If you plan to hire certain types of individuals or businesses for work in your area, requirements must be followed to ensure they are correctly classified as employees or independent contractors. The Independent Contractor Guidelines, issued by Ohio State Business and Finance, provide an overview of the process for how to evaluate independent contractors and are available on the Purchasing website. Please reference EHE Independent Contractor Approval Process for additional guidance.
The College of Education and Human Ecology conducts background checks (BGCs) through the university-approved third-party vendor for all new and returning Independent Contractors/Consultants and Volunteers. Please reference our EHE Consultant-Contractor Background Check Process Instructions for guidance on this process.
