Independent Contractors are an individual, business owner, or contractor who provides services to LC State. The general rule is that an individual is an independent contractor if the payer has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not what will be done and how it will be done.

These payments are handled by the Payroll Department. For more information or if you have further questions, please visit https://www.lcsc.edu/controllers-office/payroll/independent-contractor-payments, or call Payroll at (208) 792-2204 during business hours.
