Does the worker have a significant investment (capital, equipment, licensing, etc.) in his/her business?
Response: Typically, employers provide employees with facilities, tools, materials and other equipment. When the worker invests in these assets, there is a tendency to indicate independent contractor status. 2. Honoraria If the person is determined to be an independent contractor (based on the above), the services are of an academic nature, and the amount to be paid is less than $2,500, the honorarium process can be used. If not of an academic nature, or if the payment will be more than $2,500 refer to Section VIII. The College Honorarium Request Form (ATTACHMENTS II-4) must be submitted to the Business Office to initiate an honorarium payment. Following are key points regarding processing of the form: a) After completion, the form is distributed. b) Although it is not necessary to detail the types of expenses to be paid via honoraria, departments can limit the types of expenses to be paid. This can be done by specifying amounts in the “Breakdown of Expenses” portion of the form. Pleas
