If you plan to hire any individual for services rendered during your Urban Program you must determine whether that individual is categorized as a temporary employee or independent contractor.
This form must be completed and sent to the Legal department BEFORE making a commitment to an individual to be paid as an independent contractor because Legal may well conclude that the individual should actually be classified as an employee.
Note: The default classification of workers is "Employee," not "Independent Contractor." Generally, a person can only be classified as an Independent Contractor if they own their own business in the field in which you're hiring them.
If the individual must be hired as a Temporary Employee, hire them by following the hiring procedures.
If you hire someone as a temporary employee for your project, you must also terminate their employment at the end of the project.
No advance money may be used to hire anyone for ongoing services.
