Independent Contractors

When using Independent Contractors, will the department:

• Need this individual for continuous employment?
• Require him to have a UNM supervisor or direct his work?

• Require a set schedule or be on-call to the needs of the department?

• Have the contractor work exclusively out of UNM offices and does he/she use UNM resources?

• Use these individuals for short periods of time on an annual basis,  i.e. summer employment?

If the answer is yes to any of the above, then most likely, this person is not an independent contractor. Contact your HR Consultant.
