What is the difference between a contracted service and an honorarium?
If payment has been negotiated with the recipient and is given in return for services provided, it should be considered a contracted service. An honorarium is a token payment to confer distinction or to express respect, esteem or admiration for the recipient. Honoraria are sometimes given in lieu of reimbursing expenses.
The manager's signature confirms that the contract meets all applicable requirements and that it includes only the services agreed to in the contract.
ASRSP approval is needed when the requested payment is from a grant or contract governed by the ASRSP office. This ensures compliance with both University and sponsor regulations. Visit the ASRSP website for more detailed information.
The contractor's signature affirms that the person has not been paid as an employee of the University within the past twelve months and that the person will be responsible for all taxes due on the payment.
How do I process a payment for a contracted service?
The contractor fills out the Contracted Services Form (CSF), which must be approved by the hiring person. The signed and approved form must be attached to the Payment Request.
