft Teams channel with the exact deadline each month.
After checking the hours, a JGI admin team member will then submit the total hours using a MyERP timesheet.

There are some cases where the above criteria do not apply (see below subsections).

#### Student already employed through UoB HR
## Student already employed through UoB HR

In cases where a student is already a staff member at the University, a payment route has already been set up through HR. This means that hours worked on Ask-JGI must be claimed by the student through MyERP using a **Staff Fee Claim** form.

The student will require a budget code and hourly rate (excluding holiday pay as annual leave benefits are already included as part of their main contract) from the Ask-JGI manager.

#### Student based internationally
## Student based remotely, including internationally

In cases where a student is going to be based overseas for part or the duration of their contract a special exception should be sought through the [International Mobility Office](http://www.bristol.ac.uk/hr/policies/international-mobility/). Provided that the International Mobility team are able to approve the circumstances a TSS contract ought to be able to be drawn up for a duration of 6 months (maximum for overseas-based workers).
```{important}
We expect most students to be physically based in Bristol and be available to attend in-person meetings during their time as part of the Ask-JGI team.
```

In cases where a student is going to be based away from Bristol for part of their contract, they should check this first with the Ask-JGI manager.
Where they will be oversea, then a special exception must also be sought through the [International Mobility Office](http://www.bristol.ac.uk/hr/policies/international-mobility/).
