New 'Employees vs. Self-Employed & Independent Contractors' policy

Sent on behalf of Morty Yalovsky, Vice-Principal (Administration and Finance).  Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to circulate the new "Employees vs. Self-Employed & Independent Contractors" policy and guidelines. This document highlights the issues related to determining the status of individuals providing personal services to the University as either employees or independent contractors.  It will principally be applied to new vendor requests and to existing contracts with vendors providing personal services, to ensure that these relationships do not constitute an employer-employee relationship.
