#### Worker Classification

According to the [IRS](https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/independent-contractor-self-employed-or-employee), the following conditions determine if a worker is an employee or an independent contractor:

- **Behavioral:** Does the company control or have the right to control what the worker does and how the worker does his or her job?
- **Financial:** Are the business aspects of the worker’s job controlled by the payer? (these include things like how the worker is paid, whether expenses are reimbursed, who provides tools/supplies, etc.)
- **Type of Relationship:** Are there written contracts or employee-type benefits (i.e., pension plan, insurance, vacation pay, etc.)? Will the relationship continue, and is the work performed a key aspect of the business?

#### Funding Payroll

- Sponsored programs must maintain a budget of at least 2x monthly employment costs to ensure funds are available to pay employees.
- We can only give approval for new hires if there is enough money in the program's account.
