About the Course
Should an individual be paid as an employee or as an Independent Contractor? This is a question departments often find themselves asking. Accounts Payable and Corporate Payroll Services have partnered with Human Resources and Legal to design a process and tools to assist departments in making this determination. During this session participants will explore the history of this determination at Duke, current IRS and Duke compliance requirements, and the risks associated with an incorrect determination. Session facilitators will discuss tools that are available to departments when making this determination and available options if it is determined that an individual should be paid as an employee. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions about the Independent Contractor Checklist and learn how to best apply this tool.
