Effective Thursday, October 2, updates will be made to the Supplier Invoice Request and Miscellaneous Payment Request processes to ensure proper classification and review of independent contractor relationships with the university.
Supplier Invoice Requests - The HCM Supplier Approver will now be included as a review step earlier in the workflow for Supplier Invoice Requests. Routing will occur for requests where a supplier is considered an Independent Contractor, Individual, LLC Partnership, or Sole Proprietor where the SIR utilizes eligible service spend categories.
Miscellaneous Payment Requests - Miscellaneous Payment Requests for Honorariums, Employee Assistance, and Stipends will now be routed to the HCM Supplier Approver for review and validation.
The Independent Contractor Guidelines on Purchasing’s website has information about how to evaluate an independent contractor as well as the necessary forms associated with this type of relationship. Please review the required documentation to avoid any delays in your request.
