Internships

The Department of Pathology offers a variety of educational opportunities and community outreach efforts to support education, learning, and community involvement. If you are considering providing an opportunity for a student intern/trainee, please contact HR in advance of any individual starting an internship.

The facts and circumstances of each situation must be reviewed to determine the appropriate status or, in the case of student placement, whether or not an internship is feasible. There are also special concerns related to this group regarding liability that has been carefully considered in creating these guidelines. 

Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) 

The Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) involves students from Cristo Rey Jesuit High School working one day per week at partner organizations, such as Stanford University, to fund half their tuition and gain relevant and meaningful work skills training. While working in entry-level positions, students acquire desirable job experience and marketable skills and also graduate high school with an impressive resume and exposure to a wide variety of careers. In turn, CWSP helps address workforce development challenges most companies face by developing minority candidates with the social and technical skills to perform the jobs of the future. 

CWSP internships start on August 25 and run through the end of May 31 the following year.

More information about the CWSP can be found here. If you are interested in an intern from the CWSP, please contact Jordone Shane-Sánchez at jordone@stanford.edu.

Criteria for Internships:

• Training is for the benefit of the intern, not the university
• Stanford gains no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern
• Intern does not displace regular, temporary, or casual employees
• Intern is not entitled to a job when the assignment is concluded
• Intern understands he/she is not entitled to wages for time spent in training
  
  

For more information on the criteria for unpaid internships or to start the process, please contact Karla Rodriguez at karlarq@stanford.edu.

Each year Stanford University suspends operations, where feasible, during the winter holiday season as outlined in the Administrative Guide 2.1.13. The dates for Winter Closure 2024 will be announced in the Spring.

During Winter Closure, each employee will need to submit a combination of personal accruals (vacation, PTO, floating holiday), Additional Days Off, and Holiday hours (if non-exempt). If you do not have enough accruals to cover the time, you can “borrow” from your 2025 accruals and submit the time on your timecard.

If your area requires employees to work during the closure, supervisors must send the request to Rachel Cowan for DFA approval.

Please note the following items related to the different pay groups:

• Non-Exempt Staff
  All non-exempt staff will use the Additional Day Off – AOH time reporting code for the University provided additional days off. Full-time non-exempt regular employees receive time and one-half pay for the hours worked on the holiday and either another day off with regular pay in the same pay period, or, when time off cannot be provided, eight hours of extra pay (including shift premium, if applicable).
• Exempt Staff
  All exempt staff will use the Additional Day Off – ADO time reporting code for the University provided additional days off. Full-time and part-time exempt salaried employees may receive partial or full compensatory time off when authorized by the supervisor as appropriate for the operational circumstances.
• Part-Time Benefitted Staff
  If a part-time benefits-eligible employee does not regularly work on a day that is considered a university holiday, then the supervisor must identify an alternative day in the same workweek to allow the employee to use as their University holiday. For example, if an employee's schedule is Monday, Wednesday and Friday for this week, the employee could take either Monday or Wednesday as a holiday (replacing Thursday) so that they receive credit for both days of holiday pay.
  
  Part-time non-exempt regular employees receive time and one-half pay for the hours worked on the holiday and either time off with pay for the same number of hours within the pay period, or, when time off cannot be provided, extra pay for this number of hours.
• Temporary, Casual, and Student Workers
  Temporary or casual employees, including student employees, receive the established straight-time rate of pay for the time worked or the overtime rate if any time actually worked exceeded eight hours in a day or 40 hours in a work week. These employees do not receive holiday pay or vacation accruals to utilize during winter closure.

Stanford Travel Program

Per the Administrative Guide Policy 5.4.2: Business and Travel Expenses, to be reimbursed for university-sponsored travel, faculty, staff, postdoctoral scholars and students must use Stanford Travel when booking airfare, hotels or car rentals (with limited exemptions). Complete policy details are available in the Business and Travel Expense Policies overview.

Stanford Travel comprises booking channels that, within them, feature over 50 travel partners, who provide airline, lodging and ground transportation booking services under negotiated rates and terms. Each channel offers various benefits that are described below. Stanford faculty, staff, postdoctoral scholars and students are free to choose any channel to book university-sponsored travel. All channels are integrated with ISOS, which provides traveler assistance in the event of an emergency.

Travel During COVID:

Given uncertainty surrounding the Omicron COVID variant, Stanford recommends that individuals contemplating travel during the winter quarter as part of university programs or group travel defer making firm financial commitments until further notice. Undergraduate students, however, continue to be guided by the travel policy.

• We may initiate background checks only after we make a written conditional offer of employment

Salary History (AB168)

• Job applications no longer include questions requesting an applicant’s salary history
• We can no longer ask about an applicant’s salary history
• We cannot rely on salary history when determining whether to offer employment or what salary to offer (unless voluntarily provided)
• If an applicant voluntarily discloses salary history without prompting, we may consider that information to determine the salary for that applicant along with other factors in setting salary offer
• Upon request, we must provide the pay scale for the position to which an applicant applied

Pay Transparency (Senate Bill 1162)

Employers with more than 15 employees will be required to include a reasonable pay range on every job posting. Employees are also entitled to request and receive the pay range for their current position.

A workplace accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a job, the work environment, or the way in which a job is usually done that enables an individual with a disability, who is otherwise qualified to perform a job, to attain the same level of performance and to enjoy the same benefits and privileges of employment. Examples of workplace accommodations include ergonomic equipment and/or modification to a workstation, use of assistive technology, use of auxiliary aides and/or services, leave, modifications to work schedule, etc. If you wish to request a workplace accommodation, you are responsible for beginning the process by requesting an accommodation from your immediate supervisor and Pathology HR. The Diversity and Access Office is also a resource for information on these matters. These requests should be made in writing and should include the following information:

1. Description of requested workplace accommodation;
2. Brief explanation of how the requested workplace accommodation will enable you to perform your job; and
3. Physical or mental condition and its duration.
