Employment Status Test
The Employment Status Test was developed
to assist departments in determining whether an individual providing a
service should be classified as an employee or as an independent
contractor. The test includes 33 questions that assist in making this
determination. A copy of the form is available through the Accounts
Payable Office (X3-6475).
If Jefferson controls not only what an
individual accomplishes, but also how a task is accomplished, an employee
status is usually indicated. The individual is then paid through the
University payroll system.
Individuals for whom we do not exercise this control
are deemed independent contractors and are paid through the Accounts
Payable system. For a more detailed explanation, refer to TJU Policy
#103.19.
Instructions:
- Provide the name of the individual providing the services.
- Describe briefly the service that will be provided and for what
department.
- Provide the social security or federal ID number of the person
providing the services.
- Answer each of the 33 questions by placing an X under the YES
or NO column.
- Circle either independent contractor or employee under Department
Head Certification.
- Have the form signed and dated by the department head.
NOTE: This test must be attached to the initial Request
for Payment for independent contractors.
