Process for Independent Contractor

September 2021

Step 1:  Complete the protected excel worksheet (enable content). The determination status will either be (IC or EE) independent contractor or an employee.

Step 2: If the worker is an employee, HR needs new hire information completed and it is assumed the worker will be an auxiliary temporary employee who works less than 20 hours a week otherwise the budget manager/organization paying for the services will need to pay TRS and other benefits to the employee.  The new hire submission must include the Independent Contractor excel worker status (IC or EE) verification sheet.

Step 3:  If the worker is an employee, written pay vouchers need to be submitted to payroll.  LUMP SUM amounts will not be accepted on auxiliary temporary employees.  The amount of hours worked and rate per hour must be listed on the pay voucher.

Step 4 Independent Contractor:  If the contractor has never worked for the district, complete the entire packet for new independent contractor. The protected excel worker status (IC or EE) verification sheet must be attached to the independent contractor form.

Step 5 Independent Contractor:  If the contractor is returning, submit the "one" page "returning" contractor form.  The protected excel worker status (IC or EE) verification sheet must be attached to the independent contractor form.
