Independent Contractors (IC) are generally individuals who follow an independent trade, business, or profession in which they offer their services to the public and complete such services free of control or direction from the payer as to the means and methods used to complete the task. Under the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) general rules, an individual is an IC if you, the payer, have the right to control the results of the work, not the means and methods.

All IC payments are processed through ShopBlue. Please contact your department administrator for contractor payment processing.
