The Independent Contractor (IC) Policy has been revised with an effective date of 7/1/19.
The updated version has streamlined the questionnaire and provides guidance and clarification on roles and responsibilities and when and how to classify an individual as an employee or independent contractor.
Expanded training materials have also been created to help hiring departments, Human Resources and Finance Offices property classify and pay these individuals.
This 90-minute session will give an overview of the policy as well as explore in more detail roles and responsibilities for those:
- In the hiring department or unit;
- In Human Resources who review the IC Questionnaire and classify the worker; and
- Processing and approving the contractor payments
Hiring departments or units, Human Resources, as well as financial approvers should attend this session; though others are welcome.
