Processing Payments to Independent Contractors

Please see Evaluating Independent Contractor vs. Employee Status in the Human Resources section.


Upon completion of work, or as determined by the independent contractor agreement, an original invoice should be submitted to the SRA grant specialist for approval and then forwarded to accounts payable for processing.


Note: Only individuals, sole proprietors and partnerships should complete an Independent Contractor form. Corporations are not considered independent contractors.
