Exemptions
- For purposes of expedience and efficiency, the Limited Term Academic Engagement Letter can be submitted without completing the Independent Contractor Determination Form for categories of services that occur only one time, or one time per year, for a fee of $5,000 or less for the following circumstances:
- Guest speakers or presenters for an academic course or event
- Jurors/judges for an academic competition sponsored by an academic unit
- Performances by guest musicians and/or artists for an academic course or event
- In cases where independent contractors are 100% funded on grant proposals with fixed start and end dates, they do not have to renew yearly with Human Resources as the initial approvals will last for the duration of the grant.
