SPP 210 Table

Before engaging services, the department representative completes the Consultant/Independent Contractor Determination Checklist appropriate for ASU at the Tempe, Polytechnic, or West campus, and submits the form to Human Resources (HR).

HR determines if a consultant/independent contractor or an employee-employer relationship exists, nepotism is a factor, or services should be provided through existing university hiring procedures.

If not approved, HR notifies the department and informs them of options available to employ the individual by following the section “Exceptions to Recruitment: Emergency Hires and Waivers” in SPP 201–01, “Recruitment/Employment.”

If approved, HR signs and returns the checklist to the department representative. For clarification, it may be appropriate to further document approval justification.

The department representative prepares the appropriate payment document (PV, RX, or Request for Check) and attaches it to the checklist and the Departmental Professional Services Order (see FIN 421–01 in the Financial Services Policies and Procedures Manual). The documents are forwarded to Payables and Reimbursements.

Payables and Reimbursements reviews and approves payment processing.
