Independent Contractor (IC) Overview & Guidelines: http://www.utexas.edu/business/accounting/hbp/12_contractors/contractors2.html.
New Policy and Guidance
A standardized process now provides current non-employee/IC payment guidelines for campus-wide adoption beginning in fiscal year 2018-19. And, these changes are now in effect:
- Eliminating the APS/PBS form (but not for university employees)
- Services will require a purchase order (PO) or business contract (unless exempted from procurement justification process) and an Employee/Independent Contractor Classification Checklist (EICC).
- Non-employee/IC payment process must adhere to current Purchasing and Contract policies
Use a VP2 to process payment after work is completed.
