Consultants
Service
An independent contractor is an individual engaged by the university
to perform a specific function or task and who is free to perform
this function or task completely at the individual's own discretion
with regard to means and methods. No taxes are required to be withheld
or paid on compensation disbursed. The existence of an agreement
or contract helps support the independent contractor position. This
document should be fairly specific in what is to be provided and
amount or lack of control the university/agency has over the individual.
An employee is an individual who performs a service for the University
and is working under the direction and control of the university
or its employees. Direction and control can be implied to exist
when the employer has the right to control both the results as well
as the means and methods of the worker.
The Employee/Independent Contractor Classification Checklist is
to be used to provide evidence that an individual is properly classified
as an independent contractor or employee. The Texas A&M University
System Office of Budget & Accounting web site has provided additional
guidance in this area.
