  • Employee or Independent Contractor — Which Is It?

    Presenter(s): Jessica Best, Sponsored Project Services; Jamie Bluhm, Workforce Planning and Recruitment

    Ah yes, the age-old question … OK, not really, but one we need to have answered either way. Hear about the exciting way UB determines if an individual providing services on your faculty’s grant is an independent contractor or an employee. The session will cover what this determination means in the proposal stage, and, if awarded, what the overall process will be. Presenters will share the plan to make the process as easy as possible and equip you with answers for when your PIs ask questions.
