Approval of Independent Contractors
All Independent Contractors must be approved by Financial Services Directorate. The approval will be valid for all work done by the Independent Contractor for the period of the Independent Contractor’s insurance policies or a period of three years, whichever is appropriate.
The Contracts Officer can advise if an Independent Contractor has Financial Services Directorate approval.
The approval process is outlined in the Financial Services Directorate Independent Contractor Guidelines and associated Independent Contractor Checklist and Payroll Tax Assessment Form.
The Contracts Officer can advise the project officer about the Guidelines and assist with the completion of the Checklist and Form.
The project officer should read the Guidelines, complete the Checklist and Form, have their Head of School sign the Checklist and Form and then send them to Director, Financial Services Directorate.
Once approval has been obtained by Financial Services Directorate, the project officer should contact the Contracts Officer to draft an Independent Contractor Agreement.
