New Policy and Guidance
A standardized process provides current non-employee/IC payment guidelines for campus-wide adoption.

• 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
• Review APS/PBS form use (university employees)
  
  

Use a VP2 to process payment after work is completed.
