No. As an employee/employer has already been established, all payments made to faculty or staff must be made through the payroll system.
No, only employees, that are charges to any of the Salary and Wage budget categories, get assessed fringe benefits.
Research Foundation policy precludes us from paying for services before they are rendered. However, you can arrange with SPO Purchasing to process the payment before the services are rendered and give to you in advance of the services being performed. You can then pay the consultant/lecturer at the end of the day when the services have been concluded.
Payments to independent contractors on a regular basis (such as biweekly or monthly) are discouraged because true incidental consultant services tend to be event driven. Setting up payment schedules, especially on a regular basis tend to make the relationship appear to be more like that of an employee. It is appropriate however, to set up monthly payment schedules as part of a formal subcontract or independent contractor agreement.
