The Harvard International Office (HIO) is a great resource for all questions related to employment as an international student. Here are links to some of the most frequently asked questions:

- Detailed information about On-Campus Employment for international students can be found [here](https://www.hio.harvard.edu/campus-employment) on the HIO website.
- Taxes & Social security number:
    
    All employees in the U.S. must have a Social Security Number to work. If an international student does not already have a SSN, a temporary number may be used for hiring purposes while the student is in the process of applying for a permanent SSN. Visit the HIO's page on [Social Security Numbers](https://www.hio.harvard.edu/social-security-numbers) for more details on the application process.
    
    Once a permanent SSN is obtained, students must update my.Harvard with their SSN as well as their [Sprintax account](https://calculus.sprintax.com/).
