Independent Contractors
Independent contractors are those individuals who do not meet the qualifications of an employee, but who provide a service to the university. These include individuals like a guest speaker, performer, clerical worker, or a consultant. Individuals must meet the requirements of the status test (see below in forms). Please review the Independent Contractors Basics and the Hiring of Nonresidents below for instructions. Nonresident status applies to nonresidents of California and/or the U.S.A.
