Brown is requiring all employees who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to verify it by uploading their completed vaccination card. In order to maintain 90 percent or greater universal vaccination rates on campus, all newly hired employees must receive the final dose of the COVID-19 vaccine before they begin work, unless they are approved for a medical or religious exemption. Upload your card directly to Workday or email a PDF or JPEG to [email protected].
Brown University offers eligible employees a defined contribution 403(b) retirement plan six months after your employment. The University will contribute 6% of your salary if you make no contributions. In addition, the University will make a dollar for dollar match of up to 2% for a total contribution of 8%. University contributions begin after 6 months of employment. Please contact the Benefits office at [email protected] for more information.
Contact us at [email protected] and tell us the dates that time was not submitted. We will also need to know the type of hours (regular hours, vacation hours, sick hours, etc.) and number of hours for each type. For the majority of missing time instances, it is added to the next open pay period. The determination for whether one receives an on-demand check is based on the Payroll Under and Over Payments policy. In general, if more than half of the person's paycheck was missing, Payroll can issue an on-demand check. Pickup for an on-demand check would be at the Payroll office located at South Street Landing (Payroll will email the times available for pickups).
Employees must work 25 hours per week (66.67% FTE) to be fully benefits eligible. Please reference the eligibility guide here for more information.

During the summer, many departments observe Summer Hours, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with an hour for lunch (35 hours per week); however, staff continue to be paid for 37.5 hours. In departments that observe summer hours, full time, non-exempt staff who work more than 35 hours but less than 37.5 are not provided with additional compensation. Employees working in non-exempt positions are paid additional straight time for hours worked between 37.5 and 40 hours. For more information, please see Exempt and Non-Exempt Employee Pay (40.030).
Brown’s Hire First initiative is to provide career progression opportunities to existing employees. As such all positions are required to be posted internally for 7 days before external recruitment begins. Hiring managers must interview all internal candidates who meet the minimum qualifications of a position. If an internal candidate is not selected for the position, the hiring manager will be responsible for providing feedback to the internal candidate to aid development opportunities. It is best practice to provide this feedback after a phone screen if not advancing to an in-person interview, and after an in-person interview if not selected for the position. Feedback should be provided to the candidate outside of Workday.
Brown continues to support the safety of its employees, as well as to address their needs to care for others affected by the coronavirus.
