CONTRACTUAL SERVICES REQUEST FORM - The "Contractual Services Payment Request Form" is utilized to reimburse non-university professional individuals for services rendered to the University that qualify to be classified as an Independent Contractor. This determination should be made prior to contracting the services of a recipient. The Internal Revenue Service has identified twenty factors that indicate whether sufficient control is present to establish an employer-employee relationship. The degree of importance given to each factor varies depending on the occupation and the context in which the services are performed. If it is not clear that the recipient meets the criteria to be classified as an Independent Contractor, the person contracting the services of the recipient needs to review "The IRS's 20 Factors used to determine Employment status".
It is not permissible to contract with State or University employees. Exceptions are county employees, employees in the public school system, employees of institutions in the community college system, student employees and employees functioning as research study and simulated patients in the Human Performance Lab, etc.
If you have questions regarding initiating a contract, call the Contracts Manager in Materials Management at 328-6434. If you have questions regarding the classification of the recipient as either an employee or an independent contractor, contact the Director, Classification and Compensation (telephone at 328-6187 or e-mail at pollardp).
SPECIAL PAYMENT REQUEST (FORM P-80) - Only EPA and non-university employees are eligible. These are primarily used for Grant Directorship, Grant related projects, Special Event and Summer Camp. The purpose of this form is to employ individuals for an extremely short term. In most cases this will be for a one time event such as a camp, sporting event, or a one day entertainment event.
The P-80 can also be used to pay supplemental income to individuals employed by ECU provided the action is outside their normal employment assignment and meets the short term employment requirements given above. Example: It may be used to pay a 9.0 month contract employee for services performed after graduation and before faculty convocation in August, not related to summer school. Nine month faculty members cannot be paid more than 1/9 per month of their annual salary per month outside the contract period defined above, and in no case more than 3/9 additional. Any 9 or 12 month faculty who provides approved services for additional compensation within their contract period are paid by P-21 - One time Payment.
Calculation for summer salaries will be based on the following information and formula (taken from the Business Manual Section: GCA, Part: Policy, Statement: 12, Page: 1 of 1, Effective Date: 2/28/92):
- Academic year consists of nine months or thirty-six weeks.
- One month consists of four five day weeks.
- One full month's salary is computed at the rate of 1/9 of the academic salary.
- One, two, or three weeks will be computed at the rate of 25%, 50%, 75% respectively of 1/9 of the salary.
- Less than a full week will be computed with the number of days over five x 1/4 x 1/9.
- Request for payment should show the dates of the work schedule.
The original form is submitted to the Information Processing Unit in Human Resources (only after required signatures are obtained by department head, divisional Vice Chancellor and University Budget Officer/Grants Administration) and a copy of the form is returned to the requesting department. The requesting department submits the copy of the P-80 form and completed TX form to Payroll for payment. For additional information or questions, please call the Information Processing Unit in Human Resources at 328-6352.
