Changes to Independent Contractor Payments
In May 2018, the procedure for payments to individuals against certain accounts codes was changed. Departments were required to have a contract in place before payments were processed. Vouchers submitted for payment required a contract control number be referenced. If a contract was not in place, departments were allowed to use a dummy contract control number (such as 99999 or 12345).
Effective July 1, 2019, the option to provide a dummy contract control number for payments to individuals against certain account codes will go away. If there is not a contract on file to reference, vouchers will not be processed. Instead, you will need to submit a confirming requisition (regardless of dollar value) with an explanation memo in order for payment to be processed.
