Funding Contracts

• To ensure we have enough money to pay contractor invoices, we reserve program funds equal to three months of payments for all active contracts.
• We can only approve contracts if there is enough money in the program's account.

Submitting an Invoice

• To receive payment, contractors must send their invoices to their program supervisor.
• The supervisor will then forward the invoice to accounting@thenopi.org.
• Once we receive an invoice from the supervisor, it will be considered approved.

Worker Classification

According to the IRS, 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?
