The University has no legal means of paying the invoice, and the individual making the initial arrangements shall be held legally responsible. These contracts may require as much as nine weeks for approval. If serial contracts add up to more than the bid limit or legal review limit, writing several lower individual orders or contracts is prohibited and will be rejected. Employees must be placed on the University's payroll in the appropriate classifications. Failure to do so leads to serious legal problems regarding such matters as withholding state, federal and local taxes, workers compensation, unemployment compensation, and the Commonwealth's obligation to defend suits brought against its employees.
Work is performed during regularly scheduled work hours.
Work is performed under the supervision of a University employee who controls the manner in which the work is done. The University furnishes the individual's equipment or supplies. The individual contracts regularly throughout the fiscal year with the University to provide the same service over and over. The University has the right to discharge the person by giving advance written notice. The individual performs the same duties as one holding a position in University service.
